This thing is wide open for an appeal.
Those who heard the evidence made a decision. Unless there was material irregularity in how they were directed or the trial process, that verdict should be respected. I certainly prefer it to that of armchair experts who think they are better placed to judge.
Yeah. Let’s wait for the view of the KC who actually represented her at trial on that, shall we?
AP5Diva has posted a lot of useful information and interesting answers, as have you imo.
If you find people’s ideas and speculations annoying, ignorant or baseless, I don’t really understand why you are you on this thread answering?
Of course it is all useless and meaningless in face of the real thing. The point is the discussion and being able to think about all the factors involved, isn’t it? I for one have learnt a huge amount I had no idea about.
I have been on a jury on a serious case and can sadly say neither I nor anyone else was that much more of an expert than anyone here. You also got no transcript of the trial to read over to be certain of the sequencing of the events described and it was difficult to be certain of them before coming to a judgement. The report of some of what had been said was really 3rd hand police report not a recording of a 1st person report. The judge moreover made an egregiously wrong, presumptuous remark directing the jury the about women who have experienced domestic abuse.
I understand that everyone was doing their best but it was not perfect.
This Paris Mayo case is very upsetting and unusual in every way with lots that people would want to think about.
