    Yes, they all got out of it despite all of them being guilty. Because they’re rich.

      Your opinion does not make someone guilty. There was not enough evidence to convict.

          If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit

            I’m aware. And it wasn’t because of a lack of evidence.

              It was because the defense was able to cast doubt on the evidence because of how terribly it was handled. The best evidence in the world won’t help if the police and the prosecution screw it all up.
