You know I've always been the idealistic type, and I hate that I'm becoming so disillusioned about some things (like trusting the police), but like many have said, this could happen to any one of us if the circumstances were right.
As far as I'm concerned, politics played a part in this case, and it's so sad. If DW is convicted, I will accept it, but I will always believe that if LE (and Judge Mudd for that matter)had been more fair and objective, things would have been vastly different.
Corrupt LE is a bit like terrorism. If I were a single man, like some have posted here, I would watch what I do very carefully.
Yep.....and add a pending election where a popularity-declining DA is running opposed for the first time and you have a formula for just about anything.
Politics grips stronger than most anything in the hearts of those that seek its intrinsic power.
You've just hit the nail on why I feel so strongly about not convicting him. God forbid anything happen to the 7 year old girl behind my house, and playmate of my 8 year old daughter..., but:
If something did happen, I would have trace evidence all over my house. If it happened a weekend my wife was in SD visiting family, I would have no allibi for many hours. If my computer had some pop ups that stayed in the cache, suddenly, I'm a porn freak and child ______. (I don't even look at adult women porn deliberatly, I think it is sin.) It does'nt take much imagination on my part to see myself in court, innocent, fighting for my life and having even those closest to me wodering if "I am really the guy they THOUGHT they knew".
This just gives me the willies, along with so many people on these threads that seem to think "If the cops arrested you, you must guilty" or making statements that seem to think Kangaroo Courts are OK, depending on the accusation.
