McGrath, some members of the jury of the criminal case made it clear they were making a statement against the white LA police.

The statement being that they didn't believe some of them, and that they were suspicious that the forensics had been tampered with. If they thought that was the case, they were pretty well bound to bring in a Not Guilty verdict.

After all, there've been a fair number of cases where people have been convicted on basis of falsified or misleading forensic evidence and testimony, and where it's later turned out they shouldn't have been convicted. I'm, aware of a fair number of times that has happened in England, and I'm sure it's happened in the States as well.

Trials aren't about proving people are innocent. They are about proving they are guilty, and the jury decided that had not been done.
