Normally I wouldn't bother playing devil's advocate in this thread, but I'm fresh off this case, which I really hope people will click, because it needs eyes and posts:
Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - VA-mark Weiner wrongfully convicted, denied remedy
This man has been convicted on the basis of one flaky witness (who was trying to get attention from her boyfriend) and zero physical evidence. He needs help badly.
I suppose I'll just say that, in the absence of the physical evidence (yet), it's not necessary, IMHO, to call strangers naive sheep for having different opinions.
(I do suspect the evidence exists, but I also know no named source has said so yet.)
Innocence Projects abound....lots of law students and law schools have devoted countless hours searching for EVIDENCE that there was wrongdoing. So many times evidence is overlooked, dismissed or discounted. I cheer when a truly wrongful conviction is overturned.
best part of the evidence from what I gleaned from that post was that his cell records indicate he was 17 miles away from the crime when it occurred.
