Again, not a surprise. But that still does not mean humanity should skip due process.

I think people might forget that Trump put out a full page ad targeting the "Central Park 5" only to have them exonerated years later.

I am not arguing this boyfriend is innocent. From the looks of it, at face value, it is highly likely he did it. 

I hate that Casey Anthony was acquitted. But when a jury comes up with a "not guilty" verdict, they are not really saying that they didn't do it. In legal terms at the most, it means the state failed to prove it's case.

In the case of this women, I'd bet my life this guy did it. But that does not mean we should skip due process. 

In the long term, in terms of decades and centuries, the attitude has always been to avoid vigilantism. 

It isn't enough in legal terms to simply state the obvious. It may be obvious in reality, but that does not mean you can skip putting the obvious through court and jury review. If we scrap that review, then we might as well be the Taliban. The truth is, that our justice system hurts minorities and the poor at a far higher rate than the white middle class. I don't argue for this guy because he is white. I argue for process regardless.
