[QUOTE="ezrider, post: 55054"] <font color="0000ff">Why can't the lawmakers go by the cardinal rule of Keep It Simple Stupid</font> Quebec driver It would be ideal if real life worked that way, but the reality is that it's never that simple when matters go into the courtroom. The court of public opinion doesn't determine guilt or innocence in any case and for good reason. The general public often doesn't immerse themselves in the actual facts but only looks at headlines in the paper or a few sound bites on T.V. Almost every comment I've read from the actual jury members from this case stated that the evidence just wasn't there to convict. And after having seen the accuser's mother up close the jurors had ample reason to be skeptical. Trying to sway a jury with emotional testimony is a risky tactic for a prosecution to employ when there isn't much in the way of hard evidence and the mother's own lack of credibility ended up becoming an issue because of her terrible performance on the stand. If I was living out there, I think I'd find the prosecution guilty of wasting taxpayer money on on a case brought by what looks like a scam artist pimping out her kid in an effort to hit the jackpot. Like "Wacko Jacko" or hate him, the jury made the right call. [/QUOTE]
