She turned down probation before trial (none / 0) (#13)

No one turns down probation on a possible 30 year sentence unless it's on principle -- the principle that they are innocent. I agree, go read Majikthese -- she's got some great insights, including the fact that Anero was computer illiterate for the most part.

One time in the early '90's I had to go to Miami to do a case and my laptop had died.  I borrowed one from one of the TLkid's friends. They were 12.  When I got to the fancy hotel (the brand new Delano on South Beach) I couldnt get the internet connection to work so i called the front desk for help.  He fixed it and after he left and I was browsing around on the computer and found a ton of soft porn.  I was so embarassed, what if it had popped up in court or in front of the hotel-fix-it guy.  Since then, I've never traveled with another person's computer.  

There are just way too many explanations for this that don't point to Anero's guilt.

It's often why we tell clients who believe they are innocent, take the probation  --  unless you were in Ohio when they said it happened, some jury might be crazy enough to convict you.  Trial by jury is always a crap shoot.
