There is a ton of evidence she is not innocent. She lied about everything that happened that night. I doubt Ted Cruz would be distracted by emotion and misplaced jingoism.
So when/if you here that my guy Ted Cruz is thrilled with the decision, will you drop him?
BTW NY Post reports it this way.....
The judges declared that the two did not commit the crime, a stronger exoneration than merely finding that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict.
AND
Experts have said such a complete exoneration is unusual for the high court, which could have upheld the conviction or ordered a new trial as it did in 2013 when the case first came up to its review on appeal.

When I'm on a jury there has to be a ton of evidence that she is guilty. Lying about various things may indicate either guilt or not remembering and trying to get away from a conviction. It is up to the state to provide enough hard evidence to convict. In this case the evidence wasn't forthcoming. She may very well have done it, but "may have" is not enough. There wasn't the physical evidence tying her to the crime and the primary witness seems to have witnessed a lot of murders prior to this event.
