. and I’ve seen people OR’d for Heroin. I think it is based on what they think the perp can come up with.
They should either release him to the victims family or lock him up and throw away the key. What a sick P.O.S.
a good lawyer can get ANYONE off…

american ju$tice…
(don’t forget the “presumed innocent” part…
just for the halibut)
I was a juror on a trial of a man accused of a similar crime. After a 2 week trial the jury found the man not guilty in a very short deliberation. It is not helpful to anyone to jump to conclusions before evidence is heard. That is why our justice system says “innocent til PROVEN guilty beyond a reasonable doubt”. And for the record, the accused did not have a high priced attorney. He was represented by a public defender.
