NFL-er Aaron Hernandez Convicted

As different as football and soccer

[As mod]If a comparison between the two cases is made, then as long as the focus is on Aaron Hernandez's brush(es) with the law, the posts would probably stay.[/as mod]

Personally, I can see very few points of similarity between the two cases, so drawing a comparison may be a little difficult.

Agatha,

Yes, the two cases are very different, and my comments indicated exactly that sentiment. I agree with Stellafane that the OP invited the comparison (or contrast).

Points of comparison between cases of wrongful conviction are essential to sway public opinion in the direction of facts and science, and to persuade them that highly paid members of the judiciary and highly paid prosecution lawyers are anathema to the pursuit of justice. There are countless cases referenced on ISF that prove beyond any doubt that negatively remunerated volunteers are the custodians of the real knowledge. This will not change quickly, but by 2025 it will.

No one could believe this woman would not look in the box.

I don't find this all that unbelievable.

I don't find this all that unbelievable.

The problem comes when you look at her statements from the start. She's been inconsistent and even contradicts herself on several occasions.

Back to the box. Why then would she feel the need to put the box in a plastic bag and cover it with "baby clothes"? She also drove around in order to find a random dumpster far from her home. The jury after the trial also mentions her as a not very convincing person.
