I agree with you. We have been hearing about how uncredable the witnesses against Jackson have been all through this and people are stunned. People here should be the first to say that you are innocent until proven guilty. That is what the American justice system is all about. No one here sat on the jury. They just want to convict someone just because it is a terrible crime he was accused of and they want to see Jackson go down no matter if he is guilty or not. I have seen this mentality around here too much. No one can even claim the jury decision was race biased because all the jurors were white. There are a lot of people here that I would not want to sit on a jury.
From what I have been hearing the prosecutor has been putting forth all kinds of frivolous material that has cost both sides a lot of money. One example was putting a boy on the stand as a victim who then said that he was not only a victim, but that he was never even asked by the prosecution if he was a victim before being put on the stand. For crap like that the prosecutor should be sued because that purely shows that he was not interested in the truth, but only in the win. And that is unethical. The prosecutor should be barred from practicing law for doing something like that.

Correction:
