Of course this isn't from a media source, but you can tell that proper procedures in talking to the girl alleging the incident weren't followed, and the court system and the prosecutors appeared to be more interested in getting through a case and getting another notch on their conviction board rather than really dispense justice. I can't speak for her completely, but I recall she had an appointed defense attorney, and not one she hired herself, and that perhaps this was part of the problem as well, as a more competent and motivated defense attorney would have made sure that the case were investigated properly and prosecuted properly as well.
If you are a jury, and you don't have the case presented to you properly, you could render a wrong verdict. It's been done before as DNA tests have shown in many other cases, and it will be done again. As important as a jury decision is, it is equally as important that the process of investigation and prosecution is done properly as well, which starts with the school, continues with the police, and ends with the prosecution attorneys and judge if it goes to court.
