I am quite bitter about this outcome cause it has taken just shy of 20 years
and over $200 million of my tax dollars to finaly bring someone to trial,
only to have them be set free!!

Unless there's something newfangled (like DNA evidence) in the case, if it took
nearly 20 years to bring them to trial, they almost certainly didn't do it.

That's no more rational than saying "If the government spent $200
million on the trial, they must have been guilty."

It appears, according to reports this morning, that the investigation
may have been bungled by Canadian authorities from the beginning, and
the extreme cost and duration of the case may have been due to futile
attempts to overcome fatal blunders made early on.

Did they do it? We probably will never know, now.

My thoughts exactly!!

I have the same feeling that the Canadian investigators screwed up right
from the start!

That's not a rationalization. It's simply an observation made to me by judge
Richard Ray Ford of Tennessee. Basically, the fact is that, if the prosecution
has a case, it will be made fairly rapidly. Cases brought long after the
incident rarely are based on provable fact.
