Many's the time I posted that the jury was shown still photos of children, the animes that some focus on, and in addition to those items, the jury saw real video of real young girls being assaulted.

Unfortunately the word "anime" gets mentioned and some want to say "See, all he had were cartoons".

P.S. General point of fact: The son's computer was a hand-me-down from his dad. No internet access in the son's room. Additional fact: The son did admit to porn surfing conducted in his dad's office. Not the illegal stuff, though. The evidence shows it was his dad's, however, and the jury found it to be so.

Hey, cyn! I've been watching the evening news shows (Larry King, Hannity & Colmes, etc) A lot of them seem to think that for the penalty phase DW might admit he did it. That goes back to something I found interesting at the time of the jury instructions, although no one seemed to be talking about it -- Feldy got the court to give a voluntary intoxication defense. In essence, that was asking for the jury either to find that he didn't do it, or, if he did do it, he was drunk. So, I wonder if his defense at the penalty phase will be yes, I did it, but it was an accident, I was so drunk I didn't know what I was doing, I got scared and dumped the body, etc. Now IF that happens, do you suppose anybody in the smokey room will change their views? I'm betting they are so far gone that it wouldn't.
