You can't.

Again, this is why I distrust juries. They place a lot of weight on testimonials rather than actual evidence. (This is why New Age quackery has been so resurgent!)

They put him away for 27 years, based essentally on unfounded say-so. So, two people point the finger and he's done? Were any adults present in the courtroom? Jeez!
