Only the LA case to wriggle out of and you're back home, Harv!
Amazing how much justice money can buy....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
My first thought was that in order to overturn a case against HIM, the trial itself must’ve been an absolute travesty of justice. Perhaps I am wrong, who really knows.
But along the lines of how much justice money can buy (state resources are essentially infinite), I read that it will be definitely re-tried.
Well he doing 16 years in Cali so he's not going anywhere soon. The main grounds of the the (so far) successful appeal seem to be that the prosecution introduced too much evidence from victims of his that were not complainants in the trial which seems pretty reasonable as it goes.
Still, if he was Harry Smith who worked in a bar and had somewhow done the same things I doubt he would have had such a long and fruiful engagement with the notoriously fair and just U.S. system /sarc.
The normal outcome in the vast majority of these appeals, at least when it's some Black geezer who can't afford benches full of lawyers, is, "Yes, this was a legal mistake BUT it wouldn't have altered the jury's verdict" so appeal denied. Read Clive Stafford Smith on how often this is trotted out or even better, "Barred: Why the Innocent Can't Get Out of Prison" by Daniel Medwed for a mind boggling look at how the odds are stacked against the defendant.
It's noticeable they haven't employed this standard here although I can't see him getting off at the retrial so it's probably going to be meaningless but you never know....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
