Witness, co-defendant tell newspaper man wasn't guilty

I notice you post didn't say he was innocent.


I used to put great faith in our legal system in this country, but not
anymore. There's been far too many abuses by the prosecution, the police,
the FBI, et cetera, for me to believe many of their claims. My feelings
about our criminal justice system began changing when I served on a grand
jury several decades ago. It was an eye-opener.

It isn't a requirement for a defendant to prove himself innocent, by the
way. The burden is on the state.



The liberals managed to bring the legal system to it's current state of
affairs. Folks like you are to blame.



That's right. We liberals insisted upon civil liberties for all
defendant, not just rich white defendants. You know, silliness such as
legal counsel for defendant, for integrated juries, for rules of
evidence to be imposed and enforced, for an end to lynchings. Yup, our
kind pushed for these reforms. We're to blame.

You liberals executed a man who may have been innocent. Then you try to
blame conservatives.

Shame on you.

they will expect the immediate restoration of the status quo. They will
attack you (sometimes physically) and spew a load of bile, insult, abuse,
contempt, threats, etc., and then -- well, it's kind of like they had
indigestion and the vicious tirade worked like a burp: "There. Now I feel
better. Where were we?"
