Please back off a little. Howlin has been one of the strongest Freepers on this case since day 1 back in March. There is no one who knows these people, this case or the legal ramifications and nuances as well as Howlin. You raise some good points but the Brodhead insult aimed at Howlin was out of line.
Innocent people should not go on trial to prove their innocence. Furhtemore, it's impossible. There is no option of "innocent." Our trial system is not there to prove anyone innocent.
