It's a good thing I keep my nose clean, because I've lost a lot of faith in the system.

You aren't a rich celebrity and reside in CA do you? If not, you'd probably get convicted.

I'm glad to hear you're immune to being falsely accused. What's your secret?

[Lawgvr1955]

I haven't lost faith in the system. Of course, I have the advantage of seeing it in practice everyday while many others don't.

For 14 years I prosecuted murder, dope, theft and sex cases. I never lost a jury sex crime, either a violent act of rape or a child molestation case. So I am confident they can be won before a jury if the evidence is there.

While I do defense work now, I do not take any sex crime cases. Having spent most of my professional life prosecuting cases on behalf of raped women and molested children, I don't have the emotional energy left to represent a person accused of a sex crime. I wouldn't care if it was my brother and I knew he was innocent, I just don't have it in me.

In this case, I can believe that Jackson was guilty. Did the government prove he was guilty? Apparently not. (From what I heard of the evidence, the case sounded weak to me). But I still believe that juries find the right answer, "Did the State prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt?".

If the DA has other cases, I can't understand why he didn't bring one of them instead. Admitted perjurors DO NOT make believable witnesses.
