As I understand it, this was a jury trial. A jury can disregard a law if they feel the law does not apply. Another classic example of why one must not just know - must also know why. Apparently even the jury forewoman even thought their verdict was wrong. Then why did she blindly vote to enforce an inappropriate law? Well many juries are told they cannot do what is their responsibility.
Judges have limited powers to overturn a jury verdict. Therefore ‘vermin’ was the jury that failed to do their job.
