I have increasingly begun to believe that Truth matters little in our Justice system. What matters is knowing how to game the law. And money buys the best "gamers."
We do not have a common interest to see that crime does not pay, that the grieving receive justice for their loss. It is one thing to say that the accused deserve a fair trial. It's another to manipulate the jury pool through cleverly crafted media sound bites.
For example, the Martens arrived at the house around 8:30PM. At around 3:AM, on the 911 call, we hear TM ask MM, "Was he drinking?" The answer is relayed from MM..."He was drinking this afternoon."
The answer was NOT..."OMG...he was a raging drunk? Why do you think we beat him so viciously."
Now...if he was "drinking in the afternoon"...and neither of the accused were aware of him drinking AFTER THAT...as is proven by the 911 call...how could he have been a raging drunk as the attorneys claim...at 3AM?
The media campaign to twist the real facts and undermine the Truth has begun. Grab the popcorn.
My opinion only.
