what did the females on the jury do to the men, threaten to make sure they never got sex from any female in Wake Co. ever again unless they went with a guilty verdict? that's about the only conceivable situation i can imagine

" yep, they sent a handwritten note to the judge on one of the last days of the defense's side that said something about hurrying it up so they could get back to their lives. Even the judge was a bit miffed at it."

I believe it said "we want our lives back".

Sounds like they just wanted to be done with it.

i can't just get around the fact there was no physical evidence.....how can you send a man to jail for life without some serious proof

i wouldnt want that kind of doubt on my conscience

5/5/2011 4:36:50 PM

I hope Boz wakes up in a cold sweat at 2am every night for the rest of his life. I cannot understand why the jury would come to their verdict, but like jackleg said, they didn't get the whole story (which doesn't matter, they didn't get enough to convict).

But Boz, he knows the whole story, he has to know in his heart that there isn't enough evidence to convict, yet he leads the charge to put away BC for life. Ridiculous...

5/5/2011 4:37:14 PM

This is unreal... I hope the appeal grants him a new trial.

5/5/2011 4:37:41 PM

and laugh at Cummings talking about a bottle of scotch!!!!!!!!!!!

5/5/2011 4:40:43 PM

was he just joking about someone giving him a bottle of scotch?

I have dealt with both boz and that chick when I had traffic court issues

Boz was a dick...she was nice

5/5/2011 4:40:47 PM

Cummings is like a happy kid

5/5/2011 4:42:05 PM

5/5/2011 4:42:10 PM

hahahaha judge i'll allow it said the clerk gave him a bottle of scotch for helping find some evidence or seomthing

or maybe it was the prosecution.....couldn't tell

my coworkers, none of whom have actually watched the case, keep talking about how its so obvious he did it. they have surmised all of this based on the bits and pieces in today's WRAL report.

5/5/2011 4:45:14 PM

If this was a jury of my peers I need to get some new peers.

^ they asked to be escorted by the sheriff out the back. if anything it will be awhile before theya re interview. will probably be one of this NBC dateline type deals.

i'd like to hear what trenkle and krutz have to say tho.

they are still talk about all the bullshit stuff.

absence of evidence is not evidence in itself.

it's likely based on people being fucking inbred in this state. they knew he did it the instant it came out on the news. it's always the husband.

to their credit, some of them probably at least waited until they saw a picture of him before they said that he did it. i noticed that there's something in the water down there that gives people a sixth sense. rednecks love to say shit like "i knew it from the second i saw his eyes. he got them there evil eyes."

5/5/2011 4:50:56 PM

"Statement from Cary Town Manager Benjamin Shivar “As Cary’s Town Manager, one of my most important responsibilities is to ensure that our organization hires and retains the very best people to serve our community. It’s what our citizens expect, and it’s what they deserve. This includes the Chief of Police and, ultimately, the officers and staff who support her. With today’s verdict and despite the very public and hurtful allegations to the contrary, it’s clear that they are exemplary, and Cary is served by the best. Throughout this tragic incident – from the moment Nancy Cooper was reported missing all the way through to the jury’s verdict – Chief Bazemore and her team have brought every resource to bear on appropriately solving the case. They worked tirelessly, professionally, and with unimpeachable integrity – just as they’ve done throughout my 17 years with the Town of Cary. Based on their extraordinary and exhaustive efforts, several years ago the Grand Jury indicted Brad Cooper for Nancy Cooper’s murder. Since then, the District Attorney’s Office produced a powerful and compelling case for Mr. Cooper’s conviction. Since 1986 when now Chief Bazemore joined the Cary Police Department as a patrol officer, our community has seen 19 murders. And with every one that has been brought to trial, the suspect has been convicted. Clearly, our police department has the knowledge, skills, abilities, and resources to solve complex crimes. And many if not most of our police who worked on these cases also worked on the Cooper case as well as the other two murder cases of 2008. I want to thank Chief Bazemore and her team as well as all of the outside agencies that assisted in bringing this issue to a close. They are all true professionals.” Statement from Cary police Chief Pat Bazemore “Today’s verdict brings a terrible chapter in our community to a close. Nancy’s family and friends as well as our citizens at large can move ahead with confidence that justice has been served. As I did with the announcement of Brad Cooper’s arrest several years ago, I want to use the opportunity of his conviction to again encourage every person who’s in a challenging relationship to take the steps necessary to keep yourselves safe. Please remember that Nancy Cooper said to many that she didn’t think Brad would ever physically hurt her. Nancy was wrong, and the consequences were dire. Learn from her legacy, and get help now. I want to thank the men and women of the Cary Police Department and our colleagues throughout Town government who joined us in our professional and tireless effort with this case. Throughout, they strived to be accurate, thorough, and complete. This has taken time, dedication, patience, and restraint. I’m very proud of our work together. I want to specifically recognize three of our detectives: Lead Detective George Daniels, Detective Jim Young, and Detective Adam Dismukes. These detectives worked night and day to gather the evidence necessary to make an arrest in this case and due to their efforts, we have been able to bring justice to Nancy’s family. I also want to thank the jurors, the Wake County District Attorney’s Office, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, the City County Bureau of Identification, the State Medical Examiner’s Office, the State Bureau of Investigations, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations for the roles they played in bringing this phase of our community’s tragedy to a close. And finally, I want to thank Nancy’s family and friends for their absolute and unwavering confidence and support throughout this very difficult time. They have changed our lives, and we are better for having gotten to know them.”"

Please flame Cary for this. I fucking hate these people.

5/5/2011 4:56:44 PM

5/5/2011 4:56:57 PM

honestly, even if you take the guilty verdict at face value, there is no way that you can possibly defend how poorly the CPD conducted the investigation.

American Justice is a good show too, and another example of one this would be perfect for.

But, seriously, guys, this makes me a little excited just because I've never seen so many people so upset about a trial. I think this is a good example to explain the mindset of people who plead guilty to crimes they didn't do in exchange for a plea deal.

I got charged with arson when I was 15 and I didn't do it.... but I was so scared of the trial that I plead guilty to property damage by burning. Did I burn anything? nope. Did I think the state could convict 12 strangers that I did? yep.
