Yes ... "Jurors: you have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience."

From:
https://goodlawproject.org/high-court-slaps-down-fanciful-prosecution-of-trudi-warner/

The High Court has slapped down the solicitor general’s “fanciful” attempt to prosecute Trudi Warner for contempt of court, declaring that the minister had “significantly mischaracterise[d] the evidence”.
...
But the judge was clear that if the solicitor general wants to address this concern, he should do it in parliament, “not by way of contempt proceedings”.


I hope that the Solicitor General does not see the latter as an invitation.
