And the early years of her youngest child's life. In fact, being convicted of killing their little sister couldn't have done a lot for her relationship with her other two children, either.
That whole trial was a fucking disgrace. Every one of those pseudo experts (not to mention the hack who did the forensic work) should have faced trial for perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. The only way this bullshit will stop, is for the courts to start kicking the perpetrators of it in the face.
I can't help wonder where his parents came up with a spare 5700,000. I remember at the time he claimed that his "friends" paid back the "loans" he made to them for purchasing sports memorabilia.
OMG, the Chamberlain trial. STILL a good way to start an argument at an Australian BBQ.
I was all of 14, and young and dumb as I was I could see she'd been convicted on the basis of public opinion and media frenzy, rather than evidence. I remember saying I didn't know whether she was guilty or not, but she sure as hell shouldn't have been convicted. There were people standing on the Courthouse lawn selling T-shirts saying "The dingo is innocent", ffs.
Aka "perjury" and "conspiring to pervert the course of justice". Things won't get better until cops and prosecutors are prosecuted for pulling this bullshit.
You've nailed it on the ableism. People with neurodivergence, facial paralysis, speech problems, hearing difficulties, mental illnesses that affect their reactions to stress...are all going to look and sound different to how they "should", according to these chucklefucks.
The bizarre American habit of electing sheriffs, district attorneys and fucking judges doesn't help. Those are positions of immense power that should only be occupied by politically neutral experts who are immune to popular pressure. Instead, you've set up exactly the opposite. No wonder the system is crap - look at who you've got running it.
So, seriously,.everyone believes that a jury is going to make a conviction, heck, even an arrest, based solely on a 911 call?
Interviews, interrogations, statements, confessions-- they are all based on the spoken word,.and so is 911 analysis. There is nothing voodoo about it.
It's interesting that Brett Murphy from ProRepublica didn't tell both sides of the story, even though he has reports that debunk many of the statements he presents as facts. His reporting is so biased and lacking inquiry that in his "investigation," he does what he accuses Harpster of doing--advancing "junk" journalism.
• What about Susan Adams from the FBI? Why does he refer to her as an 'agent' and not as an earned PH.d with over 40 years of experience?
• Why does he not talk about how he paid $500 to a retired court reporter in Grand Junction, CO to get transcripts off the record, assuring protection and anonymity, and then 'outed' her in order to brag about how good he is and to get 'likes' on Twitter?
• Why does Brett Murphy not tell us the truth about why the Harpster and Adams studies could not be replicated because critical elements were removed in subsequent research?
• Why does Brett Murphy say that he published a story about an investigation in Louisiana? In fact, he WENT to Shreveport at the request of a woman who has been desperately trying to get help with a case in which a corrupt.police department and prosecutor covered up the death of her parent. Instead, Brett allegedly informed her that he doesnt "do" cases like, and left without looking into the facts, OR writing a story.
If it is okay that ProPublica allows their reporters to play this fast and loose with the truth, they have lost my financial support and trust. This story is a sickening example of bias at its worse.
Except for that last part. Regular old cops seem to be very good at getting people to the hospital. Even if they didn't need to go to the hospital before the cops showed up.
My extensive background in paying taxes has led me to develop a system that can determine the likelihood that a person's need for an audit can be directly related to how virulently they warn of any American's tax return being publicized. My specialized course, "Every Accusation Is A Confession," can train any tax official at any level of government how to recognize and interpret these obvious attempts at deflection. At just $4,800.00 per student, the recovered revenues will more than pay for this valuable resource in just a few tax-reporting cycles.
It was his parents. As serious as all his other character flaws are, I find it just as disturbing that he was willing to let people believe something nefarious and corrupt going on when, in reality, it was a fifty-three year-old man who had to run to Daddy, probably not for the first time, for help.
A case went to our state Supreme Court when a cop pulled a guy over for crossing the solid white line on the right getting off an exit ramp. You can guess the colors of the participants. The SC agreed to hear it because it came out in the trial that this white cop's arrest rate in a heavily white rural county was over 50% black.
My brother would drive home for holidays from Houston to Ohio. The moment he crossed the border into Ohio, he'd set the cruise control for two miles under the speed limit and use his turn signals scrupulously when changing lanes. He'd still get pulled over. Single guy in a pickup with out-of-state plates? Pull him over on any pretext and hold him there until you can bring the drug-sniffing dog out.

And if the CT scan results differ from the dog's, he has to go with the dog.

Mine holds the attitude that you can't be too numb.

Mind, Mr Harpy WAS a *police* chief .
