Not "painful" for me. I've relished every minute of it.

When you asked them some honest questions, without first uttering the holy mantra "David is innocent, and God will avenge him!" you were attacked mercilessly.

They began to descend into a sort of shorthand in their conversations that took them further and further out of the realm of reality and into their own little universe "through the looking glass."

No, these weren't "long-standing respectable Freepers," it was the same bunch of conspiracy mongers and navel-gazers that we're only able to rid ourselves of when something hit the fan, like Buchanan pulling 0.4% of the popular vote (we were relieved of the burden of a great number of really nasty Brigadiers at that time).

I have enjoyed none of it, and my only reason for joining this fracus, was the weak case the prosecution presented. This is made much worse, by the fact that they knew he was guilty, without a doubt, and yet they came up with such a weak case.

Why was this evidence not presented to the Jury after the conviction, we could have saved a few tax dollars, there would have been little left to debate in the penalty phase.

For the information of all this who participated in this lengthy forum, I hope the healing of relationships can now happen. I never had enough evidence presented to me to convict this man, and probably would have held out for an aquittal.

And I would have been outraged at the prosecution's inability to present a better case, knowing that the man tried to confess. As a matter if fact I would rather have a full disclosure of the whole sordid mess, than the death penalty verdict.

That would have saved the taxpayer a bundle, and probably salvage some relationships on this board.

May God have mercy on his soul.
