If this was a slam dunk case, there would not be dozens of examples of prosecution lying and concealing exculpatory evidence, hiding witnesses like Wakshul, intimidating witnesses, bribing witnesses, failing to conduct routine police procedures, "remembering" confessions months later, and a judge abusing his authority to block the defense from acting to it's full capacity on behalf of the accused.

That's HOW the jury conviction was obtained.

Mrs. Faulkner asked MSNBC (for one minor point) "Where were those photographs before?" but she knows where because the photographer said where they were. They were in his possession because he offered them to the DA three times and the DA refused them. He never offered them to the defense. The DA withheld that exculpatory evidence for 30 years.

I wonder why Mrs. Faulkner shows no interest in the allegations of a murder plot against her husband by the police themselves, for being a Federal informant on crooked Philly cops.

What I find astonishing is the apparently large number of citizens -- both right wing and liberal right -- including a large number who could otherwise be heard to say "the government cannot do anything right" -- express blanket denial that the government did not merely "screw up" but overtly engineered a capital murder trial to win a fraudulent conviction in DOZENS of ways.

(The fact that appeals are limited to what seems like superficial issues -- the race card -- is because of the rules of the appeals process, the fact that the system disallows the consideration of dozens of other pertinent issues and findings.)
