Respectfully, I would rather judges follow their allegiance to the law because that's their job. If SG gets off, I'll be none too happy, but if it's because the evidence doesn't hold up legally, well, I don't know what else the judge can do. The system is flawed but it seems to me that there has to be some room for error or we would be convicting innocent people left right and centre. I'll now duck the tomatoes coming my way :doorhide:
My issue is with SG getting a judge only trial is that it was down to his finances. How is that fair? Either make all murder trials by judge or jury, but it shouldn't be selective imo. A judge and jury are not going to view the evidence the same way, which is not to say either is right or wrong, but there should be consistency if you ask me.
