The acquittal almost certainly has very little to do with "a Southern jury" in the sense apparently implied and, instead, by the trial being (even if not deliberately) one of the most incompetently prepared and tried criminal prosecutions especially of a high profile case that one is likely to see.
It is easy to make a list of obvious things the prosecution should have done but did not do and of things that (with some exceptions by the two younger lawyers) the prosecution chose to do but should not have done or did (at best) ineffectually.
BTW, except for the media frenzy from the outset of Z's non-arrest and ensuing incessant bloviating about it - e.g., on an important day of the Bradley Manning trial, which he hasn't even mentioned much less informatively covered, MSNBC's mostly execrable Chris Matthews referred Z's trial as "The Most Important Criminal Case In The Country!!!" - it was an essentially trivial case and trivial trial.
