I don't have the transcripts I have just watched what news reports and the information presented here.
Agman has offered enough proof that the testimony about manipulation of the markets was untested, and thus unreliable. That alone would be enough to have a mis-trial.
I would say the same thing about the "proof" Econ tries to say he has provided about market manipulation.
Saying trust me I am sure there is a back room deal and Tyson drops the price of beef to make money on chicken unless the consumer is in a generous mood and wants to pay more for beef unless there are more imports that Tyson can make more money on, unless Wal-mart tells the gov't that the USDA should sue Canada and BSE is caused by aliens that are controlled by the drug cartels, isn't convincing proof.
Normal business transactions will influence the market. If I sell off all my cheaper bulls first the likelyhood of the price on the top bulls coming down is slim. If I can't get any bulls sold, the price comes down, or is manipulated.
