POST: ""Did Kellyanne Conway murder Melissa Trotter?" by Jeff Gamso, published on Gamso -For the Defence - on September 30, 2017. Gamso writes: " Criminal defense lawyer, public defender, civil libertarian (former Legal Director of American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio), anti-death penalty activist, public speaker. After many years in private practice, I'm now a public defender in the Cuyahoga County Public Defender's Office. My first career was English Professor. I studied medieval and renaissance English Literature, taught literature, film, and composition. I've been a film critic."
GIST: "It's been a while, years in fact, since I've written about Larry Swearingen who did not kill Melissa Trotter. That's the same Larry Swearingen the good people of the State of Texas intend to kill on November 16 for the murder of Melissa Trotter. The same Melissa Trotter Larry Swearingen did not kill. Sigh. Let's do this in three parts. "Part I: Larry Swearingen was in police custody when Melissa Trotter was elsewhere getting killed. That seems incontestable. The Texas courts don't care. The prosecutors don't care. After all, there's all that circumstantial evidence and junk science that points to him. Therefore he's guilty. Proof that he's innocent would be, I don't know . . . . Wait, I got it. Alternative Facts. Cool. Let's blame the killing on Kellanne Conway. I don't know where she was at the time. Anyhow, whoever killed Melissa Trotter, it wasn't Larry Swearingen. But, again, the courts don't care. The prosecutors don't care. And Texas plans to kill him on November 16. Part II: As I've said from time to time in the context of more than one allegedly bad guy: TEST THE FUCKING DNA! But of course they won't. Well, that's not quite right. They've tested some. To the surprise of pretty much nobody who paid attention to Part I, IT AIN'T HIS. Which is, of course, not of any particular interest to the courts or the prosecutors. Who don't care"....Read on for the rest of the powerful post at the link below:

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: I am monitoring this case/issue. Keep your eye on the Charles Smith Blog for reports on developments. The Toronto Star, my previous employer for more than twenty incredible years, has put considerable effort into exposing the harm caused by Dr. Charles Smith and his protectors - and into pushing for reform of Ontario's forensic pediatric pathology system. The Star has a "topic" section which focuses on recent stories related to Dr. Charles Smith. It can be found at: http://www.thestar.com/topic/c
