CTV is saying that this testimony doesn't matter because the files were so organized that the DA still believes they belonged to DW. I can now say I've seen a brain dead person speak.

Oh my gosh! We don't care that the evidence shows it was his son doing the downloading, it's still HIS porn! Unbelievable.

No thinking adult should go without reading, the most excellent book written by Charles MacKay in 1841, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds"

"Il est bon de connaitre les delires de l'esprit humain. Chaque people a ses folies plus ou moins grossieres." - MILLOT

In reading the history of nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities; their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.
