I said dismissed with prejudice, but I meant mistrial with prejudice, which I think are different things. But I'm no lawyer. Regardless, dismissal would have given the left a narrative victory. They would be saying that a corrupt judge let him off and that they he would have been convicted had the case gone to the jury. The question would loom large over it, no one ever knowing what would have happened had it been given to the jury. They're going to go after the judge anyway, they already are. If he had dismissed it, that would only be compounded.
A jury that deliberated for days judged him not guilty. That's as thorough as you can get. It delegitimizes the left's anger and marrative more than any other outcome.

Michelle Obama said she was “devastated” by the shootings in Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week and is “exhausted and frustrated” at the trauma of Black and brown people in the US.
In a lengthy statement released on Friday, the former first lady condemned the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Wisconsin man shot seven times in the back by police in front of his children, as well as the shooting of three protesters by an alleged 17-year-old rightwing militant in the protests that followed.
“I’m just devastated by the shootings in Kenosha,” she wrote. “Like so many of you, I’m exhausted and frustrated right now. It’s a weight that I know Black and Brown people all across the country are shouldering once again. And we’re so often left wondering how things will get better.”
