Didn’t he confess? oh well. I guess the jury are the only ones that heard everything and they made the wisest decision possible with their superior intelligence and wits/
yeah, I know. But i’s better than a dictatorship.
11 of the jurors thought he was guilty.
He did, but sometimes confessions are coerced by the police, or manipulated out of mentally-troubled people. (Some of the recent cases where convicted people were freed because of DNA evidence involved confessions that turned out to be untrue.) Aside from the confession, there was zero evidence against this guy-- no physical evidence, no witnesses. Had I been on that jury, I might have voted to convict, but I would have thought long and hard about it first.
Yes, he did confess. He’s a nut. The family knows who the real murderer is - he’s been serving time for years. The jury did the right thing.
