Watch, it'd be the first cut for getting rid of jury trials, to be replaced with star chambers with "right-thinking" tribunals/judges. Because juries are made up of wrong-thinking rednecks and randos and such, how can you trust them to make proper decisions? :P This will be a push eventually, just watch. Even if they have to manufacture a dog and pony trial. "No pox found guilty, no white found innocent".
I predict a guilty verdict. The Jurors know it's their necks on the line, and when the choice comes between voting guilty and going home to your wife and kids, or voting innocent at great personal risk, few would be willing to follow the intent of a system that did not care enough to protect its guardians.
Yeah, especially now that someone left a pig's head and smeared pig blood at the (former, luckily) residence of one of the witnesses. The mob is out for blood.
