Interesting. I guess the good news is that a jury of BC's peers WILL hear the evidence, they'll assign whatever weight to that evidence they want, the defense will get to counter what is presented by the prosecution if they want and are able to and hopefully the right person will be tried for the crime and justice will be the outcome. If there is DNA evidence that links him to the murder then it will be hard to say the wrong person was indicted. If there are files on his computer that show he was seeking to dump a body it will be hard to say the wrong person was indicted.
As for Alan Gell, he wasn't indicted by a Wake County Grand Jury, wasn't tried in Wake County by the Wake County DA, the prosecution withheld evidence, and his conviction was through (faulty) eyewitness testimony by 2 girls who took plea bargains and pinned the murder on him. You can't compare the Alan Gell case with the Brad Cooper case; they have nothing in common except that both cases occurred in North Carolina.
