The legal system is a joke, as this case has yet again proven.
You have more chance of getting away with murder than you have a speeding fine or not paying enough child support.
 
Actually, it was Lynn who said "murder" not "killing". I was wondering if Dann misquoted Lynn.

Maybe Lynn had his finger on top of Hill's finger when it was on the gun? Maybe Lynn had his hand over Hill's when he had the knife? If so, he didn't touch the trigger or the knife.

I can see why he would say it wasn't murder (as he understands it).

What total BS. You’re in troll territory now

No, because defence said:
  1. Hill had his finger on the trigger so it wasn't Lynn that killed Clay;
  2. Hill fell on his own knife and that it wasn't done by Lynn (and by extension Lynn wasn't touching the knife)

This is exactly right. GL's narrative fits in perfectly with the above to explain 2 accidental deaths.

Why is it then, with Lynns testimony agreeing with all the available evidence, that he was found guilty?

The evidence was such that it could be manipulated to suit both sides. Lynn had a crack at concocting a story to suit the evidence. The jury didn't believe him and found him guilty - not on the evidence, but the disbelief in his version being plausible. If you (not you personally) don't want to call this lying, that is just semantics for the sake of arguing.

The evidence that did exist lead the jury to be more certain of murder with CC, because they knew how she died. I still think if it was anyone here's mum and dad up there in the high country, and they were both dead after an encounter with a third person who owned firearms, you would find it hard to accept that your dad died "accidentally". Even more so when that third person has been found to be a murderer and a liar.

Jesus Christ time to pause on the midsummer murders back catalogue mate.

Just one point. You say “Why is it then, with Lynns testimony agreeing with all the available evidence, that he was found guilty?”

Because he destroyed all the evidence, except the bit when he blew someones head off and the evidence didn’t align to his bullshit story.

But the evidence did align with his bullshit story. What part of the evidence didn't?

Accidental shooting = piece of skull and bullet fragment. That in no way contradicts his version in itself.

How ironic you mention "bullshit story". Does bullshit not mean lies?

If it aligned with his story why destroy the evidence? Can you catch the bouncing ball?

You are bringing so much of your own preconceptions' of the Court case without a basic understanding of Criminal Trials into the discussion, I can understand SirLoin's frustrations.

Really simple, Lynn was charged with 2 counts of murder. The Jury found that on the basis of the evidence presented, which includes Lynn's Testimony under oath and his ROI, that Lynn murdered Clay. He was aquitted of the murder of Hill.

The jury did not find that Hill died accidently (where did you get that one from?), only that there was not enought evidence to support the allegation that he died at Lynn's hand with the intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm

The jury did not find Lynn a liar (why are you even saying that?). it found that the evidence presented by the Prosecution was more compelling than that presented by the Defence

That paragraph you quoted is more a personal opinion. Why only quote one part of a post? Why not refute the whole post?

There is no point going round and round with this. You believe the evidence weighed in favour of what occurred - one guilty, one acquittal.

I believe the evidence fully supported GL's version of events - however unlikely that version might have been. He is smart enough to have "fitted" a story to the evidence he knew was admissable. Chuck Steak referred to the destruction of the evidence (bodies). Again, GL provided an explanation for that - he panicked and didn't want to lose his memberships and privileges. It is whether someone (in this case the jury) actually accepts his version as being truthful that determined the verdict.

For every piece of evidence, GL had an explanation from his perspective of innocence. No piece of evidence existed which blew his story apart. It simply came down to whether the jury believed or disbelieved (wholly or partially) his version. They didn't, they determined he was lying. They were then happy to use what evidence they did have, to convict on CC, whilst remaining uncertain how RH died.

We believe different things, that's fine. The 12 jury members were likely the same, hence the time taken and split decision delivered.
 
The totality of evidence has to include assessing the credibility and veracity of the witnesses. In taking the stand, GL is subject to this scrutiny.

If they believed him, why didn't they acquit? Because they didn't believe him, which equates to saying they thought he was lying. A largely circumstantial case is way more dependent on whether witnesses are believed by the jury/judge, or not.

Dawson was still found guilty with no physical evidence. How do you think that was? It's irrelevant when the judge actually uttered those exact words.
As I understand it the judge in the Dawson case found him guilty of lying on multiple occasions and that's why he delivered a guilty verdict. I thought the judge mentioned the lying during the presentation of the Guilty verdict. It was something along the lines of not being able to draw any other conclusion other than guilty of murder etc etc. I think we are mincing with words if we are to believe Lynn did not lie, it is my interpretation the Jury found him guilty of murdering Clay because they did not believe his version of events, to me that is the same as lying IMO.
 
I think you should change your user name from Sirloin to Chuck Steak given the quality of your analysis.
Safe to say that after Loin’s fine work in here, he’ll be rebranded to prime rib before long…

maybe just Sir Rib?
