If you hold the same litmus test for saying he was not guiltly of murder because of the results of the muder trial to the results of this trial, why can you not accept the decision?
The judge clearly stated before sentencing that the verdict and sentence was based solely on the results of this trial. He was guilty of like 10 different things. It's not my fault he screwed up.
That's justice baby!

Is he an idiot? His actions since the crime scream "YES"
But...if we incarcerated folks for being idiots....
This latest crime is hardly worth a long sentence...
Our legal system don't state that it's ok to "get even" or balance the scales...
He should have been sentenced solely on the merits of this conviction...
Was he?
Even if he is guilty of murder...he didn't get away with anything...he simply avoided man's law...I believe there is a higher justice.
I also believe that it is better to let a guilty man go free than to punish an innocent man...isn't that a cornerstone of our system?
I find no joy in this....I find the man pathetic, yes...distasteful, but I don't get the vulturistic joy of some...
