As a juror I based my decision on witness accounts and was right to send a POS to prison.
As a FReeper I am basing my non-binding opinion on witness accounts, physical evidence and logic.
In neither circumstance was it based on “wishes” or belief in unicorns crapping Skittles.
What evidence? This is a third hand account in a blog.
I find this, from Austin, interesting.

An officer who was fired last year after investigators said he used excessive force on a man with mental retardation has won his job back.
An arbitrator overturned the firing, saying officer Gary Griffi More..n “did momentarily cross the line into the use of excessive force” in the July 1, 2006, incident at a bus stop on East Seventh Street, where he tried to wake Joseph Cruz, 24.
“However, these few blows, although patently unnecessary, were never proven to be anything more sinister than gross negligence,” Don Hays said in a ruling released Thursday. “There is absolutely no evidence in our record that officer Griffin’s reactions were ever motivated by any malice or bias.”
Wait a minute here. Are you saying Unicorns dont crap Skittles?
Wow. I am gonna need a moment here, my world is upside down!
