Super annoying thing the media does to just ask a prof somewhere about what they think on legal matters. There are people teaching at law schools who have plenty of abstract knowledge but who have either not actually done anything in the field for ten years, or in some cases, ever.
You could google their credentials if it's that important to you .....I didn't feel the spectrum of opinion was as wide as Photon suggested. I interpreted each quote suggested all of the professor's felt the email chain was evidence which could be used to demonstrate guilt. However, whether the email chain was a slam dunk for conviction was where the opinions varied. And, really, no one is going to go down that road until it truly is a slam dunk.
