I'm with Stain and Clown on this one. My wife called me from work, all in a tizzy over this verdict, and all I could tell her was that "justice has been served". By saying that, I am not condoning what she may or may not have done........I am saying that here in the U.S. we have a system of justice that says we are ALL innocent until proven guilty. That is a very tough thing to accept and also something that should be thought about by all.
There were really only 2 outcomes that could happen here.......1) The prosecution (and investigative team) find and deliver to the courts enough evidence to convict.......or 2) The prosecution (and investigative team) do not find and deliver to the courts enough evidence to convict. It seems like a joke to say "those are your options".........but well.......Those are your options, and that is the way it works.
It is really no difference in the outcome of the trial, just as we seen in the O.J. Simpson trial, the public had convicted that girl (same as O.J.) way before the trial had even started and the publics "GUILTY" verdict will stand far longer than any sentence gave by a courtroom judge or jury. It will follow her the rest of her life. It may very well be bad to be locked up for 25 years, but at least in prison you are around like minded people who may even relate to your story of events. I think it would be far worse to live freely in public, where everyone stares, points and whispers everytime you walk into a room. All job oppertunities lost to speculations and rumor. Never leaving the house without the fear that some vigilanty will act on his own guilty verdict.
I personally think they will only find more charges to press against her, take her to court on those things and find her guilty. That is the same thing that was done to O.J. Simpson. He was found "Not Guilty" on criminal counts of murder...........but later was found "Guilty" in the civil case. It makes no difference to them how they get you to prison..............if they really want you in prison, one day you will go.
