I think snedden was blinded by his zelousness.
Jackson may have done the molesting in other situations, but this specific one came across as a con job using michael's past as an attack point.
Since this was the only case before him this was the only case the jury could decide.
The DA dropped the ball before the first juror was selected. Snedden showed he had a weak case because he had to resort to press conference games and leftist gestapo portrayals of executing his valid search warrents.
I believe it was not a portrayal as a grifter, she was proven to be a grifter because the jury voted the way it did.
In the end Snedden had snedden done nothing it would have not stopped the steady decline of MJ. Snedden has now done more to rehabilitate Jackson's career than any other stunt. That has to really bug him.
What happened to Nancy Grace? She was so sure MJ would be guilty, then right when they said Not Guilty she went off air.
Michael Jackson is a kid-toucher. Incarceration is the only way to end his 'decline'. Now that he's free to 'touch again', he will, and it's only a matter of time.
That's the best summation of what went wrong with this case that I've seen yet.
