The states case is far from a knockout.
The evidence will be torn apart on the stand,as will be most of the witnesses.
JMO of course
Opinion respected-But I believe the harder the defense pushes the witnesses, particularly KC's friends, the worse off they will be. AH, for example, is a much more sympathetic character than KC. I am writing this from a perspective of not knowing anything about either one of them except from what I heard in the interviews-KC lied, AH has not been proven to have lied, nor has KC or the defense (yet) accused her of lying. None of AH's friends discredited her or had a bad word to say about AH.-So AH tops that totem pole
for now.
Remember, the jury is just like us at WS-They are going into the case like we went into it back in July, 2008. Any of the factual stuff you read here (not the opinions, which are clearly marked as opinions most of the time) is based on released documents, and the jury will be provided with this same information. On it's face, the evidence has been damning for KC-And I don't mean what NG or KB say, I mean on the face of what I read in the doc releases.
The defense has yet to release any discovery of value to their scenario. JB even backed off the RK thing when speaking with the media. If they would give me something to believe in, I might feel the way you do.
BTW, as a person who was in KC's exact situation only a few years ago (a pregnant 19 year old, then a young, frustrated & minimum wage mother), I did not jump the gun in my judgements. I had hoped that KC was strong enough to beat the overwhelming frustration and that maybe an accident occured and she was scared. I prefer to see the inherent good in people.
With the above written, I would say that the jury are humans, not robots-They will develop opinions as to what happened as readily as we have here. Some will feel the way you do, but I believe most will not. People make inferences, they just do. KC herself has given us quite a bit that supports those inferences
We'll see if these docs have to do with an investigation of RK-When the defense was blaming JG, the state revealed their investigation into him shortly thereafter.
