Poor versus Rich on Trial for Murder

Evidence was spotty, not much justification Giant stretch of prosecutor’s imagination Easily led jury wanted to crucify and convict Defendant’s wife felt like he was being kicked Though there was no solid proof or DNA test Was this lawyer truly the defendant’s best? Victim was not alive to testify, unfortunately The accused got sentenced to life and twenty-three If this sap had been a child of a Pres or senator He would have been released without prejudice for sure But a poor boy usually has a pathetic defense. This innocent man spent the rest of his life behind a fence.
