    TX - Hailey Dunn, 13, murdered, Scurry County, Dec 2010 *Arrest in 2021, released in 2023* #4

    Presumably they are still capable of being an impartial jury who looks at the evidence alone to make a decision and not their political or social beliefs. I don't see why being conservative or liberal has any bearing on the outcome if the jury is performing their role properly. If it does have a...

    TX - Hailey Dunn, 13, murdered, Scurry County, Dec 2010 *Arrest in 2021, released in 2023* #4

    That search warrant was related to the CP allegations, it had nothing to do with HD. It would not have been for DNA (since DNA is irrelevant for a CP case), more likely it was a warrant to search his person for items he may have had in his possession.

    TX - Hailey Dunn, 13, murdered, Scurry County, Dec 2010 *Arrest in 2021, released in 2023* #4

    The problem with that is because they lived together, any such DNA could come from incidental contamination. Plus, any such evidence would have been collected up to a decade ago, and they would have had plenty of time to analyze it if they had it. They almost certainly already had samples of...

    I am not sure how DNA would be relevant in this case since HDs remains were skeletal while being exposed to the elements for a few years, and, since SA and HD lived in the same house, both of their DNA would contaminate everything. How do you think DNA would link him to her murder?

    Discovery is all the documents they have acquired in the course of the investigation, which they are supposed to turn over to the defense. I presume they have been doing that in tranches, with the last data packet being the "new" data. It is not really new, it is just material that had not yet...

    Russia Attacks Ukraine - 23 Feb 2022 #7

    The next step in all of this will be China invading eastern Russia to recover the territories Russia took from them in the 1800s. This is actually a thing in China, most of their foreign policy over the last century has been based around correcting the loss of face in what they call the "Century...

    CONVICTION OVERTURNED NJ - Timothy Wiltsey, 5, murdered, Sayreville, 25 May 1991 *Released 2021*

    The problem is that a lot of jurors convict or acquit based on their "gut feeling" rather than careful consideration of the evidence. This woman may well be guilty, the jury might well believe she probably is, but the thing is that the state failed to prove it. The jury has to do their job, and...

    CA - Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) Wire Fraud Thread *Guilty* #2

    Because most of the not guilty verdicts were for charges involving patients. The company did the tests, the tests just were not accurate, or were done using conventional testing and not their machine. Fraud in that instance would have been committed by the company, not her personally. Also...

    CA - Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) Wire Fraud Thread *Guilty* #2

    It is still prison. She is/was a billionaire, it will put a serious cramp in her lifestyle. Even low security prisons are NOT summer camps.

    MI - David Shelton, 27 years in prison, possible miscarriage of justice, Oakland County, 1993

    The problem is that once you are convicted, the burden of proof lies with you to overturn the conviction. That is usually hard to do, firstly because the evidence is either not there or difficult to find, and the convicted person is in prison, which makes the whole process logistically...

    Shelly Boggio 1985 murder Was James Dailey wrongfully convicted? New info..

    Any conviction that relies substantially or entirely on a "jail house confession" or testimony from some guy given a special deal in return should be regarded as highly suspect. There is so much motivation for these people to lie on the stand.

    GUILTY Belize - Superintendent Henry Jemmott, shot/body in sea, San Pedro Town, 28 May 2021 *arrest*

    I don't see why there has to be an affair. People can be friends, especially in a small community where most of the people in prominent positions locally probably know each other very well.

    GUILTY Nationwide College Cheating Scandal - Actresses, Business Owners Charged, Mar 2019 #4

    Privilege has nothing to do with it. Anyone can make a request like that and they are granted all the time, as long as you can show the judge that you have been compliant with your conditions and there are reasonable grounds to think you are not going to flee the country. There is no reason why...

    GUILTY Nationwide College Cheating Scandal - Actresses, Business Owners Charged, Mar 2019 #4

    Why do they have to be from Mexico to spend time with family there? Have you never been to Mexico to spend time with your family? Millions of Americans do it every year, lol.

    Mistakes made that led to Casey being aquitted...

    Jurors are not supposed to be advocates one way or another, if they are doing that they are engaged in misconduct. The evidence is supposed to speak for itself, either it is compelling or it is not. If it is not compelling then they are supposed to acquit. The fact that he talks about "pushing...

    Mistakes made that led to Casey being aquitted...

    I am a chemist. The chloroform angle was nonsense. Quite a lot of the forensics presented in the trial was shockingly speculative. And btw, the prosecutor actually presented proof that their scenario could not have happened, the whole "death hair" thing, which was apparently OUTSIDE the bag...

    GUILTY Belize - Superintendent Henry Jemmott, shot/body in sea, San Pedro Town, 28 May 2021 *arrest*

    If the magazine had one round in it, and there was another unfired round on the dock, then that would suggest that they were playing with the gun and removing rounds from the magazine, unaware that the gun itself still had one in the breech. That would be consistent with an accidental discharge.

    I agree, but the perps I have in mind are likely different from yours ;)

    Those powerful systemic corticosteroids can really mess you up, they are not to be trifled with.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #81

    That is not really true. The vast majority of people want a leader to follow, basically someone to tell them what to do. They are very few who will actually lead, and even fewer who are competent at it.
