No comment regarding Bob's guilt/innocence but I can tell you from being in
many product liability trials, that its not about the facts - its about the
story being told and how believable it and the story tellers (witnesses and
lawyers) are.

By calling it murder, you did indeed make a judgment call. The very word
'murder' implies intent. Yes, I'm being pedantic, but as my friend Yodar
(Joe Strain) says, "Words Mean Things."

No, I wasn't making a judgment call. I called it murder because I
thought that's what he was charged with. I found out I was wrong and
corrected myself. I didn't mean to insult Bob, you or anyone else.
As for the rest of your post, I don't have enough information to
comment on this case. Yes I've now read Bob's site, and even having
read that I'm not sufficiently informed to comment - I'd like to be
able to read "the other side". Having heard only Bob's side isn't
enough.
All I can say is that the jury heard both sides, saw the evidence and
convicted. The judge heard both sides, saw the evidence and upon the
jury's conviction, gave the sentence he did.
If Bob didn't do it, I hope he is able to appeal and either get an
acquittal (unlikely) or a new trial (likely the best he could hope
for). I hate to see any innocent person in jail...
cheers,
frank
