I only have one question.

What possesses people to wear bowties?

Outside of wearing one with a Tux does anyone really think they look anything but rediculous wearing them?

Some people wear them well.

I saw a tiny bit of the trial. The fact he had no residu on his hands at all was kinda hard to explain. I know they say he could've wiped it off somewhere, but it seems unlikely.
And 10 husbands before him - thats reasonable doubt right there..

Honestly - I have no clue whether he killed her or not.

Guess it all depends on what you mean by proof.

WRT to Peterson, they don't have a cause of death, nor do they have a weapon. He got the death penalty for being an ultra melon.

I heard sone of prosecutor's closing rebuttle, and she swore a number of times (saying BS but using the words). I thought "why do that?" Swearing rarely helps an argument but frequently hurts it. I still don't get why an educated woman has to use "BS" in a closing arguement. Did it affect the outcome - prolly not - but I still am wondering "why be stupid?"

I didn't watch the trial but I thought he was guilty from the news coverage I saw.

I spoke with a friend earlier and predicted that people would trot out the 'no big celebrity gets convicted' statement. The problem is... Blake was never a BIG celebrity, and he hasn't been even a small one for years.

As a member of ye' old public, it sounded pretty strange to me too, but the jurors heard stuff we didn't. I wonder if he actually didn't do it? I mean, the whole 'I went back for my gun' thing reminds me of the Chewbacca defense. It's so crazy, how can he be lying?

Yeah, Blake's celebratiy rises only to the level of "Denis Miller reference I dont get"...I cant wait til everyone has forgotten denis miler, so i can reference him anacronisticly

The phrase that applies best here is 'convicted in the press'. Thankfully, the press does not have actual judicial power yet.

by "proof",i mean the jury has to find him guilty, the prosecutor did not convince the jury that he was guilty.

a jury member said "we did not find him innocent, we found him not guilty"

<<

I only saw about 10 minutes of it, but no, it didn't seem she was quoting but speaking directly to the jury (e.g., "The defense wants you to believe the defendant carried a gun because he feared for his wife's life, but left her alone in a bad area to go back and get his gun . BS!! [using the words]"
