The point is that you can make reasonable rebuttals to either argument, which means that one of the major remaining criteria for picking a side is team loyalty.  And that's fine and to be expected, but I think that anyone who claims either absolute guilt or absolute innocence is an unthinking homer.  

Was it the DA who had the press conference where he listed all things they though Ben had done and bemoaned the fact that they really, REALLY wanted to prosecute but didn't have enough evidence OR a witness?  Because he's the one who has perpetuated this story for so long by going over and over all the accusations and then spending about ten seconds saying the evidence wasn't enough while insisting he wanted to go forward but couldn't.
