It reminds me of the old joke:
A couple were getting ready for a masquerade party when the wife came down with a headache and decided to stay home. The husband was concerned but at his wife's insistence of going out and having a good time he agreed to go alone.
He put on his mask and costume and made his way to the party after kissing his wife goodnight. An hour later the wife woke up feeling much better and decided to surprise her husband at the party. When she got there she was shocked to see him grinding up on all sorts of women on the dancefloor. She realized he didn't know what mask she was wearing and decided to see how far he would go. She met him on the dance floor and after a short time had coerced him into meeting up stairs in the bedroom. During their rendezvous they kept the masks on and she slipped away to head home feeling very conflicted.
When the husband got back she asked him how the party was. He told her that he wasn't feeling the party without her and decided to head downstairs to play poker with the guys. But he did lend his costume to his friend Paul who told them he had one crazy night!
----------------------------------------
The article doesn't go into much detail into why he was acquitted. It says he maintained that his wife believed it was him and the defense lawyer says the judge and jury had concerns for the victims credibility. So to me that seems to indicate that the man was acquitted because there wasn't enough proof against him. I wonder if he had admitted that he had misled her what the verdict would have ended up being?
