I got this same bonehead d j saying this. I guess that if a crime is committed and the suspect gets away he isn't guilty of committing a crime by this suggestion.

If there is no conviction then you are not guilty of a crime. the crime itself was committed.

Conviction or not the crime could still have taken place. There are lots of crimes committed where a conviction is never gotten. So does that mean if the conviction is overturned on a technicality but the person is obviously guilty he really didn't commit a crime. Sure whatever.

DJ is a troll, don't listen to him. If a crime takes place, a crime takes place, regardless of whether the criminal is found or convicted. With no conviction, it just means the criminal is not found, not that the crime has not been committed.
He's been emailing me the past day about how corrupt the GOP is and wondering why they can't be as saintly as the Democrats.

Nobody is convicted of the deaths of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, yet it's obvious the crime of murder took place.
That's why the DJ is a DJ and not a JD (juris doctor, a law school graduate).

If a person is acquitted, it does not mean that the crime was not committed. The acquittal of the accused person only means that the state prosecutor failed to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

No, it means that he hasn't been FOUND guilty of a crime. If Bonehead kills your sister and nobody can pin it on him, is your sister suddenly alive or is she still dead?

I don't believe that. OJ is a great example. DNA proves many things. The problem is, once you're rendered in a court of law as being not guilty, you can't be retried for the same offense, I believe.

Without a conviction, nobody is legally guilty of the crime, but the crime still happened. If someone is murdered, but nobody is convicted, there was still a murder.

If no crime has been committed, there will be no charges. If no charges, no conviction.
Your dj is a fool.

Nope, the crime happened, no one is paying for it unfortunately. Look at OJ Simpson, no one is in prison and yet two people are dead.
