""I think this one needs a second look. I'm not convinced he's guilty." --- itsmyownopinion Unless you were on the jury and heard all of the evidence, you don't need to be convinced. Only the jury does."

What a ridiculous statement. We all need to be concerned about this. A woman gets murdered and then a neighbor points to the husband. Cops go all in on the husband...destroy evidence..possibly tamper with evidence...judge does not allow key defense evidence in. We all need to be very concerned about this...it could happen to anyone

"I think this one needs a second look. I'm not convinced he's guilty." --- itsmyownopinion Unless you were on the jury and heard all of the evidence, you don't need to be convinced. Only the jury does.

He deserves a new trial. They did not even prove he was in town. At least if they found him guilty they have to prove he was in town. Total miscarriage of "lack" of justice. Certainly he probably had motive but you cant convict people because they have a motive. If that were true thousands of people would be in jail. superman

Superman, you aren't even speaking to this case! Of course Brad Cooper was 'in town', he was home with his daughters, seen on video tape from the local grocery store, and spoken to on the phone numerous times, the *house* phone. He was proven guilty.

bradcooper deserves a new trial at the least,investigation was full of errors,cant believe how bad brads lawyer was,and how bad the judge was.I dont know if he is guilty or not but this trial didnot prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt

Great proof: Unless Nancy ate an onion before her "run" she was killed during the night.

What?

Bravo to the State of NC! As proven at trial, this man needs to be kept in jail. Read the state's brief (the link is in the second paragraph) for a MASS of evidence against him. Even if the police weren't perfect here or there, the guy still murdered his wife. Great proof: Unless Nancy ate an onion before her "run" she was killed during the night.

I think this one needs a second look. I'm not convinced he's guilty.

I am a conservative, but this trial shows that the government has too much power. I think he was innocent.

One of the worst most unfair trials I have ever followed or read about. I don't know if Mr. Cooper is guilty but I am positive that the Judge, prosecutor, and LEO's are guilty as sin.

They did not even prove he was in town. ========================================

Are you talking about Cooper or Jason Young?
