This side believed that there was some corruption involved. That there were external reasons, such as the DA's need to win the re-election bid, that caused such chicanery in this trial. This side believed that justice was being perverted and that members of Free Republic were in a fight to prevent this perversion.
A side that believed that the JUDGE should not be allowed to give TESTIMONY during a case. A side that believed that the term SHE IS DEAD, THEREFORE HE DID IT, is not the way our justice system should be run.
The other side seems to believe that it doesn't matter about the METHOD, only the RESULTS. The other side made a decision at the beginning based on what the media told them to believe and they have stuck with it no matter what. They got their RESULTS and that is all they are interested in.
Now they are cheefully being massaged by the media , ensuring them that all is right in the world, and the BAD guy really is the bad guy, and he is behind bars. Go back to sleep, nothing to worry about.
This case had nothing to do with loss of your freedoms. The precedents set will never be used against you. Our justice system is not being eroded. Go back to sleep.
