20. Well, obviously if I were a judge I would have a lot more knowledge about the case.

I'm not "judging" her guilty, I'm stating that my opinion is that she is "probably" guilty, based on what I have seen, and in my opinion justice seems like it was served, even though it took a long strange path to get there. Yes, I'm aware that I don't know everything about it, I thought I made that clear. And I'm not "rejoicing" about anything, not sure where I gave that impression.

Yes, I realize that the judge had access to all the evidence and declared her innocence, and I accept that decision. I said even before this verdict, that I would accept whatever decision the judge came to, because the judge knows a lot more than people on the internet on either side of the debate.

I found the people who were utterly convinced of her guilt just as unpersuasive as people who were utterly convinced of her innocence. The one thing that stood out to me is that it's a very strange case.

Also, when I click on that link, I get a 404 error. Maybe it's a problem on my side.
