....don't think they should have brought this to trial -- cameo's cell phone records/tower information was exculpatory -- shows he wasn't in that area during the time of the murders.
Whoa, I hadn't heard that.
Now, that I've overcome my initial surprise, I agree with LC that the judge did the right thing. Nobody should be brought to trial with such a flimsy (and amateur) presentation as this. If the phone record thing is correct, it makes it all the worse. That said, not counting these phone records, I believed he was there. What Mustang proposed about about Cousino being diabolical enough to plant the butt is very plausible, to me. It was a lame case, due to lousy prosecutors, and if the judge hadn't granted the motion, reasonable doubt should have ruled the day (but you never know with a jury).
This is MESSED UP. Whatever happens with Williams, Lisa's and Johnny's killers are still out there.
(edit) Pico, I forgot to ask what an Alford plea is.
