Do you all remember how long everybody posted, wondered, assumed, and made guesses as to what happened during the Trey Wells trial? It went on for weeks, page after page after page. Every one of us had opinions. He was guilty, he was innocent. He should be hung, the parents were to blame.
Now that a murder was committed in a prominent (or at least well known) family suddenly the thread should be closed before somebody's "feelings get hurt". Where was this sentiment when the boy was being raked over the coals?
I'm not saying the thread should be kept open. It was all pretty much speculation at best on either side, but everything on here is pretty much speculation.
Now the drug rehab woman's family is protesting that people are making quick judgments of her; the ballplayer's cheering squad is crying "foul" over the discussion of his rape innocence or guilt; on and on.
What I am saying is this: If you're going to make value judgments concerning one family's tragedy then don't cry when people are making value judgments about the family that you know.
