Hi Dilgent

You have clearly never heard of the notorious mistrial of Lindy Chamberlain.

I see you are re-writing history again.

There was no mistrial. Get your facts straight.

She was found guilty. She appealed to the highest courts of the land and they did not over rule the original verdict.

The fact she got freed did not come from the courts.

You better get your facts straight.

And yes Howard is a war criminal, but you are here defending him.
