"...you people who think Westerfield is innocent are serious aren't you?"

There is a huge difference between innocent and the prosecutor's failure to PROVE guilty!

It is called reasonable doubt.

As a defense attorney, I find it interesting that people who have no first hand knowledge of the information produced at trial, can make a pronouncement of "guilty".

I don't know the trial evidence and how it was presented so I cannot comment. I DO believe he did it but my beliefs and the facts may be a long way apart.

In any event, the jury has spoken.

Forget the forensic bug people, the character assassinations and other smokescreens. Her blood was on his jacket. End of story. Next case. I suppose that's difficult for a defense attorney to understand.
