Why don't we forget what's past and move from this point forward. Remember - those who smelled something bad from the beginning turned out to be right. Forget the old "circumstantial evidence" bit. There have been a lot of life and death sentences both based on just such. His circumstantial evidence has piled up to a mountain's worth...
The testimony about the smell in the car (which I expected) didn't catch your ear? I'm not sure why you're doggedly defending this guy. Right now, he's trailing 25-0 with five minutes left, and your "bunch of circumstantial evidence" is very puzzling to a lawyer...
Good point. At some point, you just can't explain all of it away. That "you said too much" caught my ear and the jury will hear it. It's practically a confession in itself...
, poke a few holes and, as posted above, try to nail the prosecution to their stories. I thought the prosecution did a great job. They went out on no limbs. They were very cagey and didn't state nearly as much as they could - just enough to insure that he stayed in jail. Going to be interesting, if very distasteful. I cannot imagine a father researching what a "child-free" life would be like. I show you someone who should never have been a father...
Their early statements were extremely aggressive, so much so that I was a bit taken aback. I remember thinking that they were either incompetent or they'd discovered a smoking gun. Looks more and more like it's the latter. The cop was definitely sandbagging on the computer. I think they have a lot more there...
That at is a good idea. I like how my car has a sensor in the back. That knows if a person in the back seat is not wearing a seatbelt after they fasten it. Since you know how kids sometimes will take their seatbelts off. It let's out a ding and flashes a symbol for me.
Yeah I know that.
I'm not defending the guy. I think he's guilty. I was just pointing out things in reply to TideMom2Boys saying she hoped he doesn't get off like Casey Anthony. I hadn't really seen about the car smell. That's pretty damning. I think in a lot of these cases the prosecutors over charge and that is why people get off. IMO if they wanted jail time they should go for a lower charge.
I was actually waiting on the smell testimony and I expected the answer. You can be sure that it wasn't only the lieutenant and sergeant who caught that smell. I'm sure they made certain that a bunch of people smelled it. Yes, unless the defense has some amazing exculpatory evidence, people have been put to death with this amount of evidence. It all depends on the jury. That's always the wild card. Not many lawyers thought Anthony would get off either. Jury selection will be very interesting. Normally, in a murder case, you want to get as many women on as possible, because, generally, women are more prone to be merciful. However, this is a totally different case. Women may tend to be even harsher on a child murderer, and he has too much other stuff on him - if they can get it in - for him to be a sympathetic figure. If he ends up in general population, I give him five years life expectancy, tops...
