Money talks? Did you think for one second that maybe the prosecution did a horrible job? ---

There definitely was reasonable doubt in this case. The jury reached the right verdict. ---

Well none of us know what happened for sure, but we do know what happened in the trial. They had a weak case. Flat out. ---

Judge not and stuff. From what I had seen about the trial, I thought it would go this way. I don’t know if he “got away” with anything. Personally, I don’t think he did it. He’s bizarre, but that’s not enough to call someone a child molester in my book. ---

The lesson to learn here folks is if you want to be acquitted, get your trial in California. Both sides of this circus need to be hung.
