That is B.S. We have the full testimony online. We have photos taken at the scene. We have weather reports. And I did something the jury did not do. I went to the ditch. I drove the path. I measured the dimensions of the ditch. So to say that we do not have the right to analyze the data for ourselves is an arrogant limitation you may place on yourself, but I'm not limited by your credulity. Juries make mistakes. I am sure that this one did. I have presented the reasons why I think so.
We all have the transcript of the trial, but it's impossible to tell whether the person testifying is speaking, scowling, fidgeting, or picking his nose. To suggest that it doesn't matter (or ignore it) is arrogance.
And incidentally, if you had been a member of that jury and visited the scene (without permission) you would have been summarily removed from the deliberation. (Not trying to change the subject).
