You act like she has already been found guilty. To demonstrate If you don't know what can actually happen in our court system, let me relate this actual case I was a juror on.
An indictment was issued after stolen property was recovered from the top of the china closet in the accused's house. Clearly the goods were in the person's house.
At the trial the defense pointed out that the china closet was in the common hallway that fed the doors of all of the the nine apartments in a house, where thirteen other people lived. No finger prints were taken at either location involved, so nothing additional tied the defendant to the crime.
I later talked to one of the GJ members, and they said the prosecutor's presentation of supporting circumstantial evidence (not admitted), and related projections by him, led them to go along with the prosecutor, and indict. Also, the majority didn't think a prosecutor would bring a charge if the person wasn't guilty.
The judge was not very happy. I could hear the chewing.

Very easily the same situation here.

What is scary is that that prosecutor is now a judge in the same courtroom.


Sorry Heels, this is in support of your post, just realized I typed it on the wrong post. Should have been a reply to thndr65. LC
