Joshua Rosa
From youth pastor to convicted murderer within a matter of a few minutes while the jury chairperson read the verdict of guilty.
This case has sparked a lot of interest in the community and has drawn internet traffic from all over the world.
Normally I post and move on to something else now and try to not get to involved in cases as I did in the Kocis case in PA.
With the different comments and emails, I decided to post a poll to see what the majority of people think about the outcome of this case.
So please take a minute and vote.
Seems even after conviction, Rosa still has a lot of supporters fighting for his innocence.
They definitely are going to have a long hard road ahead of them considering Florida only has about a 5 to 7% rate of a different verdict from appeals.
Some still believe Joshua Rosa is innocent. Some believe his conviction was unfair and some believe there is no way Joshua Rosa could go from a kind, caring, loving youth minister to a convicted murderer.
Even with the support, some of his friends have posted on line that once Joshua Rosa started boxing, he changed and he changed for the worse.
Take a minute and vote and let’s see what most everyone thinks.

For anyone that is interested, a civil, informal petition has been started on ipetition.com for anyone who either:
1. Believes Joshua Rosa was wrongfully convicted
and/or
2. That the evidence presented was not significant enough to justify the conviction.
Not sure that it has any legal bearing.
It seems to be a show of solidarity aimed at gathering the large amount of people from the blogs who don't support the conviction.

how the court can accept the version of a "witness" that accepts that he was that day at the park drinking alcohol and using ilegal drugs like marihuana???....if josua rosa strangulate the kid like people said ..why he dont have scar's in the hands???? a person that is in a threath will fight and use the hands to try to get out but nobody said that joshua rosa had scar's in his body...dna investigators made a mistake ...

Strangulation without scars, that happens on a regular basis.
Just because someone was strangled does not mean they could exert enough effort to leave a scar on the person doing the strangling. Not to mention the most common reaction is to try to protect your airway (and just because someone does try to protect their airway does not mean there was a long hard struggle that ensued that would leave any mark on anyone involved)
Obviously the victim during the autopsy had the marks on his neck which is very common in strangulations.
Have you asked Rosa? Ask him what happened and see what he tells you.
Hopefully he could come up with more than they arrested the wrong guy and then presented no evidence in court to prove the wrong man was arrested.
DNA investigator made a mistake? How so, the DNA evidence showed they had each others DNA on them. Where is the mistake there?
Do you honestly think that was a mistake or just grasping for anything possible to keep the faith alive that Rosa is innocent?
Not to mention the detailed explanation of how the blood got on his gloves, Forensic Evidence, damn it man, there is just no escaping that kind of evidence in a court of law.
When the M.E. was able to testify exactly how the blood got there, or did you forget that part?
Oh well, we will share very different opinions of what happened.
Thanks for the comment.
