Well, I guess go on with your blame then, I will place mine where it should be without emotional outbursts to cloud my judgement.
How is my judgement is cloudy? I tried to explain why I thought the jury was wrong, and my opinion is based on what I've heard a couple of them say about how and why they arrived at their verdict.
Yeah, this topic gets me goin' real quick, but I was only trying to express that it's beyond my comprehension how anyone could look to those circumstances of death and see anything, but homicide.
The jury apparently believed that manner of death could have been accidental drowning when there was/is absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever, nor did it support manner of death. It was entirely inconsistent with manner.
Where did they get that notion? Well, they apparently considered what the defense attorney told them, which is never to be considered as evidence.
Now, no one on earth could say conclusively what the cause of death was in this case, but we know that duct tape was attached to the face before the body decomposed...and there's other supporting evidence to indicate a suffocation type cause, but regardless of all that- and all other incriminating evidence... we look to the manner of death and should see that whatever the cause- indeed, no matter the cause, the manner was homicide.
The bottom line is, the circumstances of death tell us it was a homicide. Period.
The jury chose to believe some convoluted notion over blatant facts of circumstances, circumstances so obvious that it will always blow my mind.
