I'd been following this case. There was absolutely no way they were ever going to erase reasonable doubt, seeing as there was no body, no confession, and no original police notes. Good grief. The prosecutor was banking entirely on the old razzle-dazzle to freak out the jury enough that they wouldn't care whether she actually did anything illegal at all. What I wonder is how he did his jury selection. "Hello, Mr.... Smith. So tell me, have you ever engaged in or known anyone to engage in any sort of devient sexual behaviors? Sort of? You're free to go home. Next."
