released on a technicality.

The "technicality" being that the evidence did not stand up to examination, and the jury believed the conviction should not be allowed to stand. That's an interesting use of "technicality".

Trials are not about opinions as to what might have happened,based on media coverage, they are about a court deciding whether the evidence is strong enough to overthrow the presumption of innocence.
