Question about Americal legal system

[Guest]

I often here the term ''No body: no murder'' in the movies, and wondering if it is strictly true.

Today, a British man was jailed for life 27 years after his wife and children disappeared. At the time, he told police his wife and kids moved to US with a Lover.

Police were unable to locate the bodies.

The lover of the British man said she believed him at the time.

The turn around was ten years ago when the lover, now an ex-, published her book where she noted she'd noticed scratch marks on the Suspected husband. This made the police to re-open the case, leading to today's conviction.

The ex-lover called the man psychopath and liar today triamphantly.

I have a problem with this woman's motive. Sure the man was the killer. But didn't the ex-lover lied to police et al she believed the man, hiding the fact that the man had scratch marks.

Call me cynical,if you will, but isn't she the one profitting from this murders writing a book about it? Wouldn't today's publicity stunt lead to some morons buying her book?

Am I the only one to see her in the mold of a bitch who revenged her former lover as well as making profit?

Excuse my poor writing as I write this in hurry.

How do you think Clinton escaped jail over Ron Brown?

Is this some sort of anus joke.

LOL
Not at all, just trying to stir a hornets nest. Ron Brown was one of fifty or so people that "mysteriously" died after getting to know the Clintons.

Not that I care, I was just looking to see what kind of response it would get.

There have been a couple rare cases where someone has been found guilty of murder without a dead body being found. In those cases, though, the evidence was overwhelming of foul play, and it was likely that the act of the murder was such that it would leave no bodily trace.

If this guy was convicted, it would have to be on more than just scratch marks. Those aren't "evidence" of anything.

I assume you were referring to this.

No.

There's a case in Oklahoma City where a man was convicted of murdering his wife based on blood splatter forensics, an eyewitness that put him out at the river with a rented chipper shredder, and a single fingerbone belonging to the dead wife. They never found her body.

Conspiracies everywhere!

Any and all conspiracies discussed here. (Warning: popups abound.) Republicans killed John F. Kennedy Jr., the CIA perpetrated 9/11, you name it.

CV, you officially, and finally I might add, have a thread now. No need to thank me, just knowing I helped someone today is enough.

Court TV just featured a case where people were convicted and the body hasn't been found. The Girly Chew Case.
