Or OJ. It's all about raising "reasonable doubt." That's all a defense atty. has to do. And it's a hard standard (91% certainty) to meet. Sometimes, I think prosecutors rely to heavily on *reverse* Jury nullification... that is, hoping the jury will be so outraged with the crime that happened that they'll go ahead and convict the defendant, even when presented a week case. It won't work. I know. I've served on such a jury.
Hopefully, the feds can file other charges, etc.
