Well, Ginny, I also heard the same analysis on Public Radio here in Nashville. They said that the allegation was that the prosecutors did not put on a very good case, and that they were not as dilligent in their cross examination of the officers, or in their attempts to bring forth witnesses or experts to strengthen their arguments. Overall, the impression by observers of the trial was that prosecutors could have put on a stronger case, but visibly did not. It is good at least that the justice department will review the verdict for what that's worth.
