Please change your headline from "baby killer"......you have convicted him without a trial. That is something worthy of Rick Perry or Sarah Palin but not of progressives. If you are a worthy member of DU you will change the headline to something like...."What happened to the posters who were asking the DA to drop the charges against the father ACCUSED of murdering his son". If you don't you don't believe in our system of justice.
I listened to the entire hearing today. Yes there were some startling facts like he was sexting with potentially underage girls while his son sat in the hot car and that the vehicle reeked of the smell of death.
But I believe Mr. Harris deserves the constitutional right of a fair and impartial trial. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The facts as they are coming out are not overly favorable to him but, as an attorney, have seen cases that looked to be a slam dunk in one direction completely turn around. Facts are important.
Both the prosecution now that they have established probable cause and will likely get a Grand Jury indictment will collect additional evidence and dissect what they have. The defense will do the same. That is the nature of our adversary legal system.
But I would refrain from your conclusory statements of "baby killer". They may be part and parcel of the trolls at FR but not here.
