I didn't know that. Well, it doesn't look so good for the state, now does it?
By the way, I am breaking my vow not to post again on this trial, but this point of law was worth citing here.
One more thing. This essay makes the case that the judge should have dismissed this case for lack of evidence. For failing to do so, I would submit that this decision was a cop out. It is the type of thing that happens so often in this society. Nobody wants to step up and do the right thing. So, the jury is going to have to handle that burden. That's why this is a cop out.
