Witness Evidence

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Turn it around:  A person with whom you've had acrimonious exchanges is found shot dead.  The gun is registered to you.  Your fingerprints are on the gun, the bullets, and the victim's throat.  A sheet of paper in your handwriting is found at the scene (with your prints on it), reading, 'I'm glad I killed the bastard.'  Also, your left shoe (monogrammed) is found at the scene.  When the police arrest you, they find the spent shell casings in your pocket, and these casings match the gun, the bullets, and the wounds on the victim's body.  Traces of the victim's blood are found on your clothing, you fail the GSR test.

But I turn up at the police station and loudly proclaim that you were with me the whole time.  This is eyewitness testimony.  Should the police release you?

Since I have very strong feelings about my innocence, they should disregard all that so-called physical "evidence," and accept the testimony of my eyewitness.  Then they should call my mom and ask her if SHE thinks I could do it, because like everyone else most of my world view comes from my parents, and I could not be a murderer unless she made me one.

So if Mom says "He couldn't have done it," and shows sufficient conviction in this belief, the jury must acquit.  Because in a religious world, that's how things work.

Curses! benny plays the Mum card. *gnashes teeth and twirls mustache in frustration*
