    Wasn’t one of the reasons because the jury was worried about a reaction similar to the Rodney King riots?

    I had heard this at the time, but someone correct me if I’m wrong

      I’m never sure whether that’s a serious concern or just “I didn’t agree with the jury’s ruling. Am I out of touch with the evidence? No, it’s the jury that’s wrong!”
