Didn't know where else to put this information and comment...so opted for this thread as others are closed.
Last night on
48 Hours the program involved the suspicious death of woman who happened to be Asian. Her boyfriend was accused of torture and murder.
He was found innocent primarily for two reasons:
1) The woman's questionable past involving "soft *advertiser censored*."
2) The testimony of a former San Diego County coroner who testified that certain brain activity would not be present if the woman had been strangled.
The relationship to RZ's death is interesting as the defense used the woman's PAST decision involving *advertiser censored* as part of a negative characterization of her.
Secondly, the judge did not allow the prosecution to call a rebuttal witness (a person who would have countered the SD coroner's statement). Jury members interviewed stated that since there was no further information and the topic wasn't addressed by the prosecution, they took the coroner's statement as "true."
The strategy is somewhat similar to the tactics being used by DS's "legal" team. Defame RZ and find an expert who will agree with your premise.
And, I have not wanted to raise the "race card", however, there does seem to be a bias running through some of the discussions implying "cultural" differences which might explain RZ's "attack" on MS.
Food for thought...OH...the woman in the 48 Hours segment had a resemblance to RZ, too.
