It is important to remember as well that none of this was spur-of-the-moment. This jury deliberated for the better part of four days before delivering their verdict. I think we can assume with confidence that justice was done.
Whether or not we agree with the verdict is, in the end, superfluous. What I hope we all CAN agree on though is that, even with it's flaws, America still has the best justice system on the planet.

I am not qualified for my opinion. For me the English system has merit. As I understand it, you appear before a judge not a jury. If, you launch a case and you lose you pay the expenses of the falsely accused. The United States has far more attorneys per capita and far fewer cases as well. Cause and effect?
