I'd guess the evidence here was simply not enough for the jury to be 'sure' of the guilt. They're directed to say 'not guilty' even if there is evidence of guilt but they can't be sure. I wouldn't doubt that he was actually watching the show, but if that can't be proven in court, then, unfortunately, the jury has no choice but to return this disappointing verdict.

I hope the jury had been presented with rock solid evidence to reach this conclusion, the article doesn't suggest that was the case though. Smidsy wins again?
