  Do you even know what those words mean? Why do you even want a legal hearing when this was a clear case murder. He’ll be convicted for murder. Because that’s what happened. And the law is rigid in that.

  I think you meant you want to see no sentencing. That’s up to the courts. But there’s no way he isn’t guilty of murder. The only reason we’re all up in arms saying “good” is because the person who was murdered may have quite frankly deserved it.

    What a weird thing to say. Do you know what they mean? Because it sounds like you don’t.

    prosecute: To initiate or conduct a criminal case against.

    convict: To find or prove (someone) guilty of an offense or crime, especially by the verdict of a court.

    Human laws are not like… immutable laws of nature. Only a jury can decide if he’s guilty or not, and they can just… say he isn’t.
