“By gum we’ll find another jury to convict then.”
4 charges and hung on every one.
That is the real problem for the prosecutor; this was supposed to be the easiest of the cases, and they couldn’t agree on ANY of the charges. To rational people, this would indicate that the media had hyped up a case much more than merited.
In the Rodney King beating trial, the jury was shown the full recording of the incident (in which King initially fought the cops) - and they promptly acquitted the cops involved. Low-information creatures, responding to the second half of the tape that had been broadcast for sensationalism, rioted for days...
I was about to ask about that. The jury couldn’t agree on even one of the four charges! Wow.
