This is why lawyers get paid the big bucks. Regular people don't know ish about legalities and on top of that their morals are low so when they hear the actual case and its not filled to the brim with tea they were hoping for (and this one actially is unless your completely desensitised), they are disappointed and figure he is not guilty of anything

"omg my porn obsessed desensitised self is not completely disgusted by what I'm reading so there must be nothing wrong here!"
Trials are actually very boring procedures on average. From time to time I watch them to fall asleep to lol
