Would you have acquited William Lynch?

First, I am a big fan of jury nullification. But I would have convicted for assault. It is not a close case. First there is no proof of the molestation, and second, it was 37 years ago (no hot blood), and third, even if there was molestation, but no charge or conviction, the notion that you get a license to beat the guy up, is unacceptable. If the authorities refused to move 37 years ago, after the priest was reported, so there was a prosecutorial failure then, I might have a bit more sympathy, but not much.
