The WaPo makes the case:
After all was said and done, the jury was convinced that Mr. Hamdan was simply a low-level, uneducated father of two who stuck with a job chauffeuring Osama bin Laden because it paid well enough to support his family.

Apparently nothing contained in evidence introduced in secret sessions persuaded jurors to believe otherwise.
