It certainly helped that the defense faceplanted at every junction.
I know jurys arent supposed to watch the news, but it would have been hard to miss a number of police killings in the week leading up to the verdict. I imagine that might have helped as well.
It's not justice, this is no substitute for reform, but its nice to win one.
