Sad state of affairs indeed. Here we have two of the bastards that have caused this mess, here's out chance for payback and the moron jury lets them go! What in the world gives with this country? Now, I'm willing to be that if the guys had been wrongly or unjustly accused, they would have fried. Go figer Amerikans!
