    Yeah, the lawyer did a great job creating “reasonable doubt.” I think if we want a justice system that defaults toward innocence, we have to be willing to let a murderer out on the streets for every 100 innocents who also walk. I’d rather have that result than jailing 100 innocents so we can catch the one murderer.

      I really don’t think the doubt was reasonable. At least I’m 100% certain he was guilty and was ever since I watched the car chase. The cops fucking up the investigation has no impact on what I saw with my own eyes.

      An innocent rich man doesn’t fucking run away from the cops and have to be talked out of suicide to face trial. No fucking way.

          Reasonable doubt is a question for the jury, which requires no legal experience at all. Don’t you feel silly?

            You may need to retake criminal law.

              I like to smoke whatever it is you’re smoking, cause you’re dense. A jury requires no criminal law expertise to come to that conclusion.
