NOT GUILTY?!

What the fuck? What is wrong with that jury? I could see that as something that is necessary at first because they really can't prove it, but they found the calling card in his house! He had the card used to call one of the locations. He's there alone, nobody else would've used that card. "He's a fall guy" actually worked as a defense given the actual evidence against him, the video of him buying the cards?

I remember when this happened years back and seeing the snippets of video that were released depicting the horrifying nature of the crime, but never followed it over the years except for reading a small news story when they found the guy. I never imagined, though, that he'd go free. God fucking damn, even with the civil judgement, I feel so sorry for the victims in these cases knowing the monster that did this was set free by 12 idiots. The question on whether it's him using the cards can be answered on why he's buying the cards. Is he buying them for someone else or for himself. Do they have a witness that states that the cards are for them? Is it probable at all that anyone else would be using the calling cards. Does he own a phone service? If so, then why would he be buying prepaid phone cards? If he had the phone service or cell phone that he regularly used, what purpose would the cards serve other than to allow him to make calls without a record?

There are a thousand arguments with some logic as to why something is wrong here or why his claims don't add up, and only one argument to the contrary being made, the argument you'd get from a middle-schooler caught red handed: "nuh-uh". And apparently "no." was good enough to acquit against real evidence, opportunity, and motive.
