@lillycoyote Looking at this particular crime, the murder was violent. There was a massive amount of DNA evidence recovered at the scene. There was not ony trace of DNA from AManda in the entire room, nor on the victim’s body. In fact, there was no physical evidence of any kind indicting she had anything to do with it. The prosecutor told the jury that she definitely did it. The jury and even the judge in the case watched TV and tabloid coverage making Amanda out to be a lurid sex fiend who committed a grisly crime because she was drug and sex crazed. They believed that story and ignored the fact that in such crimes, it is virtually impossible to leave no DNA evidence, clothing fibers, or anything behind.
I am not saying she is innocent. I am just saying she certainly hasn’t been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. And I would say the same if it was Hugo Chavez’s mistress on trail and the facts introduced in evidence were the same. The nationality of the accused has no earthly bearing on guilt or innocence.
