That's a good question, but there were things that convicted him, not in a court of law, but in my mind. It was almost as though all three of the men who testified to the 'jerky guy's' involvement(I'm sorry, I cant remember his name) were still a little afraid of him, they all had trouble making eye contact and holding it. I still think there could be alot more to this. I know its not hard evidence, its just the reactions of the people around him and the accused self assurance that he would get off, he NEVER appeared afraid at all...why? -- Close to Harm: James Conlon

My opinion of him is based on the fact that it seemed to be an accepted fact among all the men who knew him in college that he offered them drugs, broadcast his plans to use them and had no qualms about carrying them out. The fact that the woman had no recollection of him at all was to me to big of a burden for the prosecution to overcome without more than just the testimony of the other guy that raped her to tie him to the actual incident. So justice actually was served if it means that sometimes guilty people go free so that the rights of the innocent are protected from being convicted on to little evidence.
