Yea I know, we'll never know.....but honestly, does anyone really think her text messages would reveal the killer (other than Brad)? Kurtz is hoping this honest mistake by CPD will be magnified into a bumbling, inept and corrupt investigation.
Just-the-fax, I totally respect every one of your opinions and your dialogue on here.
However, the answer to the rhetorical question above is: YES. It is called reasonable doubt. The judge sees it too, and he will allow the State way more lead to prove it one way or the other. He doesn't care about anything but keeping the ground legally level and can't do anything more about it, but we do have to consider it. We have to know if John Pearson sent a text message that said: Kid? My kid? I don't have a kid you crazy ______. That makes a HUGE difference in the grand scheme of things.
I have listened to the former girlfriends and I have listened to the former roommates (on here, as well as in other venues) but the bottom line is: Brad Cooper is an odd kind of criminal (if at all) in the idea that he likely won't re-offend. He poses all kinds of problems for the state as a whole because he is in a position to actually be a contributing member of society. I am posting because of people like him. There is NO criminal record between he and Nancy at all. The only things we have from the state are that A) he sucked as a husband B) he was fair to middling or worse as a father C) that he was a jerk and probably an . But, and this is the hugest of buts out there, NONE of these things, coupled with some neighborhood gossip and technical speculation make him a murderer.
And BELIEVE me when I say: I want to see the link between circumstantial and direct evidence (OR just enough circumstantial evidence) to put him away. But, I have to believe in the machinery in place and what the State is currently feeding me is not enough to keep the gears going to a point where it ends with him in jail.
I was just sitting here thinking how I NEVER want people on a forum somewhere discussing my personal life (or my lawn care capabilities) as a pre-cursor to my release or my incarceration in one of NC's medium to high prison's. I would NEVER wish anything negative on my ex like this, but her lifestyle exposes her to such risk and it would crush my soul to be sitting in jail going "What the &*&^*^T" did she do?" when I knew I had not hurt her. It would kill me to be ripped from my daughter's life because of one of her choices ending her life and THAT is what we are all really here to discuss.
I am aware of the variables (and actually hope the State blows me away in the next ten business/court days) that this requires, but it's one of these cases that makes the other cases (Eve Carson, for example) pale in even comparison.
For a little exercise in where I am coming from, the Christian Newsome cases and the Witchita Massacre are where I cut my teeth on human depravity, so I have to try and tip the balance to even with the NC/BC case because of those cases.
