39. That Wasn't My Point

Fri Jul 12, 2013, 06:19 PM

Jul 2013

I had been troubled by the defenses point about the hoodie not being tight to Martin's body and it just now dawned on me that my point creates a reasonable doubt about the defense theory -- so I am looking at it from the opposite direction as you on this matter.

Oh, if it is self defense GZ already got his justice because his attacker is now dead so this trial cannot be about justice for GZ though it will be closure for both GZ and TM's families. On the other hand, if GZ if found guilty of either charge then TM has gotten his justice.
