The city, county, and state needed a not guilty verdict to inoculate themselves from civil and criminal liability. Not really that hard to see based on what evidence and testimony was to be allowed. It was like the state and the shooter were co-defendant, and the state makes the rules.

They should not be cleared from civil charges based on a not guilty criminal ruling. Recall OJ’s two trials.
Interesting perspective. Good comment.
