It could be because of a technicality, lack of evidence, or due to a jury not believing the defendant is guilty. That’s not to say that guilty people shouldn’t be jailed, it is to say that the benefit of having solid and smart defense counsel is often not realized until someone who should be locked-down for 20 years walks free with a not-guilty verdict.
