I didn't like the trial. Trials are... complicated. Easily skewed to one perspective. [He knows first hand how easy it for a someone to twist the truth and plant seeds of doubt that spread like wildfire throughout people, and colour their perceptions. He sat through a trial and listened to a prosecutor who truly believed him to be an intelligent psychopath convince a room full of people of her beliefs.
He would've been curious to see her face when he was proved innocent after the Chesapeake Ripper killed again.]
But putting people's lives on the line changes that. I don't agree with playing God in this situation, but with everyone on the line we're... unlikely to make a snap decision. I hope. That's really all we can ask for.
