Translation:
I do not need to be bothered with facts. I only need to believe what the media talking heads tell me to believe. Baaaaaaa! Baaaaaaaaaaa!
To: twigs
I wasn't trying to argue the case. Just making an observation about a statement that said that the fact that the parents were swingers is automatic reasonable doubt. That in and of itself is just one fact of many, which can only be looked at in their entirety before it can be determined whether there is reasonable doubt.
I have my opinions about this specific case, but since I'm not a member of the jury, I will keep them to myself.

I agree, and I am female. Around the H2O cooler at work I have overheard stunning denial about DW's guilt, mostly under the "he looks like a nice guy" and "the parent's got what they deserved" heading. All from women, the men wanted to fry him.
To: marajade
Thanks for trying. But the tinfoil on the hats these people are wearing is greating a great glare in the post. I'm otta here. All that's left here are tumbleweeds of conspiracy theorists who can prove through use of their clever, clever minds how innocent Westerfield is.

If you can't get a conviction with blood, hair, and fingerprints as a prosecutor you shouldn't be trying cases in court on behalf of the state...
To: lawdude
If you did set on the jury Don't you mean "sit"? Are you sure you're a lawyer?

Me too... If they discount you because of the "words" you choose to use in an information forum forget it...
To: homeschool mama
Regardless of your stand, irregardless is a blunder of a word. I agree with you. I was making a joke. I hate it when slang becomes interchangeable with proper grammar. I recommend the book "Dumbth" by Steve Allen for a broader treatise on the dumbing down of America.
To: homeschool mama
Fine, I'll give you that. But some of them are very new -- like yesterday -- and one said he was a criminal defense attorney. So I remain suspcious of some of these new names suddenly popping up to defend Westerfield, that's all I'm saying. But if you've been around, hey, you're entitled to your opinion, as you probably well know. ;)
To: southern rock
I'll bet they are too. Something to think about, all you "swinging" parents out there.LOL. Me? A swinger? Oh puh-lease. You make a blanket statement that the fact that the parents are swingers is automatic reasonable doubt, without taking the DNA evidence into account, and because I point out your overly simplistic statement, that makes me a swinger?

Actually many of us have followed the trial. We've listened to ALL of the testimony and read the transcripts. I hardly think that makes us uninformed.

oops information should be informal
To: All
I believe all the high profile cases of missing children in the media lately had a big a big impact on the verdict.
To: TrappedInLiberalHell
LOL...:o)
To: TankerKC
Yes, you are missing something. In this case it had to be 12 for guilty or not guilty otherwise the jury is 'hung' which means either the prosecution can try to work out a deal, drop the charges or retry him.
To: FreeTheHostages
Thank you for explaining further. Much appreciated. :o)
