As you may recall in civics class..to get chosen for a jury one must be impartial and willing to look at actual evidence, the law and instructions from the court, and not vote on flights of fancy.
And obviously the defense did well on judging the emotional maturity of the jurors in this case.

And the belief that cops are somehow "special" doesn't fall into this.
And none of what I've said has anything to do with flights of fancy. It's all based on solid evidence.
The only difference is that I recognize that cops are fallible. Very much so, in fact, as opposed to most of the rest of you who put them on a pedestal (until, of course, they shoot your dog or loved one.)

The defense did very well to avoid a murder rap for a murderer but they also managed to get a cop convicted for on-duty actions which almost never happens.
At best they are batting .500.
