I think she is probably guilty but I haven't heard enough of the evidence to really know for sure. I also don't think that the media is giving us all the facts -- just the facts slanted to prove her guilt.

Sadly, most cases are tried by the media long before they are tried by a judge and jury. It is next to impossible to get a truly fair trial today. The best an individual and his/her attorneys can hope for is a jury that is willing to listen to everything presented to them before making a final decision. Amazingly, that does happen even today, usually by a hung jury because one or two individuals refused to be influenced by anything but what was presented at the trial.
