I didn't read through all of this, so SIAP, but what is sad is the amount of time and money spent by the State of Alabama to investigate, raid and attempt to prosecute this issue that could have been spent elsewhere.
You actually believe that these guys are not guilty?!?! They have several of them dead to rights on this shite and because the prosecution doesnt have what amounts to video evidence the juries hung.
This is a result of a real phenomenon in this country called the "CSI effect". Television has devalued circumstantial evidence to the point that people now think that its irrelevant when it is in fact, still evidence, and still relevant. If it wasnt relevant, it wouldnt still be admissible.
I'm sure WDE can elaborate more on this.

They were found not guilty by a jury of their peers, just like OJ.

I'm going to go (not very far) out on a limb and say that 98% of all circumstantial evidence-only cases still result in the defendant being found guilty. Juries fricking love to send someone to prison.
That's less true in extremely high profile cases... but, by and large, if you are on trial you are most likely fricked.
