Academy Murders: Momentarily

“Welcome back the ‘Evening Current.’ I’m your host Brosnan Brody. We were just discussing the infamous Jergensen murder trial. So, she’s been let go on the first murder charge but she is still facing a jury for another murder in which she may or may not have been involved. Here’s the kicker, in the Susan Donnehy trial, she has been not recused, bit found guilty or not guilty (yet), but is investigating a murder that she is named the prime suspect of committing.

If this seems too baffling, too unreasonable, too incredulous, just consider the fact that the American system of justice is still robust.

Though it may seem as if there have been many injustices carried out in United States history, the truth is that facts and reality far outweigh any notions of invalid evidence or false proof. In Miss Jergensen’s case, she is doing something that no one in the more than two centuries of the legal system in this nation has done: represent herself as an investigator in her own murder trial. While this might seem extraordinary, again an eleven year old was sent to the electric chair for a crime he didn’t commit. A young boy was brutally lynched and the defendents were cleared. After the trial, they admitted to crime and got paid for their stories.

So Miss Jergensen is in a position to make history one way or another. If she can make history again, she will be a figurehead for solving cases that seem incongruous and impossible. This take will be another great example of America being tested. Miss Jergensen might be the only one in the history of the world to investigate their own murder case.

Clearly, the evidence will surface and bring us closer to a position of being purveyors of the law. The figures that should be looked at continue to be how we view the amount of involvement that Miss Jergensen has had in all of this. The talk about how we’re so conditioned to say guilty instead of innocent is a reflection of our culture at large. When we permit ourselves the idea that innocence comes first, we have an opportunity in the possibility that we might be able to point out the thinking that goes behind it ought to be explored.

Principles of acknowledging the truth is what makes the American legal system so through beyond its few flaws. Miss Jergensen was given a fair trial twice. Well, one and a half. We shall see what will come of her role momentarily.

The investigation should yield as many twists and turns as the track at Le Mans. But we’re talking about a Delawarean Marine cop who took down a ring of murderers in her home state. After that, she beat the case and now she’s beating her feet to clear her name again, she might become immortal. The criminal justice system might flip. With the confession of Delores, this only boosted her resolve. If she can bring herself to thinking through this case just like she did with the QR Code Murders.

“To take into account the reality of all the ways that Miss Jergensen can be talked about in the papers, online, in print, and television, across the globe and in outer space. As we find new patterns and developments in this story, we can glean ever more into the seedy, sordid, and unseemly world of the Academy Murders.

Next up, we have an interview with Yawquisha Hudlin, the ride along who stayed with Miss Jergensen. What does she have to say about all of this?”
