If not then he is still free.

I don't think there is one member of this forum that has not been falsely accused at some time in their lives. I have a bad feeling about this case, but hey, we have the best justice system money can buy.Better to let all the guilty go free, than convict an innocent man...

True that.

The problem in, my eyes, is that justice and the law are seldom the same. Due process was followed in this case, and I think the jury made the right decision, based on the evidence they saw. All too often, the lawyers and investigators (on both sides) withhold evidence, skew facts, and outright lie, to achieve "victory", and justice falls by the wayside. Naive as it sounds, I'd rather see a prosecutor that had respect for the truth, and sought it out, rather than the one with the highest conviction rate.

I agree... and I've never been falsely accused of anything nearly as bad as murdering a police officer, but [to lighten the mood a bit] I was accused of banging this ugly fat broad from Australia... I didn't know how many times I had to yell at people "I didn't touch that bitch!"
I say bring back public firing squads or maybe even the guillotine- I think that might be a bit graphic though, but it gets the job done in one swift, gravity induced motion.

Public Hanging

[Bailey Guns]

The whole "recanted their stories" bullshit is just that. If you really checked that out you'd also know that 2 of the recanters weren't called to testify in the sentencing phase. That's because the defense knew their recanted stories wouldn't hold up under cross examination. There is no question this guy shot and killed the officer. All of them also recanted after the trial and they were all "friends" of the defendant. Trial lawyers, even for the defense, will tell you that's not uncommon. They'll also tell you the changed stories are generally unreliable.

There is no question in the world this guy did. Three Air Force members, who had no connection to the defendant other than being witnesses, also picked him out of a lineup as the shooter.

This guy is as guilty as the day is long. The "recanted stories" line is a distraction engineered by anti-death penalty types, plain and simple.

Good riddance to this scumbag.
