Remember when the accused was innocent until proven guilty?

The thing about this one is half the population are going to continue to believe he's guilty, even if found not guilty ("They just didn't get enough evidence to convict him, and/or the system is rigged"), and the other half are going to continue to believe he's not guilty even if found guilty ("It's a political witch hunt, and/or the system is rigged").

Whatever the outcome, it's not going to move the needle much on public perception.

And good luck finding twelve impartial jurors with IQs above 7. If it takes a 12-0 vote to find him guilty, I don't think there's much chance of that happening.
