COULD YOU CONVICT THIS FATHER? David Barajas Murder Trial

[Midwest Spy]

As a prosecutor, do you really want to throw the book at somebody who experienced this? You don't want vigilante justice, but, the drunk driver essentially executed two young children, and there should be consequences.

Sounds to me -- from the testimony that Duchess just posted -- that the local cops involved don't feel as strongly about it as I do, which is a bit strange (though I'm sure that accident scene was absolutely heart-breaking and horrifying). Sounds like they turned a blind eye to vigilante justice and one lost his job over it.

HotD, looking at things clinically can surely be different than being at the scene, where emotions are raw.

If those cops had kids and they saw what was left of those two boys, they may have said, "I'll get fired before I provide testimony that convicts this father."

It's really not that hard to fathom.

Is it 'right'?

Hard to say.
