ABSOLUTELY!!! How anybody can say at this point in time that they think the evidence is weak is beyond me. NOBODY knows what the evidence is in it's entirety with the exception of LE, and as far as I'm aware, they haven't had the trial yet, so to make such a statement is bogus.
Nice try, but no cookie.
The topic isn't that the evidence is week. But how evidence can be through out of court, etc. Plenty of guilty people get off because of such things. It is an interesting subject.
The rules for handling evidence is tighter. OJ might have walked, but it was an eye opener for alot of folks. Local police departments knows to handle it better and keep from contaiminating it, etc. A trained LE who knowingly walks through a crime, mucking it up should be charged for a crime. They KNOW better.
On the flip side. The defense doesn't get to enter anything it wants either. I know a case where an undercover was id'ing a man. She claimed to called out to him in a small town bar using his full name. The Name he used was his father's first name, his first name and his last name. Which wasn't his name. She said he introduced himself that way in front of others. Small town, known folks since birth.. Such stuff wiouldn't have flown. What wasn't allowed in court was she had goofed id's before. That there was a guy living in the county with such a name, driving the same color/make car she claimed he took her to. And had attened the same bar. She iding this man was the only evidence against him. The best that was allowed was folks being allowed to testify that they never heard him call him self such. Including the Sheriff.
Courts and Judges.... You just never know.
