ICv2.com: Prosecution Expected To Rest Today In Michael George Trial

The comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com noticed something I sure didn't in the local coverage of Pennsylvania retailer and con organizer Michael George on charges stemming from the 1990 killing of his then-wife Barbara in Michigan: the prosecution is expected to wrap it up today. The defense is expected to focus on the lack of physical evidence placing George anywhere near the murder scene at the time of the gunshot slaying. The prosecutor's case has been seemingly built from circumstantial evidence and contextual testimony, much of it damning for a lot of readers. One comics professional commented to me that if this were a TV show, it would be 51 minutes past the hour and Columbo would have just turned away from the door with his fifth question for Robert Culp since the last commercial break. Whether or not that evidence will be enough to convict in the non-TV world, in light of the defense that will be mounted on George's behalf and the multitude of appraisals and judgments that will be made by people directly encountering this evidence, that's why they have the actual trial. It's certainly one of the more salacious and entertaining prosecution cases I've ever seen described in a newspaper.
