The trial in 1999 was based off of a knife collection a teenage boy had and the testimony of a psychiatrist who said the gory drawings he kept in his room show he has a mind of a 'killer". Sadly, they did not have that defense at that time but it would have been very significant information that again points the crime to Dr Richard Hammond and not a fifteen year old boy. the judge vacated the conviction and terminated Tim Masters life sentence, proving him innocent of the crime he was previously convicted nine years in jail for. After being presented the new DNA evidence and still no physical proof that Timothy Masters committed the crime the judge was forced to free Mr masters of his longtime sentence.

Like the OJ Simpson trial – the jury loved Racine. To them she was a star the way she treated her mother, her stepmother and her sister. In the most-strange case known in history – Rebecca and Gladys should not have told lawyers that at one they had viewed their capture as a vacation telling the jury they had much more difficult challenges at home than they did vacationing with Racine. That was a mistake. They testified seeing Juice rape Racine in front of them and knew Racine had nothing to do with their kidnapping by the way she acted when Juice told Racine they were there. Under cross examination, Gladys had to tell the truth. She told the court Racine would have let them go but juice would not let her. Gladys admitted Racine took them shopping closing down Nordstrom; Gladys talked about loving the meals the movies they’d seen and despite her son’s death Gladys had to tell the judge that Racine reminded her of the gorgeous Scarlett O’Hara. Gladys said when she got home she figured that it was Racine’s idea to let them go because she knew about that laundry truck. In lieu of her son’s horrible murder – the attorney was intent on Gladys telling the truth. Rebecca testified they’d be able to escape because she felt that Racine left them go intentionally. They told the jury Racine could have easily routed them from the spa to a secured area and didn’t. The jury only took a half hour to say not guilty on all charges for Racine. They asked for footage of her mother’s funeral where Tramaine sang “Going up Yonder” they saw how much Racine loved her mother and what she did for her mother. It was a unanimous decision to let her go. Once Racine, was free her sister and father raced up to hug her not knowing another snake named Carol was intent on Racine going to jail for murder. Carol had been sitting in the back of the court waiting to trump Racine for what she had

Some people thought that Simpson wasn’t guilty because they believed that Simpson was framed by the police. The defense lawyer came to the conclusion that Simpson was framed as he argued and questioned about the missing milliliters of Simpson’s blood sample and the racism and untruthfulness of the white police officer. It turned out that the missing milliliters of blood were mishandled by lab scientists and technicians, which shows the recklessness of the police. This provoked the question that if the blood samples couldn’t even be collected and handled properly, then could the result of the DNA really be accurate? Nonetheless, most of the jury member didn’t understand the concept of DNA as most of them didn’t go to college.

Michael and his trial lawyer suspected already from the beginning that the prosecutor was hiding evidence that would have help establish his innocence. However, they did not have access to the prosecutor’s file and therefore could not proof his innocence until the Innocence Project got access to the file and they also got the permission to do DNA testing on a bloody bandana found near the crime scene.

In short, the court did not deny that the defendant carried out the killing; but then, there was no evidence that the perpetrator held malice or hate towards the victim at the time of the killing. Nonetheless, the Michigan Court of Appeals, overturned the verdict of first-degree murder primarily due to two key reasons: first, the trial court did not instruct the jury that they could convict the defendant in either first or second-degree murder or set the victim free depending, upon the facts of the case. And, second, in accordance with the Law, Morrin committed an offense of second-degree murder instead of first-degree murder.

When John, and Charlie’s father arrived at the police station, Charlie was beaten so badly that his eyes were swollen shut, and they were told Charlie had confessed to the murder. He was appointed a representor from the jail before his family arrived, and had already signed a written confession. So, to the investigators the case was open and shut. John was not letting Charlie go down without uncovering the truth.

While in jail, Cochran was known for having a habit of biting other inmates; he had bitten five in total during his sentence. Investigators were able to obtain a mold of Cochran’s teeth.

All I asked her to do was to unconditionally love her husband, the only thing she could’t have was myself. Confidentiality was what prevented us from being like normal other couple, but I was fine with that.
