Yeah isn't it odd that someone who isn't convicted of anything is hanging out in jail? I'm sure he has state-funded legal counsel working on something, but one would have expected something to happen by now.

As a Canadian I love the USA, but not all of its institutions. Things that bother me are that some of the judiciary are elected, as are some of the DAs. I also don't like the deadlock in your federal legislative branch that rears its head sometimes. That's not to say I like our Parliamentary...

I went back and re-read the defence brief for the appeal. I am astounded by the number of flagrant lies that were included in this brief. This is compounded by reviewing some of the trial videos where Kurtz and friends made things up on the spot in order to confuse the evidence to make Brad look...

Thanks Madeleine, its hard to separate memories that far back, but yes I think you are correct. I used the word email in my prior post but that doesn't really describe it, it was different, you didn't have an interface like you do now. The technology was so different in its use, and the...

Finally, this should be about what Brad did. Was he truly stupid enough to google map the place he deposited his wife's body, the day before he planned to kill her? Or maybe he didn't? Did he, as a computer science graduate, not consider that the police would check his work computer, or more...

I don't know about domain registrations but would clarify my prior post and I agree my words were too strong. I was not in computer science as a major but took two CS courses to meet the science requirement of my BA...dropped one. I graduated from there in 1994. The CS courses I took were a...

I was a student there from 1990 to 1994.

-As for issues of gain, Brad was aware that sometimes civil legal proceedings can go against you (he had one go against him in Calgary, and he tried to avoid judgment collection but his bank account was seized, resulting in him missing his rent payments and pissing off his live-in-girlfriend at...

-Brad was not one to carry equipment or gear in his cars. I'm specifically referring to a Jeep YJ he used to have, and which he would drive into Banff National Park in Canada. I can't speak for the BMW 325i (or 323?) he bought shortly after that and took with him to NC. He was not good...

Just as an interesting note, Brad and Nancy both being Canadian, had Brad done this in Canada, the max sentence would have been "life", which in Canada means, you can be paroled at 25 years of sentence. "Life" in NC means life, in Canada, not so. I'd be OK with a plea that let him out after...

I get you approach this from the point of view that Brad did not do it, but at least admit that doesn't mean he's Mr. Clean on all fronts. He gave false names intentionally for reasons that could become clear in the second trial. He wasn't protecting them, they didn't need protection, only he...

-He lied about his ex-gf's name because he knew that if authorities talked to her, they would find out things which would suggest he is capable of some very nasty things, and did commit some criminal offences in Canada for which he had not been caught. They did talk to her, and she was queued...

There was no exculpatory physical evidence. Or are you referring to the phone call from Harris Teeter, which is based on digital footprints? There was incriminating physical evidence, the most obvious which was his search on the dump site. Or is that not physical because it was digital...

I find it somewhat troubling that you're assuming someone who killed their wife necessarily made completely logical decisions before doing it, and would not have made any missteps covering their tracks. By your reasoning, there would only be logical homicides. What would that be? Killing for...

double post

The family didn't "tear" the children away. They were presented with a set of circumstances where these two girls' mother was murdered. They already heard and lived the stories they were told by Nancy about how Brad treated her. They believed their daughter when she told them that Brad had...

Thanks for your measured response oenophile, I suppose we'll see what happens next, and then we can debate and discuss that. The only article I've read as to the state's current intentions is the WRAL article where the DA is quoted to say, Brad "will probably be retried". He says they need...

Hello everyone, Lots of interesting comments since the SC refused the State's appeal. I can't say I disagree with the SC, even though they didn't give reasons! The only recent comments I take real issue with are two of oenophile's statements in post 544, the first which says Brad was...

That would certainly take those doubting his guilt over to the guilt side, except those that just won't face facts for what they are. Its pretty unfortunate they didn't have that evidence before the trial started. It speaks to the fact that they weren't that thorough investigating in the...

I don't see how anyone could form that view just because of the additional arguments presented via the appeal briefs. The most that can be said is that the defence was not able to get their technical evidence in, and while I think their technical evidence will end up hanging their own client...
