A Penny's Worth Of Thoughts On The Porco Case & Other Topics.

If Christopher Porco didn’t kill his father, Peter Porco, and almost kill his mother, then I don’t know who did. But I couldn’t vote to convict him based upon the junk the police and prosecutor have given to the press so far. Circumstantial evidence and Christopher’s calm demeanor when questioned by police are not enough to change a presumption of innocence to a presumption of guilt.

Which leads me to believe that the D. A.’s office must have more evidence than they’re letting anyone know about. (Then again maybe they don’t.) If they’ve got DNA evidence, that could be a problem, since Christopher Porco’s DNA would be all over the house anyway.

More about Porco later. Here are some items I would like to write about more extensively, but don't have the time right now.
