I was able to verify what you're saying a year ago when I was seated for jury duty in circuit court.

Afterward, I found out the case was made known to the public a year before, and it was nothing like we heard in that court room. Furthermore, evidence and information was deliberately withheld from the jury and the prosecutor only used witnesses that worked for the state.

The moral here is, don't believe anything the alphabet media says on any case, including local stories that never receive mass attention. The opposite what they tell us is usually the truth, and rarely does anyone know those involved behind the scenes to know what really happened. Question authority.
