I wish I was on this jury. Then I could sit there and silently cheer and laugh at the defense's meaningless, irrational, sleazy cross-examination, knowing that the murdering twit had no chance for a "not guilty" verdict. Has that defense lawyer ever heard the phrase "grasping at straws"? They're all the same, I can't stand them, then the audacity to drag the victim's name in the mud.
The system is stupid, the monsters shouldn't be given all the rights. It should be reversed. The defense should have the burden of proof and this whole "reasonable doubt" is simply ridiculous. No reasonable person would say, with all that evidence, (sorry Mr Lying Defense Lawyer DNA is most certainly reliable) that the guy didn't slaughter that young woman to pieces.
There was really no need for a trial in this one. I propose this Edwards killer should be turned over to the young woman's family. They can be free to do what they want with him. If they want no part of any of that, then go to his cell and shoot him in the head. Case closed.
ahhh but he'll probably be set free because of reasonable doubt. or maybe 1 year probation. after all DNA doesn't count, the crime scene was contaminated so nothing should be admissable, and there is a possibility the girl was on her period and somehow gallons and gallons of blood on the bed, ceiling, garage, swords, etc, etc, etc was from her period. I'm sure she made sure to get menstrual blood on the ceiling. She also ran into the garage with two towels and got more mentsrual blood on them, then hid the towels in a plastic bag. At the same time this Edwards monster decided to re-paint his room, he also didn't wanna clean up the "period" blood on his bed, he just flipped the matress over. The young woman was playing with the swords too....and she was naked! that's why her "period" blood got on the swords! Finally she made sure to jump in the trunk of the guy's car so she could get "period" blood in the trunk too. It's all clear now! And what a coinkydink, she has completely disappeared off the face of the Earth after all this! Thanks Mr Defense Lawyer you put on a good show! Maybe Edwards can kill your wife with his swords! And you can defend him too!
