However even if he was racist, he didn't go shooting up a reserve. The evidence still agrees with his story. The only piece of evidence that said otherwise, was the girl who testified that she saw Gerald walk around to the passenger side, and shoot him in the head twice, as he was sleeping in the passenger seat. Of course that goes against the autopsy, blood stains, other witnesses, etc.

Well, the evidence (absent Mr. Stanley’s own exculpatory account) was also consistent with the Crown’s theory on both the murder charge and the manslaughter charge. Mr. Stanley was acquitted because, apparently, his exculpatory account raised a reasonable doubt in the jury’s minds. That doesn’t, of course, prove that he is innocent (in the same way that DNA evidence might actually exclude someone from possibly having committed a particular offence).
