Didn’t he confess?

He did, but sometimes confessions are coerced by the police, or manipulated out of mentally-troubled people. (Some of the recent cases where convicted people were freed because of DNA evidence involved confessions that turned out to be untrue.) Aside from the confession, there was zero evidence against this guy-- no physical evidence, no witnesses. Had I been on that jury, I might have voted to convict, but I would have thought long and hard about it first.

I hear ya. That makes sense. that 12 out of 12 thing is tough
