Do you mean the eternal triangle like in Tom Dooley?
Thanks. Now I'll have the Trio in my head for the rest of the week. :waiting:

Seriously, I'll have to agree that we know nothing about his case, and the Press simply made it worse.
Life is for learning.

There have always been badguys pretending to be goodguys, and there will always be idiots.

You know, cloudy news reporting like this and
many other stories should remind us why trials are
held - so that all sides can tell their tale.

Sometimes the news announces an acquittal of
someone we presumed to be guilty. But keep in
mind that the jury was there for weeks listening
to 6 hours a day of testimony. They know much more
than we, the news-consuming public, will ever know
about the details of a case.

None of us knows the facts. But judging by most of the comments here, we have a lot more civilized members here than the commentators to the articles on khou, chron etc.

With that been said, this story is really bizarre and we are best not to assume or make up any opinions till most of the facts are straight.

Even more sad, are those cases where the new pronounces the conviction of someone we all presumed to be innocent. But the fact is, the jury often knows less than those of us who read the news in earnest (as opposed to anyone who thinks there is any "news" on television).

I have aquitted more than one person that was guilty as hell (some for felonies) simply because there was inadequite evidence to remove reasonable doubt. In one case the police had the evidence. They just did not test the one piece that removed reasonable doubt and proved guilt.
