Consider Your Verdict
Brian V. Moore
I'd have hated to be tried in these courts of nonsense; regardless of the lack of evidence, one could be convicted or cleared of murder. It makes me wonder if these cases are missing important details that are not being shared with the radio audience. One detail missing is the reason the jury came to their conclusion. In "Case Against Peter Holmes", why would a lack of carbon monoxide in the dead man's lungs mean a thing - because death was made to look as if it was caused by the inhalation of household gas?
