OK, so if a preponderance of the evidence says he's innocent of any wrongdoing, can somebody explain why the Coffee County Persecutor was trying to convict him of murder? |

Well Mickey, most likely because the prosecutor in this case wasn't representing the State within the confines of the law as written, but rather as he, personally, would like it to be. Too many judges and prosecutors have this mindset: they are activists for specific political positions, not neutral functionaries. After all, "shall not be infringed" has morphed into "may be infringed at the whim of politicians, prosecutors, and the courts". |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
