That's what you said, Oatie. The criminal verdict was right because Furman lied on the stand and all the forensics and evidence is wiped out, right? Isn't that what you're saying? A police officer denies he said the "N" word and that is so egregious it totally obliterates everything,right?
Again, you are debating yourself. My position is simple conceptually, but evidently beyond your comprehension. The criminal jury had reasonable doubt based on the evidence, and a large part of that reasonable doubt was the veracity of witnesses. There is not right or wrong about a jurors reasonable doubt, and when all 12 find the same, the American Jury system works. The state failed to remove that reasonable doubt from the jury which is their primary job. A different prosecution team, and a different presentation of the evidence might have brought a conviction, but monday quarterbacks will not change the verdict which was not guilty. The civil trial allows a jury to weigh the evidence and 51% of the evidence in favor of the Plaintiff allows them to find guilt. Now go debate yourself some more, but it does not change these realities or concepts about how our system works.
