Please remember when leaving a comment on my blog that all comments are subject to the blog owners discretion. I do believe in freedom of speech, however, that right is not absolute. I will not tolerate hate filled speech or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc. If you have a question or problem with this, please feel free to email me (there is a link to my email above).

Re: Christopher Porco
Please look closely at the picture posted.
Those educated in psychology or even some training
in psychology, will understand what I mean. This picture speaks volumes.
It appears defendant is in disassociate state (removed), and his defense counsel is asborbing the verdict (showing emotions/by expression). It apears defendant has no feelings/remorse… It is a very hard job to defend those accussed, my hats off to everyone involved in the court system– (judges, court reporters, bailiffs,prosicutors, defense attorneys, investigators, police off., legal asst., etc.) for having to see, hear, and understand the true meaning of the entire trail/case.
They all hear, “all” the details, nothing left hiden to court/and reps. of court. Many times judges will ask that “this matter be taken up; outside of the jury.”
And then makes rulings of the court for the jury not be allowed to hear ! These remarks can change the entire trail/case.
Look how many this year has been released from prision due to error, and dna cleared them and set them free.
It is a shame–jury’s should be able to hear everything–”nothing” hidden, good or bad.
In order to make sure our system gets and convicts the right person; everything I feel should be allowed to be heard by the jury, same as court personal get to hear everything. I believe this is important, that the right defendant be tried and not just anyone–to apeaze the families of the crime. It is almost be victimized twice !
