Sentenced to 60 years with no evidence. Well, except for the (refuted) testimony of a fine, upstanding citizen. Holy crap. And people still think the death penalty is a good idea?
Jailhouse informants are pretty much the definition of suborning perjury. I guess there might be some set of controls that would reduce the likelihood of false testimony to an acceptable level, but I don’t know what that would be.
I am against the death penalty for sure, but frankly if life in prison is now not an option, the world would be a better place if this asshole had been executed, not released back into society. He already confessed to two other attacks in the same park (and those same women said he was definitely the attacker in court, and held a knife to their faces), he did not show up for work the day Levy was killed, and his landlord said that same day he had scratches and bruises on his face. He’s a POS, not a poster child for trying to get rid of the death penalty.
Why is Mr. Condit not pushed back on the list now that the prosecutors case was determined to be utter bullshit?
A jail house snitch probably tells the truth 0.69 more times than that douche bague Trump. Pardon my French.
They just dumped this case on the next available suspect. Same as the anthrax case.
Pretty sure he was ruled out as a suspect during the initial investigation.
There seems to be a part of “against the death penalty” that you don’t understand.
It’s simple. Against the death penalty = Never.
He was ruled out initially. This jerk did it, but the problem is they have no concrete evidence to convict him. But since he did attacks on two others with knives in the same area, did not show up for work the day of the murder and had scratch marks and bruises all over him the same day, I’d say he did it. Conviction is harder though. Don’t forget it was over a year before her body was found. No DNA evidence, etc.
