The verdict of the Casey Anthony trial ...Well said. The verdict of the Casey Anthony trial set the country on fire against the criminal justice system in general. She was convicted in the Court of Public Opinion based upon sensation media coverage of the trial.<br /><br />Simple explanation of the way trial works to the general public wouldn't garner the ratings of divisive and pandering rhetoric, so even-handed and objective legal commentary regarding nationally televised trials such as this one just doesn't exist in mainstream pundit-laden outlets.<br /><br />To make matters worse, talking heads like Nancy Grace act as prosecutor, judge, and jury without regard to veracity of 'evidence'. Verisimilitude is all that is required for ratings, so that is what is presented. Even Bill Maher last night showed a uprising lack of interest in objectivity while trying to appear rational in his closing remarks.<br /><br />It is no surprise why the general public feels the system doesn't do enough to convict while, at the same time, state prison populations are expanding and California is being ordered to reduce its prison population due to high conviction rates, lengthy sentences, and little provision for redemption.Eric Matthewshttp://pcr-consultants.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-29442032730899787302011-07-07T09:40:19.258-04:002011-07-07T09:40:19.258-04:00I made you a new banner photo.

That's...It's true Brian, it's all true. That's why I would really love to hear your take on Jose Baez, a friend of yours, because up until now literally no one respectable has expressed positive opinions of him as a lawyer or a person as far as I've seen. I'd like to hear both sides.A.Morgan Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09263602029957627098noreply@blogger.com
