1) If evidence was withheld that was material to the defense-- things like, witnesses observing somebody different fleeing from the scene, and a case can be made that this other testimony was not followed up, thereby affecting the plaintiff's defense... and that therefore any confession was made under duress... what is the outside chance that a mistrial is declared? And, given the double jeopardy protection, what is the chance that the accused walks?

2) If the accused walks, what are the chances that he becomes president in 30 years, and also at that time wins the Nobel peace prize? After all, some might say there is a tradition for this, as witness what they would call the terrorism-to-national-leader-and- peace-prize-recipients Menachem Begin, and Nelson Mandela.
