No offense, but how someone looks and what they do for work should have absolutely no bearing on justice being upheld for them.  This case simply lacks any evidence to support her allegations, and she really hurt herself by giving sworn testimony to the contrary.  If indeed she was threatened into silence, it's abhorrent, and a terrible thing, but so is convicting an innocent individual.

I personally don't care for her music either, but that has absolutely nothing to do with what I've said thus far in this thread.  A crime doesn't become less severe because the victim creates music you don't appreciate.

With obvious exceptions such as known/admitted terrorists, Adolf Hitler, and anyone in Westboro Baptist Church.

 

Well, maybe not the first two, but WBC does have a song.

Make no mistake, Hitler would've gotten his time in court, and would've been summarily executed at the Nuremburg trials (It's not like there wasn't mountains of evidence incriminating him).   I'm also not entirely certain who had ultimate authority at the Nuremburg trials, so I'm really not sure how that system was carried out (I don't know how other countries judicial systems differ from the US), but, given many of his top commanders were executed (unless they had scientific value, in which case...ugh, Operation Paperclip), I have no doubts Hitler would've received death.  Likewise with terrorists (again, evidence)

Now, as vile as they are, the Westboro Baptists have yet to actually do anything other than be awful people (as far as I'm aware).  As disgusting and heartless as I think they are, picketing a funeral isn't a crime.  And while we all despise what they have to say, that's the double edged sword of free speech.  With the good, also comes the bad.
