(22,000 posts)One, I'm wondering if the jurors will be under intense pressure by those in the town to acquit the two defendants given it is such a small town (it is the same size town I grew up in so I'm familiar with what that is like) and people know each other. The change of venue is usually to give the defendants a fair trial, but I wonder if they can find 12 people who are going to not be biased by the whole thing.
Second, only two of the people involved have been charged. I think between the actual violation of this young woman and the cover up there are a hell of a lot more people involved. It is an absolute shame more of the people involved didn't get charged.
Ps-OP thanks for the update. I was sitting here this morning wondering what was going on with this case.
