It was a botched case. Their was way too many inconsistencies.
Kato heard thumping on a wall. A wall in which no blood was found. Next, why would he jump the wall to his own residence when he can go through the gate. I find it hard to believe he performed this by himself in the timeframe provided. I believe he had help if he did it. I have also seen the route and with no traffic and high speed he is a minimum of 8-12 minutes away. If he broke all the traffic laws, someone would have seen a white Bronco shooting through major intersections.
The defense won the case by exposing loopholes and using race as a tactic but overall their is some doubt in the case and any reasonable doubt gets a not guilty vote in our system.
Also, just out of curiosity how does a criminal be declared not guilty in a criminal murder trial but guilty for wrongful death in a civil trial. I would think one trial would take precedence over the other.
