Deputy marshal John T. Ambrose, 42, stared straight ahead as jurors returned the verdict after almost three days of deliberation. He was acquitted of two charges of lying to federal agents, and sentencing was set for Sept. 9.

Now when honest people testify this is the results. Well I take that back this happens when there's not a corrupt Judge.
Interesting, yes an uncorrupted judge always helps. Hey Grant is a cutie (not that I noticed;)
