Now you switch to how the accident happened.

Did I? Not once do I mention 'how' the accident happened. All I said is what I had been saying all along, the accident caused the car to go in the water. Check and mate.

Its a key reason, yes. But that does not make it the ONLY reason.

Oh really? What caused the accident? The low guard rail or the drunk driver? Without the accident the fact that the guard rail was too low (in your expert opinion) is irrelevant. Furthermore, it could…

The reason I mentioned my apprehension about 60 year old evidence is that it is a well-established fact that the Soviets were engaged in fabricating evidence to try and discredit those who did not support them. Criminal investigations from the 1940s or 50s and those conducted now are worlds apart…

Mob-like mentality? By my count there are about 8-9 posters who think this punishment is fair or not harsh enough and 5-6 who think it's too harsh. Personally, I think 20 years is too much. After he was sentenced to 7 years I posted a comment that 10-12 would…

Then why not just state that you don't agree with the sentence and that the law should be changed because it is too harsh instead of repeatedly trying to mitigate this man's responsibility for his crimes?

He didn't indirectly cause the children's deaths, he directly caused it. Saying that the…

Let me add: I too, hope he receives a fair trail and that those who presume his guilt (of whom there are many, it would seem) do not sway the courts decision.

Fair by following the rules and fair as in just are two completely different things.

that seems to indicate that at one time in this discussion, you were suggesting...

Sorry, you are making inferences there. I never said that there should be a statue of limitations for murder (twice now).…

likeitis, LOL! The point I was making was that you had NO argument. You state over and over that he didn't intentionally kill the children and therefore doesn't deserve a 20 year jail sentence. Ignoring all the while that the sentence for unintentionally killing someone IS 20 years in jail…

likeitis, make the same arguments as many times as you want. I remember when the original sentence was handed down you argued that 7 years was also too much. Your argument at the time was 1) the water killed the kids 2) low guard rails and 3) you cannot be…

Right, so I'm to understand that being wrongly convicted is fair. A trail can never be fair if an innocent person is convicted of a crime. Whether they followed the rules during trail is besides the point.

I would also like you to point out to me exactly when I…
