And they will do everything to protect the informant if they were into dirty business with him. When anyone such as a judge, DA, or a cop says it 'appears' then you know they are full o' manure. What do you mean it appears? There was a local news woman at the scene and from what she observed she said there was NO way the body was there for an extended period of time. The body didn't look wet.
I am sure by now you have GOOGLED Liver Mortis ( Lividity ) and have corroborated what I wrote above. When the body is in a position for an extended period of time after death the blood goes to the lowest point, AND it doesn't go to the other side if the body is turned in the other direction. What flows to the new resting site is the blood that didn't yet make it to the first parts of the body.
He cleaned his car a day after the body was found. If he killed her he knew what he did and he would have not waited a day. In any event he didn't do too good a job of it because the cops said they found fibers. She had some serious head injuries. The ME said she died from strangulation and head trauma. You mean to say there was no blood in the car? Maybe there was no bleeding. You don't get rid of blood residue so easy.
We know an older drug gave her his mother's necklace and he wanted it back. We believe he threatened her life if she didn't give it back. I believe she met that person at the party she went to after she left CL.
You don't have to be a super detective to figure this out. All you need is some common sense and an open mind.
CL will be coming up for parole very soon. He will NOT get out if he doesn't admit he killed JM. The TUGELAS will jump all over that if it happens.
The DA's case was built on the premise CL raped and killed JM. The Court said there was no proof of a rape. I guess their consciences got the best of them and threw out the felony murder and rape charge thinking they were doing this guy a favor. BIG DEAL he still got 25 to Life. They should have thrown out the whole conviction and if they wanted to play safe they should have ordered a new trial.
At least 4 jurors heard CL allegedly had inappropriate sex with another female. The jurors were interviewed by the judge and they assured him it played no role in their vote to convict. Yeah, tell me another story. These SOBs do this all the time.
There was recently a SCPD cop wrongful death case in federal court. The judge calls a mistrial even before he picks a jury because it was learned a newspaper with the story was seen in the main jury room. 4 people tell the judge they heard something inflammatory about the defendant and the judge passes it off as NO BIG DEAL. The appellate court goes right along with this BS.
Do you really want these cops to investigate the Gilgo Case?
According to the evidence, the body was found at the high water mark, was covered by salt grasses (hence the reason your lawyer failed to notice the body) and appeared to have been washed over by the tide. Since the time of high tide was known, it established the latest point when the body was placed there, which would have been 2.10AM, give or take a few minutes. Your reporter (who would not have gotten close enough anyway) would not have seen a wet body since by the time she was found she would be mostly dry. The forensic evidence also showed that she had been dead and laid on her back for at least 30 minutes before being dumped. So, that would place time of death at earlier than 1.30AM. Also, the victim called the accused's mother at 12.15AM looking for him (for the second time, the first call had been at 11:45, so there was clearly an element of anxiousness on her part), which means that he had not arrived at her before that. Therefore we are talking about at most approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes (and most likely less since we don't know how much beyond 12:15 it took for him to find her) for him to reach her, have sex, and for her to wind up dead. Not to mention, evidence from her was found on a shirt in the car, and evidence from the floor of the car was found on her shirt. So, she was there. You say he had already dropped her off at the 7-11 before 1AM....so what was that? He drives for at least half an hour, has a few minutes of sex, then drops her off and goes home so he can be "accounted for" at around 1AM (presumably after another 30+ minute drive). Why around 1AM you might ask? Why is it so important to him?....probably because that is about when she died, and he was aware of that.
One hour and fifteen minutes, at most.
How stupid do you think judges are?
What got this guy convicted was not LE setting him up, it was the extremely short window during which he was the last person know to have seen her and her winding up dead. It is that simple. He tried to squirm his way out of it, but the time frame is what nailed him.
*edit* Oh, FYI, just because I disagree with you does not mean that "the TUGELAs will jump all over it if that happens". I think it is pretty clear that he is the perp, but, I doubt it was premeditated, more likely they had an argument and it was a spur of the moment thing. He should be punished, but not forever. If he has behaved himself in prison I don't have a problem with him getting parole.
