Uhhhh Tom, what judicial system in America provides for a verdict of "innocent" to be entered? My understanding of judicial process is that it is the duty of the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and that a citizen does not have to "prove innocence"....

What you and those of your ilk deride as being "released on a legal technicality" is actually the right working of our system. The state couldn't perfect its case and the accused were released.
