The jury came back not guilty. Virtanen is free to go.
That’s the country we live in, and I don’t think you’d enjoy living in a country where a Not Guilty jury verdict isn’t worth the paper its printed on.

No one is complaining about the verdict. And no one is saying “it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on”. He gets to go free. That’s what it’s worth. What I’m saying is that (a) it doesn’t mean innocent and (b) based on a whole lot of factors there’s a decent chance he did it. Hell, she could still quite conceivably win a civil case with the court saying it’s more likely than not that he assaulted her. See Simpson, OJ.
