A surprising result in North Carolina today: The jury in the Bradley Cooper murder case has just returned a verdict of guilty. While many people in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and the surrounding area have strong beliefs as to Mr. Cooper’s guilt, many felt that the evidence presented was insufficient to meet the legal standard of “beyond reasonable doubt.” I would expect that Brad Cooper’s attorneys are even now thinking of the points that will allow them to take the case to the North Carolina Court of Appeals. The case will not be re-tried there, as the Court of Appeals will examine only issues of law decided in the Superior Court, and will take the facts as presented.
