So it was part of the case, it just happened after the murder. So again, this points to his guilt. Innocent people don't kidnap others in order to run away. Those are the traits of a guilty man on probation who knows he's going back to jail. When you ran after your friend said run did you kidnap someone? How many innocent people do you really think would kidnap someone?
We're not going to change each other's mind (I guess that rarely happens on boards anyway) or convince each other one of us is right. We can continue to go back and forth or agree to disagree. In any event, I will do the courtesy of reading and replying. Haven't had this lengthy of a conversation on this board in a while.
I'll add, I can understand your position and why you feel the way you do, I just personally disagree. If you want to talk about legal reform including improving on public defenders, then that might be an area where we would agree more.
