Acquitted?

Got to love those Cook County juries and the ASA's who can't make a case:

• Joseph Biedermann fatally stabbed his Hoffman Estates neighbor 61 times last year.

  On Friday, a Cook County jury acquitted him of first-degree murder, buying his claim that he was defending himself against an unwanted sexual advance, his mother confirmed Saturday.

  Biedermann, 30, killed Terrance Michael Hauser, 38, early on March 5, 2008, in the Barrington Lakes apartment complex on Hassell Road, where they lived in separate units.

  Police recovered a 7-inch dagger from the scene, Hoffman Estates police said after Biedermann's arrest.

Got the weapon. Got a corpse with 61 holes in it. Got motive and the offender's DNA. Even have the offender sleeping off a drunken binge with the body right there.

Acquitted.

Call us silly, but 61 stab wounds is just a little bit over the, "I was fending off an unwanted advance" defense. Probably 50 or 55 times over the limit. But hey, it's Cook County. Proven once again to be the #1 location in America to commit a murder and get away with it.
