Judge: “How do you plead?” Accused: ”Innocent, your honor.” Judge:

The defense will trust whatever they think their best chance for a successful defense is.

I agree. That’s where we disagree. That’s right. The system is broken. Ten minutes, with a five minute break. Someone’s tax dollars at work. I don’t see any reason to be concerned about that. That’s the way the system works.

If he has the media behind him then his defense team should use it to their benefit.

That’s right. If I was in his shoes and they didn’t, the family should ask the judge to replace the defense team. The only risk of a firestorm now is a hung jury or a brawl over execution or incarceration.

They should. He has sympathetic and unsympathetic peers. It’s just a circus show now.

With the problem of selecting an impartial jury already being immense, what are the chances that an impaneled jury will recommend the death penalty even if they do return a guilty verdict? Should justice depend on the political environment? Will it?

Criminals negotiating with the justice system is allowed by the justice system. What could be possibly go wrong with that? Cases where the evidence is overwhelming are commonly negotiated. Justice in man’s court is whatever the deal allows, if a deal is agreed to. Murder a man in a state...

Have you ever been summoned for jury duty? That would come out in the jury selection process. Justice for the murdered wife was given by the investigators as the reason for why the cold case was never closed. The family has gotten all the justice they’re going to get in man’s court of justice...
