Mark Goudeau, Baseline Killer, Guilty Verdict
Think Mark Goudeau was guilty of all the shootings in the Baseline Shooting cases? Then why, at least according Mr. Goudeau's defense attorney was ( see "Goudeau defense: Evidence lacking in 'Baseline Killer' case" by Michael Kiefer) there:
- No evidence that he owned a gun or ammunition. No gun was even found.
- No evidence that his car was seen in front of a victim's house before her death.
- No footprints, no fingerprints, no body hairs.
Further:
He [the defense attorney] challenged the in-court identifications of Goudeau by victims and witnesses. He reminded the jury that the victims had given widely varied descriptions of their attacker, sizing him at 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 4 inches and everything in between.
The police claim they found evidence from the some of the victims at Mr. Goudeau's home, but that was only found after the third search of the house. The first two came up empty. I hope this is not a case where Mr. Goudeau was convicted simply because he has a violent criminal history, because of media coverage, and because of the fact many different allegations and events- in other words, boot strapping- were tried together.
