LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS…CALVIN HARRIS IS ON TRIAL FOR A SECOND TIME FOR THE MURDER OF HIS ESTRANGED WIFE--MICHELE--WHO DISAPPEARED BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2001.
TO CONVICT HARRIS… THE PROSECUTION MUST PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT HARRIS COMMITTED MURDER. IN MY VIEW, THIS WILL BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE IS ENOUGH DOUBT IN THIS CASE TO FILL THE CHEMUNG RIVER.
FIRST, NO BODY HAS EVER BEEN FOUND. SECOND, NO MURDER WEAPON HAS EVER BEEN FOUND. THIRD, IN THE FIRST TRIAL-- AN EXPERT WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION GAVE INACCURATE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION ON BLOOD EVIDENCE.
FINALLY, AFTER HARRIS WAS CONVICTED IN HIS FIRST TRIAL, A WITNESS CAME FORWARD ON THE DAY OF HIS SENTENCING TO SAY HE HAD SEEN MICHELE HARRIS AFTER THE PROSECUTION HAD SAID SHE HAD BEEN MURDERED.
FRANKLY, I THINK THAT CALVIN HARRIS IS INNOCENT, THAT PROSECUTING HIM FOR A SECOND TIME IS A WASTE OF THE TAXPAYERS’ MONEY, THAT THE CASE AGAINST HIM IS FLIMSY AND CIRCUMSTANTIAL, AND THAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED A CHANGE OF VENUE.
WITH COMMENTARY…I’M DR. STEPHEN COLEMAN. THAT’S MY OPINION…WHAT’S YOURS?
