There's a dead rat in this case somewhere, stinking up the facts. I read the case history by what the jury saw and it gave the jury a reason to convict.
It's the American justice system. The President has very little to do with it, particularly the element of blame like so many here have chosen to do.
There was an article on here where some on the jury would not vote them guilty. Another juror told them the judge would not accept a hung jury. That is what made them change their vote.
