It's down to the jury so personalities sometimes overcome what would otherwise seem to be overwhelming evidence of guilt. Another high profile celebrity tax case was Ken Dodd - and all the evidence seemed to point to him being 99.9% guilty....and he got off.
From what I've heard so far twitchy's defence is stupidity/ignorance.....which I always thought was no defence at all.....! The case doesn't look particularly complicated so looks every bit as obvious that he is guilty as charged, but so was Ken Dodd!
If he does get convicted then, whether he goes down or not, it is very difficult to see the FA not taking action against him.....! Unlikely I know, but this was football related....and involving a club who have since been involved in severe financial difficulties! Apart from not disclosing this to the tax man, he also didn't disclose it to the FA!

Redknapp: "I'm most disorganised person in world. I can't work a computer, don't know how to email. Never sent a fax or even text message"
"I've never written a letter in my life. I write like a two year old and can't spell"
