Somehow I don't think JFK would endorse this methodology.

@jp__878 My in-laws come from a formerly rich and powerful family, he's not a patsy, he's just that level of arrogant about his abilities.

There's no assumption needed now. They caught a guy that presented the same fake ID that he used at the hostel, he had a manifesto on him and from what I understand he still had what appears to be the murder weapon. And, he matches the images that were captured at the hostel. It remains to be seen as it probably is technically possible for him to not be the right man, but there is an extremely high probability that they got the right guy.

@midbamarail When they say "free healthcare" they usually mean free at point of delivery. In much of the developed world you pay nothing other than whatever portion of your taxes go to pay for medical care.

@MrMagyar5 You'd be hard-pressed to find anybody that would trade the UK's NHS care for what the US has. Years ago I had a room mate whose elderly father had died prematurely due to an NHS screw up, and he still wouldn't have exchanged the NHS for what the US has.

@MelissaSteeber Yes, JN isn't legal so much as an inevitable byproduct of the secrecy in the deliberation room. It's ethically questionable, but the jury gets to weigh the evidence and there isn't anything to really stop the jury from putting a thumb on the scales as long as they're all on board with doing so. I don't personally support it because the trials most likely to get the JN treatment are also the ones that are the best chance of changing the laws on appeal. It also distorts the way that cases are tried as the defense can simply go after the jury's emotions and try to convince them that the charges are unjust, leading to a long string of prosecutions over something that could have been ended via an appellate court.
