How is Mechele being tried in a court of law an injustice to her?
Websleuths is victim-friendly forum.
I will add that saying negative things about leppink has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he was MURDERED. we are all in agreement he was murdered, right? it has no more to do with his personality than linehan's would if she'd been the one turned up murdered. and I myself, I cant speak for anyone else here but I suspect I am not alone, would be right here defending HER if it was her shot dead in the woods and not leppink.
of couse, were the tables turned no one would hesitate, with this SAME evidence, of convicting leppink had he been the one to be responsible for linehan's death. after all, he was just the nerdy taxidermist from tennessee, eh?
the fact is, whether we like it or not, the fact the linehan is not black, fat, or poor makes it exceeding unlikely she ever WOULD be convicted, you see it in courtrooms all the time. people think criminals are either men, esp men with the above characteristics, or women with those characteristics.
the fact that one jury found her guilty even though she is female, white, not fat, and not poor speaks for the strength of the evidence - the fact that another may find her also guilty speaks further. if they dont, well....thin white women walk off with nothing or next to nothing all the time.
and I also think it's a shame that more evidence isnt before us, the flights and whatnot. I truly hope they televise the next trial if indeed there is one. I would very much like to know all the evidence, because of course, my opinion is only based on what I know.
as one of her "enemies" you may not realise, that for kent leppink, I wish it wasnt her, wasnt someone he loved or a friend of his. that's a terrible thing to know before one's death. for him, I think it would be fan-freaking-tastic if it turned out that it was no one he knew. however the evidence I have seen shows much to the contrary.
I will add that saying negative things about leppink has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he was MURDERED. we are all in agreement he was murdered, right?
"I knew Kent Leppink on a business level. I did not know John Carlin III or Mechele. Kent Leppink was a well spoken, mild mannered, very polite, gentleman, from a very respectable, fine family. He was a tall, good-looking guy, with a nice smile and very pretty eyes." 5/3/2010 ADNews commenter: ReaderSpeak
As far as I can tell by the style of writing ReaderSpeak used, he is a man. If somebody wants to make a big deal about the defense in the first trial positing that Kent was a homosexual, consider this comment.
Could Kent have been killed because somebody didn't like that he was homosexual?
From the Rules Etiquette & Information
"Posting Links / URLs / Email Addresses:
While we prefer that all content be posted in the forums themselves (unless it is a copyright violation to do so) so our members will always be able to access it, we realize that some information must remain on remote sites as it may be too extensive to re-post. Posting links/URL’s in the WS forums is allowed as long as they substantiate a post, or are summarized. Don’t post links with a comment such as, 'Check out this link'. Let members know what the link is about, rather than surprising them with it."
This is as close to something about the use of links I could find. I know from reading the rules that I cannot say just anything I want to, but there is no requirement to use links and there is no 10% limit on how many can be used. I'm indicating my sources to show I'm not making stuff up.
