Consider qualifications and believability of expert witnesses when their opinions differ.

[VRWC_minion]

Reasonable doubt is not a mere possible doubt.

[shezza]

(That's about par, bass!)

[the-gooroo]

I'd like to know who she's playing "hide the sausage" with over there at CTV. In all seriousness, she's one of the dumbest people I've ever seen as a TV anchorperson. There's nothing more disgusting as a middle aged woman trying to act "cute".

[shezza]

Defendent is assumed to be innocent until guilt is proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Counts 2 & 3, kidnapping of child under 14 and porn under 18, requires general criminal intent.

Count 1: Murder. Must contain specific intent in mind of perpetrator. Unless specific intent is present, the crime is not true. (???)

[shezza]

Special circumstance: "Murder of DVD was committed by DAW while said defendent was engaged in crime of kidnapping." People have burden of proving the truth of this special circumstance. If you have a reasonable doubt that this has been proven, you must not convict.

I think it was at Cheerleader U. Pompoms, flips and occasionally a look at lawbooks.

LOL! Maybe this was her cheer: "Fiddly faddly fuss. We're not allowed to cuss. But Damn it to hell. We might as well. They're beating the sh*t out of us."

[Lucky]

What a mush mush of instructions in #120. They are simply not facts unless there is proof. No proof, then it is not a fact.

[Krodg]

Sheeza, just wanted to let you know you do a great job!

[fatima]

Prayer bump.

[shezza]

Special circumstance must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt...before an inference may be considered to be true, each theory upon which that inference rests must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. If there are two reasonable interpretations, must be considered to point toward innocence. If one interpretation is reasonable and one is unreasonable, must accept interpretation which is reasonable.

[clearvision]

I think he also said that murder1 during a kidnapping did not require intent....

[shezza]

Penalty or punishment must not be discussed or considered.

[It's me]

In order to get a fair trial we should think the murder of Danielle is kinda cool and deserving ?

---

What a stupid thing to say.

[gigi]

Hey, I used to work for Regis!! LOL!

[shezza]

Muchas gracias. Fuzzy feed.

[Unknown Freeper]

Is there a pool for how long it will take the jury to reach a verdict?

[shezza]

Kidnapping is more than a slight or trivial distance...must consider distance, movement, whether movement increased harm or decreased likelihood of intention, reduced likelihood of escape...

Must be proved: person was restrained; movement was without person's consent; movement was considerable distance; movement commenced when person was still alive.

[winodog]

Also if the low is 30 or 32 degrees the insides of a body will freeze

That should read will not freeze unless the temp remains for a long period of time. In other words at least 24 hours.
