I happen to agree with you.
I think she was probably guilty, but not beyond a reasonable doubt.
The constitutional restraints on government, and the burden it must meet to deprive a person if liberty is intentionally high.
In a world where government power seems nearly endless, it is comforting to know they can’t just lock us up and send us off to camps on a whim like is done in so many countries.
I think the right to trial by jury, right to counsel and confrontation preserve freedoms for us in ways that we have come to take for granted.
These principles are more important than any one case.
Ms. Anthony will get hers in the end. God is not bound by Double Jeapardy.

Very articulate response!

“God is not bound by Double Jeapardy”.

If I am ever (God forbid) unjustly charged, I want ALL the protections...I do not trust the government, nor do I trust mob rule highlighted by our illustrious, hysterical media.

I rather trust a jury of citizens rather than a “professional jury” as some suggest..we already have a professional jury with Obama Care.
