Sorry Jon, may I suggest that, based on your last comments, you may have a reading problem?

In a nutshell, if there is a logical case to be made, I am interested. But, if logic is not used to support this case, expect someone to say so. Include me in the "someone" catagory.

Saying that it is a fact that the USA legal and law enfoprcement system is corrupt (ya know it's common knowledge), therefore this guy must be innocent does not pass a logic test.

Just because some parts of the legal and law enforcement system is corrupt, that doies not mean that one can conclude it all is. It does mean that we should build that knowledge into our decuision making process.

Maybe the guy is innocent,maybe the court was right? The proof would be in this legal case, not in another one.
