Emerson a poor test case. Dr. Emerson was not the most innocent of victims. Why would you say that? I thought I had read that he was acquitted of the assault charge and that the trial judge admonished his estranged wife for essentially making things up on the stand.
Did I get it wrong?

No, there was still some charge that was allowed to stand. Think about it, if you have been acquitted, you would be a free man and there would be no reason to appeal and the state cannot further prosecute you. If the judge had dismissed the charge, then the state could appeal to have the charge reinstated, (I think).
