And just like mistrials happen when something is stated incorrectly or shared that isn't allowed, you can't unring the bell. They heard Wilson's testimony believing an unconstitutional law ruled. It was weeks later the half hearted, never explained why it is incorrect, "just fold it in half" bullshit was stated. They long ago had it in their minds he had the right to shoot a fleeing suspect.
