I feel for the men and their families because in this society once you are accused the media pretty much findas you guilty and it is hard to resme a normal life.
25 minutes is a world record speed for a jury. Means they really had nothing to deliberate and I would bet they sat in there an adiitional 15 minutes because they thought they were going too fast. Also, every jury member voted "not guilty" not just 5 or just four - ALL six voted "not guilty". I am glad it is being publicized so maybe people will start to realize some of the ridiculous cases that ruin innocent people's lives goes on. It is more commen they we all like to think.

It looks like the prosecution chose the wrong people to deal with. If they had dealt with the two who were found not guilty and gone after the ones who copped plea deals, they probably could have scored convictions on the bigger charges.
