"I am so sorry Nancy that some people really somehow beleive your husband didn't kill you. They are definitely lacking something..." per dorindarindy

Correct. We're lacking evidence, a fair trial, a non-biased judge, a competant investigation, etc.

It is laughable to think an entire department would join hands to conspire to convict an innocent person. Whether you agree there was enough evidence to convict is one thing, but to think a bunch of officers would risk everything to convict someone just for one stat is unrealistic.

thepeopleschamp Yes, that never happens. Just ask the Central Park Five. Or Randall Adams. Or Cameron Todd Willingham. Whoops! Can't ask him! Or the West Memphis Three.

" He did it, found guilty by his peers not the police,..." Sherlock

Casey Anthony's peers found her not guilty. OJ's peers found him not guilty. What a relief that a jury can never be wrong.

I haven't had time to read the appellate brief yet, for those who have, what do you think his chances are?

FREE BRAD COOPER!!!

"The only lies were made by police and State witnesses"

Not according to defense attorney Kurtz who told the jury in opening statements his client did lie.

"The point is police interview different people including the family and during that they will learn things they could check out as true or not true. If a spouse says things they find out are lies that's going to raise a red flag or 2 and cause a closer looksee." In Decisive

The only lies were made by police and State witnesses.

Finally. Excellent News!!

Finally!! Good luck to Brad and his family. I hope someday he is reunited with his daughters as well. I never believed he killed Nancy. This is excellent news.

The point is police interview different people including the family and during that they will learn things they could check out as true or not true. If a spouse says things they find out are lies that's going to raise a red flag or 2 and cause a closer looksee.

Evidence was tampered with and then submitted as fact. The defense was blocked by a bias judge of disputing this evidence. The trial/investigation was a sham from day one.

i am not 100% sure this man did kill his wife in this case..nor is anyone else posting...assuming don't make it right.....

OK...so the marriage was doomed...but there are a lot of marriages which are doomed...this does NOT PROVE that BRAD killed NC...and even though *domestic violence* was mentioned...there was NO EVIDENCE that Brad was a part of any...they both cheated...but this did not prove Brad was a killer either...there was a lot of *reasonable doubt* throughout the trial...and no *real evidence pointed that Brad was guilty*...the jurors convicted Brad on nothing but an illusion...the 42 second google search which was not proved that Brad did it...how anyone can even begin to think that there was *justice* for anyone is beyond me...innocent people are indicted, tried and convicted on no evidence does nothing to help the judicial system....it only makes things worse...as the real criminals are never found and punished...it was indeed a *tough break* for Brad and it just an injustice to Nancy and her family...
