Part of due process is not doctoring the evidence.

You can prove that? The defense made all sorts of allegations and offered those irregularities to the jury - the "planted" key, the EDTA, the alleged movement of her electronics and remains. The jury was offered those alternative explanations.

The jury does not have to believe every element of the prosecution's theory of the case to convict. The prosecution only has to prove every element of the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt, period.

I know a lot of libertarian-leaning folks don't like this case. But, rest assured the evidence is fairly convincing they got the right guy (probably the right guys). The laws aren't there to protect the guilty, they're to protect the rest of us from police/prosecutorial overreach. My objections are on those grounds, not because I'm handwringing over Avery being jailed "unjustly." He isn't.
