It’s a circumstantial case! I’m absolutely sick of your kind of excuse! Circumstantial means you HAVE to use Common Sense, if that even exists in this country any longer! It doesn’t mean you have to have prove what happened. I’m so pissed off with views like yours. There was a preponderance of circumstanlial evidense in this case, much, much, more than the evidense that sent Scott Peterson to death row.
Democrats from Pinellas County have no common sense. Wow. We should have known this was gonna happpen from the beginning. From when they picked a juror who “could not judge”. What?????
You mean like who is the best salesmen in the courtroom and can sway the jury to agree with your case? PROOF, WHO NEEDS PROOF? I THINK IT THEREFORE I AM!
That is how you want people convicted?
Hey, hehe, that SOB looks guilty as **** lets throw him in the slammer!!! Yeah, that's the ticket.
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt???? WTF is that???
We don't need that stinking Constitution when it fits MY needs and opinions.
So now common sense is the standard for convictions.......right on FReeper!!
Well, from that, we can conclude that you, Alissa, don't really believe that following the law is important.
And what a splendid way of saving money....let's just get rid of that "innocent until proven guilty" principle!
There was a preponderance of circumstanlial evidense in this case, [...]
Fine.
That will get you a Grand Jury indictment, or a family court judgement.
But this was a criminal trial. The standard of evidence is above "preponderance of the evidence"...and it's even beyond "clear and convincing evidence" or "Clear, Unequivocal, Satisfactory, and Convincing Evidence", etc.
Those are lower standards than what the law (oh, that pesky "law" thing again!) prescribes for this criminal trial, where a person's liberty (and even life) is at stake.
Circumstantial evidence is fine and common sense is fine, just like evaluating veracity of witnesses is fine. But the highest standard of proof is still required--throughout this great land of America...state to state, even in Florida.
