It's over he's free!

He was convicted by the court in the BVI, the conviction was overturned on a technicality.

The technicality being he didn't get a fair trial. Big deal, why should the gulity get a fair trial, right Thal?

 

[Thalassamania]

The technicality lets him out on the street, it does not mean that he was innocent or that with out the error he'd have been acquitted. While the judge made some mistakes, and that is truly a shame, he was pretty clearly gulity as sin. In my view a fair trial would have put him away for life.

This is why we have a jury system and lawyers so one man with an opinion can't railroad somebody.

Like I said, better that nine guilty men go free than one innocent man go to jail. It appears to me that one guilty men just went free.

So the systems works just slowly. Your opinon like mine doesn't matter, only the judge's matters and apparently the judge doesn't think it''s possible for Swain to get a fair trial.
