That is a better article, but I still don't think the parents are disgraceful based on that. They just believed the first verdict.
Which I believe is the point of a verdict. It's supposed to mean the accused are guilty beyond reasonable doubt. The parents followed the first trial, believed in it, and were of course emotionally invested in its validity.
It also sounds like they just need more time. They are in shock and don't know what to think:
The poor grieving parents. They have to start back from square one. They'll be needing a few months, not hours.
No kidding.
I'm glad they're 'completely freed' but how can such two 180 degree verdicts even happen?
Complete agreement. I said "interesting and tragic" and described their reaction as "understandable." See the rest of the discussion in this subthread. I strongly disagree with describing the parents as disgraceful.
It should be noted that Wedrifid strongly disagrees with describing the parents as disgraceful. This leaves, I believe, a total of 0 people who describe the parents as disgraceful.
I don't see where you retracted your comment...? Or are you making a distinction between people being disgraceful and behavior being disgraceful?
This
You're right, we're in agreement.
I read your description of the parent's reaction as 'very negative' and wondered what you meant. I then looked to Wedrifid's comment for elaboration and averaged them together. The subthread developed in the meantime.
