Just because the jury was full of idiots, doesn't mean the rest of the country can't see that.

Plus, resisting officer with violence, battery of law enforcement officer, and a restraining order against him for domestic violence.

Nice guy, just the kind of person the world needs walking around with a concealed weapon. Now he's gotten away with murder. He hasn't fooled anyone, except for those six jurors, apparently.
