I sometimes think that if Snedden erred at all, it was in not producing a witness who would talk about the pattern of child molesters--how they are groomed, what kind of children they normally choose, and so on. Such experts have appeared on interview shows, but to my knowledge (I might have missed it), none appeared to testify in court. Jackson followed every step listed by these experts.

Yes, I agree with you. Sneddon definitely made some big mistakes, and that was one. Excellent point. Juries really do need to be educated, although this group of clowns may have been really uneducable. Truly, most of the jurors I've heard come across as absolutely cretinous.

Jackson has followed the predator manual step by step. He's a classic, text book case of a successful child molester.

Do you mean to say that this prosecutor actually put on a case WITHOUT expert testimony on child abuse patterns and chld abuse accommodation syndrome?

Really?

Then this prosecutor is an idiot, and it's no wonder he lost the case.
