However, the glove did not fit...reasonable doubt ...

and tainted evidence, and the defense convinced the jury that the evidence was planted.....

it's not a perfect system, but it's better than alot of other countries have. I believe that Westerfield will be found guilty by a jury that is ruled by it's emotions, not by evidence or fact. He should be considered innocent until proven guilty, but in this touchy-feely society we live in, he was convicted the minute someone pointed at "the creepy neighbor" and the media got wind of it. And those are the things that scare me to death.

Would you have found OJ not guilty because he acted like the glove didn't fit...when actually the glove was immersed in water and shrunk, and as bad as an actor as he is, he was able to act himself out of that...but I believe that jury was a bunch of ignorant people...plus this jury knew what they were going to do...they even had a party the night before the verdict...the trial was a sham....

As far as Westerfield, there's alot more evidence then meets the eye....anyone can rip apart any piece of evidence, especially since OJ...Cochran made a sham of forensics...yes there were mistakes, but they planted no evidence...MARK MY WORDS CAPPS..

You seem like a lovely person....I hope every juror would be as fair and open minded as you....

A BIG BUMP. What you said cannot be said enough to make me happy. It is an unfortunate truth.

This is similar to my own prediction several weeks ago. I'd only add, that after reading some of the postings on these threads, there may be several who would actually get off on watching an innocent man put to death.
