Readers of this blog may have noticed that there has been nothing to this point (other than noting the start date of the trial) on the retrial of Stephen Scher. The reason for this is not to become a part of the media feeding frenzy and let the events continue on their natural course.
By all appearances, this trial does not have the appeal the first one did - although a man is on trial for his life. It is expected that the closing arguments will be completed by the end of the week.
This writer offers no opinion as to the innocence or guilt of Stephen Scher at this time, only thanks that this country’s judicial system is set up to attempt to be sure the accused gets a fair trial.
Depending on the outcome, there may be appeals - from either side.
After the jury has rendered it’s verdict there can and should be a discussion here. Until then, let Judge Henry and the Jurors do their job.
