Based on my readings about the trial, it seemed to me that regardless of
whether Reiser was guilty, they didn't have the evidence to properly
convict him. In other words, the jury was full of knuckleheads who
returned a "guilty" verdict based on their dislike for the man on the
stand rather than evidence supporting certainty beyond a reasonable
doubt. Now, it looks like he actually did it.
I guess it's smarter to be lucky than it is lucky to be smart.
