How many times have you heard of some gang member like "Big Dog" Johnson being charged with furnishing a false identity? Everyone around "Rockefeller” knew him by that name.

By the way, have you ever served on a jury? Of course there was some
bargaining in the deliberation room.
"We've been here 5 days. What's it gonna take to make a decision and go home?"

I would have thought that this would have been fairly cut and dried. I can't help but wonder if perhaps there wasn't a bit of bargaining behind the jury door.

Their faces have become so recognizable there is no place to hide. There are kooks who would not think twice about kidnapping the little girl. I'm sure there are other parents, those that empathize with him on custodial issues, that might attempt to "even the score." Stalkers are another issue Ms Boss will have to contend with. Clearly, neither one will ever have a normal life. As for the defense attorney, he owes Ms Boss an apology. I resented his attempt at making "her" responsible for the abuse she suffered. We don't know everything there is to know about our spouses. For those who suffer abuse at the hands of another, I was one of these women, leaving isn't easy. There is always the fear of being found, having relatives that enable an abuser, friends who will take sides. When there is the issue of money, name recognition, it isn't unusual for reports of abuse never being filed. Bruises aren't always visible. Bodies will heal, but the mind and spirit often do not. Let's hope he never gets the chance to do this again. Although he has been found guilty, I don't feel his ex wife and child are safe.
