It's the "clear and convincing" evidence that I want to hear. So far, we've convicted him only on the perception he is guilty. But, we need to know what the forensics showed. We need solid proof, which I am assuming they must have. Sure, I think Scott is guilty, but it's not enough for me to be comfortable to send him to the gas chamber.
Then, we have the tainted Jury problem. I'm not suggesting that Scott isn't guilty, just saying that the Jury will be under public pressure to convict him, especially if they aren't sequestered and go home every night and turn on their TV.
The jury MUST be sequestered for Scott to get a fair trial. In any high profile case, where the accused is already convicted by the public, the Jury should always be sequestered, IMHO. Notice there hasn't been any mention of this so far?
But for now, Scott is locked up in a 6 by 9 cell and off the streets. Robert Blake almost lost it from the isolation. Sometimes being caged like an animal is a fate worse than death.
