Season 2 was stupid with that verdict (spoilers)

The defense was extremely weak and that made the verdict unbelievable. If you're going to let an obvious killer go free, you need to make it believable.

Also, Charlotte Rampling's character was supposed to be this great Lawyer but most of the trial she seemed no better than a Public Defender but even still, with that horrible defense where they said things like the Detectives were having an affair because they spent a few hours in a hotel together was simply absurd and an extreme form of heresay.

The jury was composed of stupid people who were easily swayed by the pure bullshit the defense was spouting day after day. The judge was also an idiot to have tossed out Joe's confession, in spite of the fact that it was completely voluntary and it could easily be proved that it took place before Ellie assaulted him.
