I've seen no rational justification for assuming that this jury won't deliver a true verdict. But, rational is subjective and it's just my opinion.

Just gotta find one "sympathetic" juror . . .
(Hell . . . look at the abominations within the military's handling of sexual assaults. These officers took an oath, too. And then ignored it.)
