I was reading this article and the way the prosecutors acted reminded me of
, 
, or 
(from the first game) trying to pin the murder on someone who was clearly innocent...they even forgot to establish a motive for crying out loud!And the man clearly was innocent! Neighbors claimed he was almost saint-like and just two weeks ago, he saved his baby from a burning trailer!
This made me mad

Yes but, it's also possible that he didn't, plenty of doubt remained from what we could tell in the article because nobody gave any substantial evidence to really prove anything...I can't believe the judge already made the verdict!...

Emphasis mine.
If you only have one article to go on, how can you truly make a balanced judgment?

And how, pray tell, do you know this?
Like I said, it's one article. You can't make an informed opinion if you're only getting one side of the story.

i hope the prosecutors had deadly decisive evidence, because there's no motive or confession.

Witnesses: He's a great person! Here's a ton of personal anecdotes showing how great he is.
Prosecutor: He's a horrible person! He killed his wife! Therefore, he killed his wife.
Witnesses: Okay, but here's all these places he's volunteered at. See? He is a good person!
Prosecutor: We can only judge people based on their actions, like their volunteering, and not just on those personal anecdotes. However... *shows picture of crime scene* this is his action, killing his wife! He's a horrible person! Therefore, he killed his wife.
Witnesses: But he loved his son so much! He would never do something like this to his son!
Prosecutor: He didn't love his son that much. After all, he killed his wife! Therefore, he killed his wife.
>_>
Anyway, the article really makes it out that he's innocent, but ignoring his character (although looking at his character, it seems pretty unlikely he'd do something like this... but didn't they talk about exactly this on the first trial day of 3-5?) evidence doesn't seem too great on either side. I mean, we have that wire cut on the window (or something) which could show that someone invaded the house, but he could've cut it himself to make it look like there was an intruder. However, they didn't talk about a lot of things, such as any injuries from the supposed attack the previous day, the murder weapon, the gloves, if his parents heard anything, etc. Also, the fact that no motive is a big thing, but they they separated at one point, so they obviously had some issue or something.
Either way, it's pretty sad that such a great guy would either be punished for a horrible crime he did not commit, or that such a great guy would commit such a horrible crime.

Wait.... clearly innocent of this murder because he once saved a baby?
Haha oh you kids, so naive.
Doing nice things doesn't automatically make you innocent of murder

They were building a case for the jury. Who are you going to feel more sympathetic for: the guy who rescued his family from a burning building or the one who sat there and watched them burn?
Anyway, in another article, it said that the guy gave details that didn't match up with what police found, and that his father (or father-in-law, I forget which) had just begun to install some more security stuff in their home.

What's weird about this, however, was that he had saved his wife--the murder victim--from that same fire. So it definitely seems odd that he would turn around and kill her. Still, you can't say for positive that he didn't do it.

Turns out the fire and his wife were having an affair.
He just didn't find out about it until now.
Then he killed his wife.

But then again apparently we're not popular with America just now.
Still they have witnesses saying he's a good man and this never would've happened. He was attacked in a barn or so he claimed. I can't see how they can let this fly without any evidence or witnesses.

You DO realize that this also applies to America, right? :/
Anyway, they must've had SOME evidence to convict him. People aren't just convicted for no reason.

Nope did not realise that, but I'm not sure still seems mighty odd to me but all the artical gives us is a story the prosecution made up.

Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to sound rude there.
And I have to agree that it sounds odd, and the article does lead me to believe that he MIGHT have been wrongfully convicted. Still, saying that he's "clearly innocent" strikes me as being quite naive.

It's still highly unlikely he did it though. Even so, a life sentence just isn't fair.

...............Touche yes I do live in Ireland and i've studied the countrys legal system for a few years.
We are increadibly leanient on major crimes such as murder and drug abuse and we are increadibly harsh on petty crimes such as street trading without a traders licence.
So uh I wasnt making any assumptions at all over hear he would have been treated like a prince for what he did.
Also i'm sorry if I came accross as rude.
Nothing.

Same here, I apologise. I meant the making assumptions thing as a general comment. And I agree we are too focused on street crime over here
