One of my friends was on the jury and told us afterwards that they felt that he probably was guilty, but they could not convict on their feelings. They determined that the state had not proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt and they could not render a verdict of guilty because of the state's failure to build a tight case.
This story is going to be on tonight at 8:00 on LMN (119 on Comcast). It's titled "Texas Justice".
