I was once charged with felony assault and battery when I wasn't even there, didn't know the event even happened. The police had me convicted and prosecutor talking about a plea deal all off of 1 witness.

That was a mess that I do thank baby Jesus for my rights. So you never know.

Was the witness or accuser a woman?

You must have at least one example in mind that prompted you to make this statement. Please share that example.

I'd wager a bet that most anything predating surveillance cameras, FLIR cameras, interwebs, or modern forensic investigation techniques probably saw folks get fried with less evidence.

No, another dude. The guy that was assaulted didn't know who did it. There was bad blood between us and we had had a tussle or two in the past. The 1 witness just assumed it had to be me. I was at the lake 20 miles away.

The police refused to even listen to the people I was with, said they were just covering for me since we were friends. There were over 50 people there!

Whatever floats the boat. As a person who doesnt commit any crimes I could give two ****s about how the government deals with criminals.

Until you get wrongfully accused of a crime, then you'll want to make sure the system is fair.

Even today that happens, look at that happened to Scott Peterson. He was convicted and is on death row with zero physical evidence.

Thanks for playing and for deciding to pick out a case in which an individual was, as is widely believed, wrongly convicted and executed.

I understand now why it is that you did not want to share your example.

Note: I wish I would have responded after you then edited your post to include the WMD charges against Dzhokhar. Please tell me you are not serious in thinking that IEDs are WMD and that this charge will carry a conviction.

So you agree with me now that I did in fact have a case in mind "that prompted you(me) to make this statement." But instead of admitting that your post calling me a bald faced liar is a bold faced lie and apologizing for it, you now want to make the case I had in mind into another argument. The fact is that people have been sentenced to death on far less evidence than is known to exist in this case. Now, are you going to admit you were wrong and apologize like a rational man or continue to act like a crazy man?

"No, I do not, so instead I will deflect and hope nobody else realizes that I was just caught in a bald-faced lie."

No, I do not. I think you had no case in mind when you made the statement. Then, I think you rushed and quickly Googled for a case where there was not much evidence, which lead you to support your cause with a case in which it is reasonably argued that the defendant was wrongly convicted (a case that does not help in pushing and hoping for Dzhokhar to be convicted here on "more evidence"). Now, this is an inference I am making; but, it is either that or you are even more stupid than I previously thought.

No, I still think you are a bald-faced liar.

I do think that people have been sentenced to death on less evidence; I think it is rare, and further, the case that I am thinking of (Peterson), is a case in which I think the accused was wrongly convicted.

Answer is...continue to act like a crazy man!

Not familiar with DP, I was doing alot of work over there during the SP trial and heard/saw a bunch about it. No blood, no weapon, no physical evidence as I remember.

DP was convicted based on hearsay as admitted by jury members..which is pretty shady.

The acquittal had more to do with the jury.

Always going to be hard to find what many would consider a "competent" jury in such a high-profile case. The jury for Dzhokhar will be similarly incompetent to that of OJ.

However, the prosecution was lame and how they allowed the glove incident is beyond me.

They introduced the glove as evidence. The defense simply said, "Well, if that is OJ's glove, it has to fit him...right?"
