The media didn’t convict Mike. The jury did.

I’ve made a point of blogging only about stuff that’s been published in the newspapers. That doesn’t mean I don’t know about stuff that hasn’t been published in the newspapers. You’d be surprised at some of the emails I’ve gotten over this case from people who knew Barbara. I’ve kept a lot of the sorted details out.

If he killed her, then the con is tainted by ill-gotten gains as it stands. He used the money from both insurances to relocate and eventually start up the convention.

By the way, I followed the trial a bit. I remember the witness that said George answered the phone just prior to the time that the murder happened and had to get off the phone quickly at some point. The phone call was during the time that his mom vouched for him being at her place and not at the store.

Believe what you want and refute the evidence if you like, but don’t ignore the pieces that pose the biggest problem to his contention of being innocent. If you believe that witness, then his alibi is a lie.

The man was convicted based on loose facts and a lot of circumstantial evidence such as; 1 guy remembers seeing a comic book on the wall that he wanted and couldn’t get…and says that exact same comic was sold years later by Mike and was reported as stolen during the “robbery”. Has anyone heard of different editions of books. Okay, now the next incriminating evidence was that someone in the building next to them heard them arguing a lot…well then, every married couple out there better we wary of arguing in public or that makes you a potential murderer.

It is a sad day when the media can convict a person….or gossip can…or the fact that you are a spouse that argues or god forbid has an affair. Wow, if everyone who ever cheated on a spouse was a potential murderer, then sadly there would be a lot of them out there!

It’s funny how you keep mentioning the children…did you know they absolutely support their father 100%????

These are also the same children who are financially supported by the fact that the show still goes on. If anyone actually can’t get past gossip or circumstantial evidence, at least know that by boycotting the show you are hurting innocent people.

The Pittsburgh Comicon is a nice con. I went last year and loved it. The parking is free and you can get to your car in a minute or two from the con floor. It’s also connected to the hotel. You don’t even have to go outside if you don’t want to. There is a large mall with a decent food court directly behind the convention center.
