I don't know why YOU feel like you were played for a chump unless you have condemned him for extralegal reasons and feel cheated.
I personally have nowhere near enough information to condemn him, and I'm going to assume he is not the huge pervert you seem to think he is. Weird, yes. Very. It's not been proven that he is guilty of any of the charges raised against him in our system. And looking at what I can of THIS trial if I were on that jury I would have been unconvinced of his guilt as well. And that's the thing with this system: you have to be CONVINCED of guilt, innocence is presumed otherwise.
That is what I want for me, my family, my friends, anyone. Not a court of public opinion.
