How could they not find him guilty? There were plenty of witnesses.I am shocked that they actually found him guilty. Not that I think he's innocent but the judicial system in this county baffles me.

He can try anything he wants. I have diabetes. I never killed anyone. I'm glad the animal is going to jail for long time.He was trying to blame it in his diabetes. There were a few medical experts in court. Like the Bowes case, the court will decide whatever they want regardless of the facts. I have no faith in the judicial system here.

Yep. That's the way it works.
What is the point of another hearing for sentencing? Could something change? Can a person request to be sentenced right then and there?
I wonder if any member of the media sat thru his sentencing today. I can't seem to find the "story" anywhere.
