@LC...Would it have been possible for Judge Bates to have ruled in such a way as to keep the door open for future prosecution? Just seems a little crazy to me that he was acquitted in a way that makes it almost impossible to prosecute. I am also curious as to why his step father is so adamant that he is innocent. Maybe they have just convinced themselves? Practically speaking, the cigarette butt proves he was there. He was never a guest in that home. SW did not take a half cigarette with him. I understand there was doubt because of the way the case was put together etc., BUT he was there!
