So Weiner gets fired for showing his cock on the internet but a woman can get away with murdering her child. Is there something seriously wrong with this country?

Hellllllll Yesssssss!!! Bump!

Kinda of beyond fucked...

yes, yes there is.

Lmao!! Sad but true. Bullshit.

No comparison, I'm afraid. Weiner was pushed by public opinion. But of necessity, public opinion has no place in the criminal court. Only the opinion of those 12 jurors matters.

So again it goes back to: Does this mean we eliminate trial by jury? One of the rights guaranteed by our Constitution? I don't think any of us would rather be tried by judges or by professionals who could become jaded into believing all are guilty.

It does mean that on occasion the guilty will go free. Sometimes spectacularly so. As Benjamin Franklin stated, "it is better [one hundred] guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer."

I'm surprised as anyone by the verdict. But the fact that this even had to be tried, the fact that a toddler was killed... THAT is far more messed up than our judicial system.

Comparing penis' with murder is definitely not a brilliant angle

No, Imogine, there is no fairness. Anywhere. At some point you will be telling your kids that life isn't fair; this is merely proof, as bitter as it might be.

I think I'm more disturbed that the Sheriff of Orange County just had to tell people to keep the peace post-verdict.

Weiner did not "get fired" and gdiamante put it well.

It breaks my heart, that little girl is gone and now that woman is free to live her life
