I've been staying out of these threads because it just pains me too much. I did want to give one word of advice to those of you who are following this...
Prepare yourself for disappointment. Prepare yourself for a "WTF" moment. Because if you don't there's a chance you're just going to become very, very angry and it's simply not good nor worth it for any of us at this point.
I've said this before, but I think it's worth repeating. This trial has been dragged out as far as it could be. That was done on purpose. It's a charade. The whole intent is to lower the drama, lower the emotions, (you wonder why it's not being covered? it's because its old news to people outside of redskins nation) but more importantly to make people forget things. To give witnesses a chance to forget, or change their story, or otherwise destroy their credibility. It gives the defense a "But he was just a kid, he's an adult now and has learned", it was an accident, defense. It's done to get defendants off or a significantly reduced sentence.
It works. If it didn't it wouldn't be such a prevalent tactic.
