It was exceedingly disappointing. It seemed like hatred-fueled gossip belief by the fact that exploring possibilities and being on the fence is not the same as always arguing for the side of the defendant and using irrelevant nonsense to do so, all while steadfastly ignoring the massive, grinning, well-rested, body concealing, lying elephant in the room.
It seemed illogical and cruel.
But amazingly, conclusions motivated by hate can be incredibly strong even when not based in rationality. People were pretty certain when news of a plea leaked that it was going to be guilty to less than what was charged!!
People actually looked at the face of that DA, reviewed the facts extensively, including the lying, grinning and concealment of baby bodies, and still concluded that the autopsies must be in the defendant's favor and the state was going to just quickly capitulate with no explanation.
That was surprising to me.
IMO it speaks to the power of hatred. At least for some.
Poor Shanann. Everything was taken from her. Her babies lives. The breath from her body. AND her good name as a wonderful mama, a strong survivor and a decent human being.
I'm sad for her and her family. I hope those who joined that bandwagon will try to analyze why, consider the source of some of the nonsense and feel some degree of shame.
