As I mentioned in a prior post concerning the Karr – Ramsey case, liberals have a point in terms of letting the judicial process play out before accepting a “defendant’s” guilt or innocence.

From the right wing we hear language such as “the rights of the victim vs. the rights of the criminal”. The problem is that without a conviction we are dealing with a “defendant” not a criminal!

Today the case against Karr was dropped. Remember this guy even confessed to the crime! He may be weird, he may have other legal problems. Yet even with a confession that does not prove him guilty of the Ramsey Crime without a proper trial. Armed with new methods of DNA identification the prosecutor’s office has determined his DNA does not match! Naturally it would have been nice if they ran a DNA test first! But what the hell who says incompetence has to be limited to just the federal govenment?

As I mentioned before what would have happened if some detective decided to engage in some “evidence enhancement”? Some would say “oh maybe so but the guy confessed”! Well this case proves that people can confess for psychological reasons even apart from being intimidated! Therefore I believe that if the evidence is tampered with the case should be dropped. We pay a far higher price if we allow the police to become our judges! That would be a “police state”! We have to follow the law. Liberals may allow some real criminals to escape justice but that is the price we pay for a democratic judicial system. However PC liberals go to far the other way.

    • My problem with PC liberals is what about those who are convicted and really are criminals.
    • What about our streets where justice has cut and run leaving the elderly to be prisoners in their own homes due to fear of street crime.
    • Why would PC Liberals condemn GI Joe action figures as a youth role model and pooh pooh rap music’s frequent glorification of crime?
    • What type of role models is this krap music creating for our young? Oh dear me now I did it!

Lets throw out the orthodoxy of the right wing along with the new orthodoxy of “political correctness”. Time for the Silent Majority, America’s great middle class and those who aspire to be, to stand up and reclaim America!
