ONE JUDGE should NEVER be allowed to sentence an innocent disabled woman on heresay evidence.

I couldn't agree more, except with one exception. The law should state that NO judge should be allowed to do this. A jury trial should be required, and if there is a hung jury, the person should live.

You said it better than me - I was too narrowly focused on this one case, but you are right. There is so much wrong with this case, and a jury trial could be a solution so that this type of fiasco never happens again.
