He was tried by a jury of your peers though and found not guilty. I'm assuming these guys got a federal jury
I guess you don't believe in the concept of innocent until proven guilty?
One can believe in this concept and believe a decision (or the law) was wrong.
One can also let themselves be misled by the media for political reasons.

If you actually watched the trial and reviewed the publicly available evidence, and still think the jury made the wrong decision, then I agree, you have a right to that opinion.

However, if you only believed he is guilty because your favorite media figures told you this, then I would say you don't actually believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
