Georgia 529

jury nullification, which is one of the rights of the jurors not to decide on the facts of the case, but to decide on laws relating to it, then the decision of the judges' orders, and / or written law.

In Georgia, is an officer of the court (a lawyer) or any other person authorized to inform the jury of this power?

I read "Today no officer of the court is allowed to tell the jury of their veto.
last sentence under the "ban" section

Is this true? And if not, the defendant may address the jury and inform them?

It is a tough and courts do not want people to know what their powers. I, while a member of the jury, once got someone about to be spun off, and has never been "invited" to any new jury. They like to have on these models. ~
And if my co jurors were an indication of what is typically possible, they are dumb as dirt. I want to protest against having any of these idiots proclaimed my peers.

Exactly. It follows a Mistrial automatic if an officer of the court does such a thing. This is true in the courts ALL United States, state and federal. No, the defendant can not address the jury and inform them of this. If he / she tries, it will be immediately reduced to silence by the judge and the comment stricken from the record. In addition, the judge will issue instructions to the jury.
