I think he will still ultimately get nailed, but I think this is just another example of "the good guys" bending over backwards to appease the obvious criminal when they would not treat anyone else with these sorts of kid gloves. Even if he gets ultimately indicted and convicted, he has received a benefit of the doubt that no one else would have ever gotten and certainly one that he himself did not deserve.
