Yeah, I mean, so it's certainly not a victory, right?

We wanted to hear a not guilty verdict, and that's the only thing that we would have accepted as victory in this case.

But it's also not a loss.

You know, he's not been convicted.

We get the chance to go to another trial if the state decides to retry it.

So it's not a loss, but it's not a win.

And, you know.

We're ready to go again whenever the time comes.

Obviously, it's not the best feeling in the world to have a mistrial, but it's not the worst feeling in the world either.

Much, much better than the jury having come back with a guilty verdict.

So the feeling is somewhere in the middle.

Yes.

So, I mean, we did get to present the defense we wanted, broadly speaking.

Right.

We argued to the jury that Rashawn Jones was not responsible.

The thing that we weren't able to get into and the thing we weren't able to present to the jury were third party culpability theories.

Other people who may have been responsible, other people's names who came up during the investigation that weren't looked into sufficiently, who could have been responsible for this crime.

One of them, there's sort of

two or three categories of these alternative theories that we wanted to get into.

The first had to do with a fight that happened at a club in the summer of 2006.
