From the text:
Jurors were the only ones allowed to view the video besides the judge and lawyers. Spectators listened, but officials turned the television away. Two jurors said the tape exonerates Robbins. One woman agreed to talk at length if promised anonymity.

"I can't even believe the state put this on trial," said the 44-year-old South suburban woman. "She's a willing participant. If you had seen the tape, you'd know. That's what basically cleared him."

Other than a brief view of his back, Robbins is not seen on the video, and his attorney, Robert Kuzas, argued it's unclear if the teen is engaged in oral sex with the girl.

Yeah, very damning.

The girl is heard making sounds and talking on the first part while having sex with Bezeri

So that indicates that she was not passed out and because she did not resist or say "stop" at that point it is likely she consented.

She does say "stop", later:

"Whether drunk or not, she was coherent. She was moving around and able to realize what she was doing. At one point, she says 'stop' and he did. I felt sorry for this girl getting herself in a predicament like this, but I agree with what the defense attorney said, this was an insult, not an assault."


No smoking gun here, Leila.
