@benpicnyc DANIAL WILLIAMS: “I got her in the back room, and I forced her to have intercourse with me. She resisted, and I hit her a couple of times with my hand. I grabbed a flat, hard shoe and I struck her with it. And then I got up and left.” We can all quote false confessions...

@benpicnyc It doesn't take a law degree to conclude that our "justice" system has degenerated to doing 2 things well: 1) rubber-stamping the cases prosecutors file without looking credulous and 2) turning close cases over to juries to make a wild guess based on bizarre speculation.
