Eh, maybe, as long as wrong guy doesn't get arrested and harassed and / or martyred for the sake of closing the case.
Judging from the response of the internet, which of course could be wildly different from the public as a whole, it doesn't seem like a crazy idea that at least 1/12 jurors would refuse to convict the real shooter. Seems like a possibility of mistaken identity only increases those odds.
Hmm, fair point.
