. Her verdict also required her to reject the sworn testimony of Nick Purdy, of Rossy Aguello and of Eric. She also refused to credit the testimony of the medical examiners that testified that none of the evidence at the scene could be linked to Eric - specifically, the evidence that the blood, fluids and hair samples collected had no connection to Eric. She refused to accept any evidence of the phone records that showed Eric was on a telephone conference call in Managua with a business associate in Atlanta. She discredited and ignored the cell site records and the instant messaging notes provided by Mr. Purdy. Instead, the judge relied on the testimony of admitted drug addict Lopez-Danglas, who had been charged with the murder and released after being given full immunity in exchange for his testimony against Eric. The judge also appears to have relied on a picture of Eric that she claimed showed he had a scratch on the back of his shoulder. She relied on this even though the physical evidence showed that the victim had no blood under her fingernails, and therefore, did not scratch her assailant, and in the face of Eric's testimony that he was scratched there as a result of carrying Doris' coffin during her funeral services.

Despite the lack of any supporting physical evidence, despite the fact that ten people saw Eric in Managua when Doris was killed, despite the fact that Lopez-Danglas is a known (indeed, admitted) drug addict, despite the fact that Lopez-Danglas testified in return for full immunity after having been charged with the murder, and despite the medical examiner's finding that Lopez-Danglas had scratches all over his body including his penis, the judge declared Eric guilty and sentenced him to thirty years.

Or maybe the genocide people in Sudan

Black people who don't speak english? Whats the point?

Oh wait, they aren't white.
