I do, however, I agree with you on one thing. A lot of people in government certainly have proven themselves to be liars. A look at our current administration and congressional majority is a wonderful illustration.

Take care and have a lovely evening.

PS: I don't know if 9/11 was an inside job, but I'm cynical enough to consider it a possibility and not believe the the 9/11 report filed by the government. Of course they wouldn't file a report incriminating themselves and their system.

Secondly, witnesses to a crime ARE the evidence. That's why it's called 'testimony.' The definition of 'testimony' according to Merriam-Webster is as follows: "Firsthand authentication of a fact; EVIDENCE. . . A solemn declaration usually made orally by a witness under oath in response to interrogation by a lawyer or authorized public official."

I couldn't even begin to guess how many people are now in prison based on the testimony of other people and yes, sometimes innocent individuals are convicted of crimes which they didn't commit. (I'm always glad to see the innocent vindicated.) But it is difficult for me to believe that a Secret Service agent, as well as several NYPD officers, would conspire together to lie about what they witnessed during this incident and commit perjury on the stand just to see this man convicted of assault. If that were the case, why not go all the way and say he tried to kill her?

Do I believe this man should be killed or beaten? No, I do not. Do I believe he should be made to answer for his actions? Yes, I do. Sometimes that response will be called for in a court of law and sometimes it will be called for in the court of public opinion. This time it happened to be both. Obviously the public court was not as forgiving as the legal one.

If juries are so bad, why are they in the Constitution. In my opinion, witnesses don't prove anything without evidence to back them up. Believe what you want but consider what you all are saying. You are all assuming someone is guilty because someone else said they are. There are a substantial amount of people who "witnessed" 9/11 being an inside job, it doesn't mean it is true. I don't have a solid opinion on 9/11 and Bush's involvement. It just upset me to see people calling for this guy's death, beating (on other sites), and harassment and he's not even guilty. Well, not guilty in court at least which is the standard set up in the Constitution.

Truth is an absolute defense to slander and/or libel. The defendant hit this young woman– that is a fact (i.e. the truth). There are multiple witnesses to this incident, none of whom has been arrested for perjury. The MSM itself reported the defendant struck the victim. If these trolls were serious about legal action, they'd be bringing suit against any MSM outlets that reported this story, not penniless bloggers. (Old legal caveat: Don't sue poor people.)
