[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;30957800]extremely strong circumstantial evidence.[/QUOTE] Sounds like an oxymoron to me.
[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;30957800]"Armchair X" has meant "person who attempts to be an X but fails by way of being an amateur" since before WWII. It is an appeal to authority when used as a pejorative in relationship to any issue. What's more, what you just said is actually an appeal to authority anyway. Might help if you knew [url=https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Argument_from_authority]what shit meant[/url] [URL="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/authority"]before you posted.[/URL] To throw something directly on topic, I heard an interesting tirade from a federal prosecutor who was surprised at the outcome, because they thought the case had extremely strong circumstantial evidence.[/QUOTE] Thank's for that link. [quote]Source A says that p is true. Source A is authoritative. Therefore, p is true.[/quote] Not once have I claimed that the jury was more right than you are due to their authoritative nature. It is not an appeal to authority.
Be nice to your mom, apparently its legal to kill your kids.
[QUOTE=Dwatring;31000793]Be nice to your mom, apparently its legal to kill your kids.[/QUOTE] yes and it's also legal to have absolutely no understanding of how the american justice system works
This is fucking sickening. No wonder the west, specifically America, is so fucking unintelligent. A cute white mother possibly kills her child and the media goes crazy over it, Meanwhile, hundreds of directly similar cases happen in ghetto poverty-riden neighborhoods, but with ethnic mothers as the ones guilty, two wars we cannot pay for are still happening, the economy goes into the shitter, our police agencies are unfairly targeting minorities to shove into our low quality for-profit prison system, And we have political leaders trying to enforce discrimination into the constitution. This is shameful, and I, for one, now understand why the world hates the US so much.. Have an accurate comparison of US news vs. a little news agency in Qatar. [img]http://i.imgur.com/26nph.jpg[/img]

Find it a bit ridiculous how she waited a month to report her child missing, but too bad that isn't backbone evidence to the case to prove she committed the murder.

Justice has been served.
[QUOTE=DanRatherman;30957787]This outcome pleases me to no end. The entire trial was a massive seemingly never-ending clusterfuck that I had to watch every time I passed through my living room, passed a TV in a store, or ate in a restaurant dumb enough to have the TVs set to a news network. The whole thing was a a publicized abomination of concerned soccer moms and judgmental fuck-knobs acting like they had qualifications to decide if another person lived or died. They disregarded the lack of evidence to emotionally and financially destroy a person who hadn't been found guilty of anything. That the bastards never got the satisfaction of seeing their sense of self-entitled justice and revenge come to fruition is the highlight of my week. Addendum: The nature of the case was quite tragic, and nobody likes to hear about a dead child. I do have some notion that she was somehow involved in the death, at least in complacency with hiding the body; but that isn't why I'm happy. My opinion is purely one of seeing people who spent years castigating a dead girls mother for a crime she hadn't even been convicted left without their sick gratification in seeing others imprisoned or executed.[/QUOTE] And what if she had been found guilty? The only thing you can fault people for is having an opinion on whether she's guilty or not based only on the evidence they know of, it's not liking some random person outside the trial affects the outcome. It's human nature to want to see people pay pay for their crimes, and you post oozes more self-righteousness than than the entire media circus combined. Maybe it's wrong to form an opinion before the verdict, but if you're happy that people get to experience what they see as someone getting away with murder, you're the sick one.
If any of you have Investigation Discovery on your television, tune into it at 9:00 PM EST on Monday. They are covering the entire thing.
