deserteagle, I did not know either Brittany or Bo personally, yet I care about what happened to them. ItÔs an emotional capacity of our humanity to care about people whom we have never met, and I am not ashamed of that. Many people have died sadly and I have been affected. I did not know Jon Benet Ramsey either, nor did most of America, yet people from all over were concerned with what had happened to her.
People have marches and sit-ins when people they believe innocent are sentenced to death. They do not know the people, but they have followed the case. Bo cannot speak for himself and ask for a fair trial. Others must do that.
What we have here is a murder with no witnesses, a hanging appearing to be suicide with no witnesses, and a confession and suicide note written with no witnesses. There is not one person who heard a confession or intent to hang himself from Bo Johnson. His body was found "in late stages of decomposition" and that has to be problematic in terms of reliable forensics.
That is not a slam dunk case.
