Had that Florida jury been given a strong charge on what weight to give to purely circumstantial evidence, accused baby killer Casey Anthony would not be free as a bird right now.
But the Sunshine State jurors had no such instruction and the widely-hated mother of innocent child Caylee Anthony walked if only to live a miserable, OJ Simpson like post-trial existence in the shadows.
I come armed tonight only with circumstantial evidence but please allow to begin to present my case.
I know it will be criticized as revisionist history since I staunchly and repeatedly defended Manny Pacquiao and his team from such allegations.
But I got with a lightning bolt today and that bolt made me realize that the infamous emails purportedly circulated in late 2009, purportedly sent by someone in Pacman?s Inner Circle, which were said to have been sent to Floyd Mayweather agents/representatives were not fiction, were not made up lies pushed to the media forefront, first through New York Daily News sportswriter Tim Smith and then by ESPN?s Teddy Atlas.
Remember, this email or plural emails supposedly asked:
1) What happens if Pacquiao comes up dirty on a random blood drug test?
2) If Pacquiao comes up dirty, can this be kept quiet?
I never called either Smith or Atlas a liar on this issue although I did chastise both for reporting it without ever seeing any such communication.
