chalilavchas -“I just spoke to a very choshuv person who has reliable information that the DA’s office has knowledge of 4 OTHER Weberman victims who spoke to them, but theyre not at liberty to divulge the names.”
As far as I’m concerned, until they get up on the witness stand and are cross-examined – their claims mean nothing. I’m not saying he’s innocent, but with the some legal knowledge that I posess, I wonder why the DA took this to trial without waiting for others to join along. The answer is simple, he knew the Jury would convict the Guy. Why? Forget about that he’s Frum, Juries almost always go after their emotions. The DA didn’t think for a second that a Middle Aged man would be believed over a young girl – in a case of – he says -she says – Poor Girl.
The fact that he was convicted on such a minute amount of circumstantial evidence and we have many cases of murderers let go even when there is much more evidence shows the failure of the Jury system.
