Hi Marly
I did not follow the Sica trial at all, I don't know anything about that one.
I hope GBC will be found guilty as I believe he is.
I am feeling more positive now than I was at the end of the prosecution case.
I have tried as best I can to see things as the jury might - impossible if not there of course.
I seem to get a lot of disagreement, but don't think it means I don't think he did a despicable thing just because I am trying to look at it fairly rather than just hang him to dry without weighing all of the evidence - it's ok for me to privately believe in his guilt on gut feel but I would not like to live in a country where justice was dealt without evidence or where being guilty of lying is judged as guilty of murder.
I can see that you have done that. Possibly the disagreemnet is because there are a lot of people who have started off like you 2 years ago and been unsure, had an open mind etc but eventually after a very long time of digesting all of the information and having robust discussions here they have formed an opinion. I think a big part of it depends on how long you've been absorbing every little detail of the case.
I dont think anyone here disagrees with people getting a fair trial, and I dont think they are hanging him out to dry without weighing all of the evidence. There has been very little evidence at all in this trial that didnt come out in the first few months and at the bail and committal hearing, so people have had a long time to weigh up the information.
For me, there were certain things that were 'deal-breakers' which to my mind had no other explanation. And nothing has been disclosed since then to discount those things.
