I guess evidence does not mean crap anymore in America.
Not enough evidence existed to convict him. Nothing like an emotional jury to decide your fate. Nothing like people deciding how they FEEL than how they think and reviewing real evidence. This focker is an appeal waiting to happen.

sounds like you watched some news station, where some correspondent came on and said what you said...
so you mean to tell me, that if a jury decides 100% guilty with 100% death recommendation, that there was not enough evidence? come on
There wasn't any forensic evidence, and very circumstantial at best. I think he did it, I'm just not certain of it...so how can you be certain you should put a person to death?
You should not portray yourself as a very smug, arrogant asshole to the people who hold your very life in their hands.
Anyway with over 600 people on deathrow and only 10 or so executions in like the last 20 years or so, they basically gave him life anyway.

And this in a nutshell is what's wrong with the death penalty. Killing him doesn't bring Laci and the baby back; it's vindictive at best and the murder of an innocent man at worst.
I know what frosty is getting at.

Not being at the trial, none of us knows all the evidence or what was really proven or not.
I realize we now live in the "CSI Era" where people want DNA and other forensic evidence to back up their convictions and sentences.

that in my opinion is the main thing thats wrong with the death penalty, if you are going to do something, then do it,
Had he not dyed his hair, hung out with hookers and kept talking to Amber, he would prolly have gotten off. But at least it is over and I don't have to hear emotional Nancy Grace have one snit fit after another.
