They didn't prove murder

Cute kid. Tragic.

I have mostly tried to turn the channel, or click to another webpage, whenever this trial came up, but it became inescapable, unavoidable.

I obsessively vidtaped (ah, the good old days) CourtTV and with much fast-forwarding of the empty time I watched the entire prosecution portion of the O.J. Simpson trial. I didn't bother watching the defense, though, because I had already seen the prosecution fail, and I already knew what the outcome would be, and I believe the jury in the Simpson murder case made the right decision. The prosecution was lame, incompetent, a total waste of time and money. The trial was a circus. Ugly truths of our terrible system were exposed. But mainly, when the government fails to prove its case, that's all there is to it. Remember, the verdict is not "innocent," but "not guilty."

Ways this was like the OJ Simpson trial:
Spectacular pre-trial and during-trial publicity that primarily declares guilt by media.
Prosecution evidence is primarily circumstantial and unconvincingly presented.
Unsympathetic and arrogant prosecutors (so I've heard).
A jury that does its duty.
A public that is shocked, shocked! to find out the verdict is not-guilty and will always believe justice was not done, which may be true in fact, but justice was done in law.

I'm not a lawyer, but Our Leader Mark Levin is and agrees the jury did the right thing because "THEY DIDN"T PROVE MURDER."

Levin on The Hot Joints: "...wasn't even a circumstantial case..." "...shot too high for first-degree..."

Levin also discussed it on his own show on Tuesday. From the description of the show: "There was not nearly enough evidence to convict... The prosecution never proved that she murdered her daughter, or that she had the intent of doing it either.,,,"

Our criminal justice system is a mess from top to bottom. Out-of-control and incompetent prosecutors are a big part of that mess.

Now, my commently duty done here, I'm getting back to my life.
