Audlin's political ambitions are now almost quashed with what he thought to be a race/hate crime that turns out to be self defense against a family he well knows of and a kid that he denied bond on for 2 1/2 years and denied change of venue for. The prosecutor Telfair then misleads the public about the jurys deliberations and actual count of guilty vs manslaughter. Watch for a change of venue, bond grant and a real jury in another area to aquit or convict of a lesser offense quickly. This was a farce from the beginning, even the jury is too afraid to speak out about their own deliberations for fear of retribution. People should start to boycott the Keys for this type of behavior and create a paypal account for the defense of Ferro who just got caught up in the web of the Sharpton/Jackson politcal races. Even a small town like Gainesville was intelligent enough to realize their are more sides to the truth when thugs play the race card. Watch for some real media coverage on this now, "the truth shall set you free". The NY Times and Sun Sentinel are trying aggressively to get interviews with the jury and sooner or later the truth will get out.

Two possibilities: 1) he is washing his hands of a very messy situation which will only make him look bad such as change of venue, acquittal, dismissal of charges. Remember, this is an elected position. 2) following the first trial, he may really think that Ferro is innocent and might affect his judgement.
