Woot! Good verdict. The county brought an f'd up case full of guesses to trial, not counting a PIG who tried to hide evidence.

Come on!!! This kid got away with murder!! All because he comes from a wealthy family and Tina SanRoman was portayed by the defense as a white trash, dope smoking single mom. On top of that, the roommate was of Arabic descent which totally played to the "terrorist fears" of the white suburban jury.
And what 18 year old kid wants to "adopt" a 9 yr. old kid unless he is a pedophile. Remember, Pass was the one selling the marijuana, he's NOT the role model. Let's just see where Pass is 5 years from now. What will he do next time?

I'm surprised they didn't have you testify at the trial.

"The verdict was not a complete victory for 19-year-old Taylor Pass, who still stands accused of attempting to murder SanRoman's roommate, Odai Al-Refo. The 12-person jury deadlocked on two counts of attempted murder and one count of assault. "

So...he didn't kill the woman, but they aren't sure if he tried to kill the guy? How does that make any sense?

Be serious. What an idiotic jury, or what a badly presented case. Obviously dude is a killer, and obviously the city of Burnsville wants to send the message that if you are a single mom who has drug problems with a black haired dark skinned roomie, your life isnt important compared to a skinny, spoiled lazy suburbanite's. I for one will not EVER forget his name, and the fact that in Burnsville, you can buy justice for your rotten do nothing druggie kids. What a murdering loser! The Pass family should be ashamed of being happy that that little killer got off. Send his fake gangster tail to live in our hood, we can show him how it REALLY goes down. What a peice of TRASH!!!!!

There is no EVIDENCE. No DNA. Talk to BCA or Burnsivlle police who collect and analyze data. and aren't you calling the kettle black. Just because he's white he's guilty?

If Pass didn't do it, I'd really like to know how the roommate stabbed himself in the back. The defense said there was other DNA on some clothes found in the garage that could have belonged to someone else...yet they have video of Pass wearing those clothes that night. None of the defenses arguments hold any water. I guess the people involved in this case think that something like this could never happen to their families.

Apparently the state failed to prove that charge beyond a reasonable doubt. This was not a deadlocked jury on that charge. This was a 12-0 vote.

Once you get tired, your defenses will be down and you'll start to fret about whatever is currently nagging away at the back of your mind. You're also concerned about the welfare of a certain person, which doesn't help.
