Was this another example of jury nullification?

jury nullification usually means that the jury rejects the state authority

If the DA has pursued and the jury had convicted him of first degree homicide, you would have a strong argument that they ignored the facts presented to them and/or the judge's instructions regarding the law.
Given the lower level of intent associated with the three offenses that the DA actually charged in this case, that is a VERY difficult argument to make in good faith.
The state certainly charged him with everything they could reasonably have charged, but they did not over-charge. Result? They got a conviction.

No, this is institutionalized jury intimidation.
Apparently, everyone is okay with it, too.
