My grandmother was murdered in Atlanta.
The evidence: Fingerprints inside the house.
Signed confession that matched the evidence
of the crime scene.
Testimony by the killer's roommate: "He told
me he killed an old woman that night."
Killer's own testimony on the stand that each
line of the confession was of in his own
words.
Verdict: Not Guilty

Holy sh*t! Jury nullification in action.
To: HighFlier
Oh, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother.
That justice was not served only aggravates the sadness.

I'm so sorry to hear about this, HF.
Why do you suppose the jury acquited him?
