I have no doubt the fix is in. This scumbag judge is doing a highwire act trying to look "fair" even as she does everything in her power to assist the state. I'm betting the texts are out, and I'm betting the bogus "expert" testimony that the thug Martin was the one yelling for help is left unscathed.
In cases such as that, often the ex-jurors end up making a public stink about what an artificial picture they were fed.
But in cases like this where Hell seems to run rampant, remember this is a Hell composed of devils that God keeps on short chains. God lets it happen (for one thing) to show us This Is A Problem Bigger Than Mortals.
