As a "lawyer" you want all the facts to come to light, ok. But at what time does physical evidence, doctor documentation and admission of the act itself not constitute all the facts? Is there something that we are missing in this that would magically mean he didn't beat his kid with a switch until he raised welts? Your assumptions are ludicrous, and I have serious doubts that you are, in fact, a lawyer.
Ha ha. Go to Dawgman.com. I have over 5,000 posts, and I go by "HuskyLawyer." Created my account over 10 years ago. I comment on legal issues all the time, so I must be an incredible fraudster to do that for over 10 years. Went to U-Dub undergrad, Michigan Law School, worked at Perkins Coie (the largest last firm in the State of Washington), and now I co-own a small 7 attorney IP law firm (that litigates). So now we can dispense with the, "I have serious doubts that you are a lawyer." That's played out. If you need a resume, send me a PM
Yes, we have pictures, and an apparent admission. But that doesn't mean, "go to directly to jail, do not pass go." Peterson has a right to be judged "by his peers." Guess who those peers are? The people from Texas who will be on the jury. I would not assume that a bunch of Texans will instantly say, "guilty." They might very well say, "AP got carried away, but it should not be a crime." AP has one of the best trial lawyers in the country representing him (Hardin). Hardin reprsented Clemens (acquitted), Steve Francis from the NBA (acquitted), the list goes on. Hardin has a everyman Southern style that resonates with juries. Also keep in mind that a grand jury DECLINED TO INDICT prior to the Ray Rice situation. That means a grand jury, which normally can "indict a ham sandwich" decided that charges should not be brought. However, it is my understanding that the prosecutor re-submitted after Ray Rice fiasco, so he got the indictment. So it wasn't a "case closed" by any stretch of the imagination.
Everyone should know now that pictures, videos, and even admissions don't necessarily equate to guilt in a criminal proceeding. As I said before, I thought the LAPD unlawfully beat the @#$@$@ out of Rodney King, and they had video. They were acquitted. YOU may think this is "case closed" but anyone with experience in the legal system knows that rarely are things black/white.
