There should be no cheering the mock conviction of a dead man who could not defend himself. There was another trial where there was no conviction (ABA).
He had a lawyer, and obviously elected not to testify, putting the prosecution to their burden of proving the matter beyond a reasonable doubt - you may wish to re-examine your doubts in light of this.
What trial - are you referring to any one of the countless criminal trials that occur each and every day where the accused is found "not guilty" or are you referring to one in particular?
