There was still sufficient evidence to find him guilty.

The hair they claim was his. They did microscope comparisons. That is not valid today. Today we could verify it was his or hers by way of DNA testing.

The drop of blood on his shoe. I'm not sure what they were going for there. Testing could have told us something. It could have been his, hers, or someone else's. Either way it would have been an important piece to the puzzle.

I don't care how guilty someone is I do not support the death penalty. I also think we should use additional DNA analysis is situations like this. If the drop of blood is from someone else there is a possibility that a second person was there and they are walking free.

From the start he has gotten screwed by the legal system, guilty or not. One of his first lawyers was thrown out for staying drunk.

Then I'm confused about the relevance of you bringing this up. The99thTimeLord Apr 2017 #16

I was simply highlighting why is make no sense that you would compare yourself to him. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #17

Well that's my point. The comparison is to say he may have not done it. I've never killed anybody. The99thTimeLord Apr 2017 #18
