I’m through talking to you people. Obviously we did not watch the same trial.

Oh come now, it is not the end of the world. If you are so enthralled in this case that it causes you to feel that way you should not have followed the case at all.

If you are correct it still does not change that the jury system, as imperfect as it is, is still a far sight better than other systems. It remains a system that protects innocent people wrongly accused even if that means some guilty ones go free.

yeah it’s only the murder of a little girl. no biggie. It’s not as if they acquitted al-Ghailani of 224 counts of murder. So yes there are even dumber juries.

No, sometimes the innocent are punished while the guilty go free.
