I was happy for him when I saw this on the news yesterday. It was morally wrong for him to cheat on his wife, have a baby with his mistress and spend federal funds on her (his mistress), but cheating is a man (and females too) thing. Guys do it all the time...BIG DEAL. I am not saying what he did was right, but it doesn't mean he should go to jail for 30 years for it.
If that was the case, EVERY Nigerian politician (and some leaders in third world countries) would spend 1000 years in jail for stealing govt funds and having mistresses, lol.
His political career is RUINED but I am glad he is a free man.
Jurors talked publicly for the first time today on "Good Morning America" about the sometimes heated exchanges inside the jury room, as the days ticked by and the pressure mounted for 12 strangers to come to a unanimous consensus about the legal culpability of a man whose moral failings were on full display.
"Everybody's got their own beliefs based off what they saw and they stood their ground, they stood by their decision and I respect that," said juror Jonathan Nunn, a maintenance technician who voted "not guilty" on all six counts.
