So it's been almost a year since he got convicted of second-degree murder which I am completely sure he is innocent of. Did anyone else follow his case? I'm curious if anyone else saw the same news I did and thinks the guy did it. I can't believe he got 25 to life.

That's really disgusting that he was jailed for this. Surely reasonable doubt must have come into it at some point!

Apparently they had a jury full of the same retards who thought they had reasonable doubt against OJ.

definitely sounds like someone needs to give em a dictionary and some reading comprehension classes

Eh, the Milgram experiment has taught me that the only way you can be innocent is by having a damn good lawyer.

LOL, i could google, but what's the Milgram experiment?

They got a group of volunteers and put one in two different rooms connected by microphone. One guy had a "shock box" which was a series of buttons that would deliver a shock from a mild prick to a shock strong enough to kill someone. They had a list of words that were meant to go together, which the other volunteer was supposed to have read and memorized. He would read a word, and the person in the other room would have to tell what word went with it. If he forgot, he got shocked, and every time he got shocked he got more electricity. With them in that room was a professional looking older man in a lab coat holding a clip board telling them to keep going
