AYFKM?

A mistrial? A mistrial?!?!?

Were all of the jurors on crack?

How much more cut-and-dried could a rape case be? The gang rape of an unconscious minor was videotaped, and jurors stated that the case had "ambiguities"?

Were they asleep during the showing of the video?

Addendum:

...(the defendant's) father, Donald Haidl, the assistant sheriff of Orange County, also wept as he hugged his son....The 21-minute incident was recorded by Haidl on July 5, 2002, during a party at the home of his father, who was not there at the time...

I must have glossed over that before. Beg pardon.

More....

A video shot previous to the trial-related video shows what upstanding citizens the accused really were.

The defense attempted to show the video had been tampered with. Oh, they also brought in a female ejaculation expert (a what?) to testify that the alleged victim hadn't urinated on herself, but ejaculated with excitement while being penetrated with a pool cue.

Follow the story.
