bee_yorkSince people can't seem to STFU about this trial I didn't know existed until yesterday, here is an AWESOME quote I found on LJ that I will copy & paste:
Lawyers/law students: The jury couldn't find that she was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, because the prosecutor/state did not meet its burden of proof - that doesn't mean she was innocent. Yes, this whole thing is tragic but only the jury was fit to make a decision in our justice system.
Non-lawyers: OMG! How can people be so stupid? Guilty guilty guilty!!!!
Feel free to switch "lawyers/law students" with "people who don't let their emotions overcome their logic". Because I'm no lawyer or law student but I definitely fit into that group. :P
That said, watching people fighting on the internet over this is fucking entertaining as all hell. ;)
