I'm sure they were probably correct in saying that they couldn't get a conviction with the case they had. You can't get a conviction anymore in a high profile case without people who will swear that they saw the whole thing happen. Jose Baez would be leaping in front of cameras up there and it'd become a circus and not a trial.
But the handling of the whole affair and the demeanor of the press conference are really pretty shameful. FSU might win a national championship but Tallahassee and the university have sure taken a black eye over this.
