Oh, don't get me wrong, nobody could view that video and not have a reaction...what I'm trying to say is that that tape was a devastating piece of evidence. Without it, there might not have been a trial, let alone a public outcry like we saw.
With that tape, the defense couldn't have gotten those officers off the hook in South Africa!! That's why I say something happened in the minds of those jurors...and what happened was, they felt less and less outrage each time they saw it, over and over and over.
And yes, Capybara, I was thinking about that sneaky little "Change-of-Venue" to Simi Valley when I was writing. I definitely believe that was instrumental in the defense strategy.
Just couldn't fit it in. There were several factors that came into play, in how those guys got off like that. That's all.
