“A key to the case, he said, was an expert witness”

“Laub told jurors that evidence in the case did not prove Brown set out to kill his child, but instead painted him as a lousy father and unlikable person. The prosecution of Brown, who was arrested in 2003, was propelled by an emotional reaction to the death of a young child, he said.”

That’s it, that’s all it takes. Just personal opinion,
impression and a possibly trumped up motive is all it takes to get a first degree murder conviction. They had more
evidence with OJ.

No evidence, witnesses or confession just the jury’s emotions.
The guy probably did it but it could have been an
accident as well. No one really knows but him, that’s it.
Honestly either there is more evidence or they were driven
to convict someone no matter what.

Set all the emotions aside and there is very little to
go on. He should get an appeal. This just don’t sound right.

Yep - frightening that such testimony could result in a guilty verdict - the system requires proof beyond reasonable doubt and is supposed to be based on the premise that it’s better to let 100 guilty off the hook than to convict one innocent. How things have changed ....
