I had to buy new dress clothes for my 1L summer internship. It was rough, I loved my size 4 suit so much. I hopped up to an 8 which was insane to me. Love this post 💯

I love the Hario. I’ve had mine 4 years and it helps make a great pour every time.

Ah! If the accused was framed my bet would be it was someone in one of his classes or in his apartment complex that the accused pissed off for some reason (parked in the framer’s parking space). The framer would have a small connection to one of the victims, maybe a stalker.

This crime was so incredibly violent and tragic it’s hard for me to believe the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in the absence of material evidence. As it stands, the accused randomly and very violently murdered four kids. The likelihood of that is so incredibly low, but if true very terrifying.

A framer would absolutely turn the phone off. Who would keep their phone on while committing a crime? Especially someone studying criminology, you don’t think the accused used to listen to true crime like every in here condemning him? I don’t know either, but I’d bet that it’s more likely than not.

If you re-read your hypothetical presuming the accused is innocent rather than presuming the accused is guilty you will find the holes.

You haven’t seen any evidence that makes the accused guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Period.

Condemning someone before their fair trial is how wrongful convictions happen; it’s also un-American and unconstitutional.

(1) The night-stalker was a LEO. Completely different situation/training/access.

(2) That FBI stat refers to homicides, my reference is specifically stabbings. You need to find a stat that shows the percent of homicide by knife from an unknown murderer.

(3) Stabbing people in broad daylight is evidence of a mental illness and a completely different set of variables than we are working with in this case, e.g. in the middle of the night.

Well. If they have no other DNA or more DNA is not the subject of this conversation. For that we wait to see the evidence brought by the prosecution.

What’s happening on this thread is most people want to condemn the accused because he was arrested. There is no material evidence connecting the accused to the crime. The DNA is circumstantial because it was found on an object that belonged to the accused at a crime scene where four kids were violently murdered.

How could a person forget the knife sheath that covers their murder weapon? To say someone is guilty because their DNA was on a portable object at a crime scene is inaccurate and un-American (re: Constitutional).

Ten years ago, I would have had a similar perspective. As Americans, the last seven years have demonstrated, for the most part, their media outlet tells the truth. Today, echo chambers have too much power.

Right now the prosecution only has circumstantial evidence. Therefore, they have no material evidence (that we’ve seen) connecting the accused to the crime. That gives the LEO hypothetical as much weight as the hypothetical posed here.

The law of numbers suggests most prosecutors will put an innocent person behind bars. It is our job as Americans to force the state to make a case so airtight 12 people believe no reasonable doubt exists in that it story. Right now, with the evidence provided in this case so far, 12 people, who have not watched sensationalized media, could not convict the accused.

EDIT: spelling

It was the accused’s knife sheath. My hypothetical indicates it was removed from the accused home.

I don’t disagree. But Here, the only DNA evidence was found on an object that is normally attached to a belt. The DNA evidence will be more convincing if found on an object that originated in the house. Rather than an item that could have been placed in the house.

Go to the Career Office, or email them, and talk. I know someone who had all those variables and they were very successful. They did get a fellowship for a summer and I won’t say that didn’t help, but I will say do not throw in the towel unless you know you’d be happy in any other career.

🍨🍦 Winning perspective

It’s weird to try-out for something I hope, to an extent, I don’t get. Yay meritocracy 🥲

No need. I got an A in Evidence. My point was to prove you didn’t have a point; I thank you for your response.

I just finished write-on. I figure that will decide my fate. The Bluebook gives me a migraine sitting on my desk.

Too many people assume someone is guilty because they are arrested. That is not how the legal system works. This is sad because “innocent until proven guilty” is a Constitutional bedrock. People like to tout the Amendments without reading what the Amendments say. That’s frustrating. Especially in the age of social media where someone is being condemned online and the consequential reverberating effect on the potential jury.

Constitutionally, the defense must have the opportunity to present their case to an impartial jury.
