I always thought he was guilty, but I heard a rundown recently, and he probably should get a new trial.
OK, to be clear, his conviction was affirmed. Only his sentence was thrown out and remanded for a new penalty phase hearing.
Yeah me too. Total scumbag, but little evidence he committed a murder.
I would say he is guilty, but since it was circumstantial I would have given him life. California spends a fortune on death row inmates and never executes them anyway.
“and he probably should get a new trial”
He was guilty. Everybody KNEW he was guilty.
However, the state, in no way proved that in court.
The only question remaining is, where does justice lay?
I think a new trial may be warranted. And I think the risk of him going free is worth the preservation of legal process.
But it will never, ever happen.
Because everyone knows he is guilty.
