Probably not. Wouldn't surprise me if this turned out to be an "OJ" jury that acquitted them all. The real threat would be a trial on federal civil rights violations. There it would be more likely to impanel an impartial jury and the sentencing guidelines are fairly strict. Following such a conviction, a civil action could impose a large payout on the defendants.
I hope it happens, but knowing the Republicans, I'm not holding my breath.
