Hardly surprising -- he avoided a murder charge, why not this?
.
Could the Gazette report on his murder trial in a little more depth, so we could understand why he got an acquittal?

<sigh> If I were just a gold fish.
I'd know my world.
Five flips left, and the "wall".
Three flips back, and the "wall".
Things would be so much easier in the small, narrow world of a gold fish.
