I don't know about others, but I am always happy when these trials turn out well because bottom line these are successful black men that are on trial, as much by the media as by the judicial system.
There is something redeeming about the fact that, though the cards seemed stacked against him and the media would convict him before the trial has even begun, a black man can triumph. I always feel that the media treats each of these case going back to O.J., yeah I went there, as a case study for Black America, to prove their hypothesis that black Americans are rotten to the bone, regardless of how much money or status they have. (Again, just my humble opinion.)
As far as whether he is guilty or not, I don't know. I always taking these things with a grain of salt. There are always so many conflicting reports that I have difficult distinguish reality from fiction, so I generally refrain from passing judgement.
