Re: Hate Thread
I'm with Newbie on this one. You've definitely got "reasonable doubt" on your side for this, since they cannot prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that *you* specifically were the one who took the money from the wallet. There are too many x-factors in the scenario. (And that's actually coming from slightly personal experience. Madre was on a jury where they used reasonable doubt to clear a guy. Apparently, while he was on parole, they found drugs in his jacket, which had been hung up, unsecured, all day, in an area that was easily accessible to not only him but other employees as well. So while the drugs *might* have really and truly been his, there was that *one slim chance* that someone else could have put them in his coat. Translation = guy was found innocent.)
Also, how stupid is this woman? "Hi, I found your wallet. But I took the 50 bucks in it first before I returned it you, okay?" Really? Really?
Someone needs to hit this woman with a clue bat.
