I think some of the newspaper reporting is bordering on the libellous, given the Not Guilty verdict. As you say, the jury system is, in general, the fairest so I'm working on the assumption that we can trust their judgement in this instance.
If Sion Jenkins had been found guilty first time around, he'd probably be not far off parole by now. Ironic.
