Nine votes for acquittal: clearly, the government should drop the case. But it won’t because the prosecutors are afraid of the judges and many modern judges are tyrants who think they should be above criticism from the peasantry.
The prosecutors abruptly rested their case after only three days of an expected five-day trial without calling the alleged victim judges to testify. If they had, they would have been forced to explain their decision.
I suspect the judges told the prosector they didn’t want to answer questions, so the prosecutors threw the case intentionally. They will never retry this guy.
