Re: On the "Bad Character" Lineage
What you need to convict someone is (1) evidence of a crime, (2) an "enraged" jury and then (3) demonstrations of the "bad character" of the accused. You don't know what you're talking about, again. I sat on a murder trial as a juror; I took an active role in the discussions of ...
