I did not read the court transcripts (sorry, I won't sign up to such a site.... who knows who is watching, particularly on a case such as this) so I don't know what evidence was presented.
A couple of things seriously bother me about this case, though.. first, why the change of venue to New York, one of the most hoplophobic areas in the nationi? Second, I thought the Constitution protects an accused from being dragged through multiple trials for the same allegation. Seems this happened, despite the contsitutional protection against it. Seems to me, the first jury did not convict, he's not guilty. So now they go and pull more cards out from their sleeves, and have another go.. and again, no conviction. What gives? Does the government have the right (and budget) to make any number of attempts, dredging up new "evidence", polishing their speeches, hoping for a "hanging jury" next time, until they finally succeed? The guy's been behind bars for a year and a half now... as if he were a dangerous criminal making plans to off those erroneous judges. And this is "justice"? Hmmmm....
I do think the chap in view here ought to have bridled his tongue, making a more subtle plea for redress of grievance agains these judges, now proven mistaken. Seems if they reached the conclusion they did on the Chicago Gun Ban cases, there is something wrong with them.. failing to uphold their sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution.
