The real issue is the prosecution went too far in charges pursued without any real evidence to back it up. Hearsay is not evidence. They had very, very, little to offer.

Beyond a reasonable doubt, remember. They didn't do their job, if she was, in fact, guilty.

ps JUST LIKE OJ JUST LIKE OJ. Hardly just like OJ. What a silly already overused comparison.

I read a repost on CNN of twitter comments (because I don't EVEN get the whole twitter thing, what's with the 'at' sign or the pound sign or whatever sign that precedes 'tweets'? But I digress.) It was about our justice system being based on "it's better to let a guilty person go free than to convict an innocent person." This is why the prosecutors need to do a good job and NOT rely on the emotional opinions of the masses, thinking the jury can't rise above emotional opinion.
