Social 🦹 Crime.

I knew what the verdict would be when I read the jury had said some of them didn't believe the defence had convinced them the wife had committed suicide and the judge basically said "The defence don't have to prove beyond reasonable doubt she committed suicide, the prosecution have to prove beyond resonable doubt she was murdered by the defendant." And the jury didn't feel the prosecution had convinced them of that, either.

Epstein, Diddy, Pelicott case, I don't understand why there are so many scumbags in the world. It's not really that hard to be a decent person is it? Wish the world was a better place.

Did the jury get it right?

I wasn't there but it would seem to me the defense lawyers did their job.... created enough doubt for the jury not to convict. If they had enough doubt, then they were right. Doesn't mean he didn't do it though.

Apparently he spent $3m on the defence

Didn’t the main person they wanted on the stand, being the prostitute just get back from a European holiday just as the trial finished?

Back in '72, Larry Norman wrote a song which included these words:

You say all men are equal, all men are brothers,
Then why are the rich more equal than others?

She basically refused to take part, then in the media was saying she was praying for him to be found guilty or something...

On the defence team, its was the same team as Jesse Shane Kempson. How the hell did he afford them?

Peculiar case. He certainly wouldn’t have wanted me on the jury

Yeah in the early few weeks I said to the Mrs my guess is that he'd be found not guilty.

I personally think he did it, however you have to say there is some reasonable doubt there and that's really all they need
