I had no idea that was even possible. They Greyhound guy defended from the outset he was not criminally responsible. Of course, there were over 40 witnesses that saw him do it.
To essentially get two trials, one to see if the crime is proven, and then a second to see if you can be found not guilty for other reasons, would not sit well with many people, let alone on this board.
