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.

Let me get this straight, virtually all of the physical evidence in the case has been discredited to the point of being useless leaving the only tie as some strange behavior by someone who was clearly under an ungodly amount of stress and you only downgrade your opinion to highly suspecting that she did it? How do rationalize that? No evidence whatsoever and you still highly suspect that she did it? And you have the nerve to go after the US justice system? Thank god you're not in charge of it if those are the standards you utilize.
