Can't be that the Jury pool is so blind that they fail to see. But, in the court of law, it is what can be proven without the shadow of a doubt that leads to conviction. Poor evidence, poor policing, poor prosecutorial tactics be the cause? Ah wonder!!!!!
Is this a cold case now or are they going after the stepson?
A name change is in order - from Tiffany Scatliffe-ESPRIT to Tiffany Scatliffe-SETFREE
I LOVE the name change —- “ Setfree”
Honestly, which is the lesser of these two evils? 1) having a murder committed and the police can’t find and charge the killer(s) or 2) finding and charging who is the suspected killer(s) and after sitting in jail for YEARS , a Not Guilty verdict is returned.
I hope that people know that a Not Guilty verdict by the jury means that the accused didn’t actually commit the crime. Of late, there are many murderers that have been set free.
