Murderers sometimes get their cases dismissed for court misconduct or mistakes.

That said, if this was only statutory rape I would be more inclined to feel they should drop the charges, but the testimony makes it clear that she said no and he used force. Since she favors dropping them, I won't lose sleep if they do. But if they don't drop the charges I certainly won't pity him. He's rich, got away with rape, and lives like a king in Europe where he's beloved and what he did isn't considered wrong. For the first few years after he left, he made it a point to publicly flaunt dating 14 and 15 year olds.
