Just finished listening to you live outside the courthouse. What a crazy trial. So much bias from the judge and prosecution. Not a level playing field at all. I hope to god you both get off. You guys seemed much better prepared than the prosecution, and still they got the breaks. Typical. Little man fighting a giant. You are on the right…

Reminds me of pre-civil rights times. Loved what you wrote in the last Simple Heart entry - focus on things that really matter. Couldn't agree more. Thanks for all you do. You're a hero.
Coleen, I thought the very same thing as I listened. Good thing I had my microphone off as I kept yelling at my iPad. It is hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that this even went to trial, but even more, that it is a criminal trial! This is insanity! I thought Wayne was brilliant in his closing statement. I also thought how corrupt our judicial system is, where you have such blatant bias, impossible to ignore. So much for an impartial and fair trial! When we have lost the impartiality in out courtrooms, they become useless. We can no longer say that justice is blind.
Yes it makes one lose faith in the justice system when one side can initially buy the verdict. It is too evident in this case. Wayne was brilliant in staying calm through it all. It’s just wrong. It wasn’t a fair trial. What kind of trial doesn’t let you present evidence, and gives you names of the jury on the morning of trial on a first name basis only? I could go on but you get the point.
This whole thing is a sham! I was completely blown away when I heard the FBI was involved! A criminal trial with the FBI involved for rescuing two tiny, sick piglets from a company owned by Communist China! We have no justice in America any longer. The whole thing was a kangaroo court! This was the kind of trial one would expect to see in some third world country. The fix was already in, the “trial” was just for show. The judge and prosecution must be so proud to be bought off so easily.
