From the radio feeds I heard, many of the local crime beat reporters said that the "unreliable testimony of Bell's friends" (I am using a kind phase) hurt the case.

BTB, Rev Al is involved in another police shooting case in NY metro area.
An off duty local officer was shot and killed by four County Officers.
Rev Al got involved even before it was publicly announced that the victim was black. The four County Officers are mixed group.

I knew that someone on the A train was bound to pull in soon...and right on time.

Jon...go back and read some of the posts here too...

I have, I will. You should as well

IMVHO, too many people are confusing emotional issues (which can in some ways be justified) with legal matters and issues.
A train????

To answer your question....with a question....why do you think this trial was done without a jury....?

Yeah, that was referred to as a "risky" choice by the defendants at first... uh, no, they must have known a jury would be much more likely to put them in the slammer for decades while a single judge is much easier to, oh, let's just say, "convince".

The same kind of jury known in NY for giving very high awards in Property & Casualty cases.

I would rather have the evidence and witness convince me.

Still not clear about A train comment.

I do know that answer-while I many have only stayed once or twice in a Holiday Inn Express my Dad was a litigator. He argued in front of the USSC.

However that is only one of many issues involved in this case.

When it pulls in again.. I will make it clear for ya...hehehe!

I was asking the question in part because I think the reason why no jury was involved, (unlike the Amadu Diallo case) was because of the possibility that emotions would have ruled instead of what you had mentioned

I think we may actually be on the same page.
BTB, just which train are you waiting for?

And I thought that the Metro lines were Red, Blue, Yellow et al....

This has just literally made me sick to my stomach.....I'm lost for words at the present moment...
