You are gullible
Apparently you knew! 
You can't mishandle evidence that wasn't there.
I feel confident in saying this case wouldn't have even made it to trial in the USA let alone get a conviction. |
On the evidence that was available at the time I was sure she did it, yeah. That has been discredited since and the procedural flaws in the original case that have since come to light make me highly suspect she didn't. You see how I change my position on the basis of new information coming to light?
Yeah I was sure she did it - but I've long since come to terms with the idea that I am not infallible - even on a messageboard.
I don't however think she is entirely innocent because of her demeanor and because she lied to put an entirely innocent party in the dock for murder. And yes, you can mishandle evidence and manipulate it, that is why unless they find mislaid a video of exactly what happened, then because they have contaminated the evidence - no one will get to the bottom of exactly what happened and who was involved.
Finally, if you don't think there is a likelihood of a similar miscarriage of justice coming to light in the States, in spite of all the previous history - with often far more tragic and immoral endings, I wouldn't if I were you, accuse others of being gullible.
