I want answers on the flipped/ mirrored video. Hope the IA will Investigate that. Not crossing my fingers either...

Of course, I don't know but I'm thinking that might be of their lesser concerns. I blame Lally in full for presenting that video without having a witness explain at the outset it was flipped. He wanted to confuse the jury.
It's MOO, but I don't see a retrial here. Even the judge acknowledges there are going to be appeals from one side no matter how she rules on the motion to dismiss two of the charges so that will push a trial back much further into next year, if not into 2026. In the meantime, shoes are likely to continue to drop. And there's still the FBI who we've yet to hear from.
For those following the horrific Sandra Birchmore case, Fanning was very much involved with that. (as was Canton cop Michael Lank who testified in this case and of course, Albert brother Kevin who is already suspended for bad behavior).

From your post @OldCop - below seems to be pretty on target. Betting lots of money that many of the jurors did not understand the concept.Not MA law per se but here’s a couple I found:
‘Breaking the Chain of Causation’
An important principle in common and criminal law is that a defendant is not liable for a harm if there is a ‘break in the chain of causation’ between the defendant’s wrongful conduct and the harm. For example, if the negligence of a tanker company causes oil to leak onto the street, which is...talks.ox.ac.uk
Causation in Legal Contexts
The importance of establishing causation in legal cases especially in personal injury.www.thewilsonpc.com
It is often used in negligence cases and/or
JMO
“ Understanding the difference between causation and correlation is also essential. While correlation indicates a relationship between two events, it does not imply that one event caused the other. Causation, on the other hand, establishes a cause-and-effect relationship, asserting that one event directly leads to another.”
The judge is very experienced, or in the words of my favorite Attorney 'Not all experience is good experience. Sadly they often have lots of experience in doing it the wrong way!
