Finally the Joshua Rosa Poll is over…

Finally the Joshua Rosa Poll is over…


This poll has come to an end finally. I know, I know, I set the date for it to end and could have ended it at any time I decided too, but I wanted to leave it on line just in case one supporter could actually come up with something somewhat informative as to why they thought Rosa was innocent.

However, this mission failed miserably.

As you can see there were a total of 399 votes on this poll.

And as we can see from the poll, the majority of people think he is guilty of the crimes he was charged with, some may not agree with life in prison, but over all the majority agrees with his guilty conviction.

Now sadly over the time this poll was active I had been asking people that were voting innocent, to please leave comments as to why they thought he was innocent.

By the way, even though there were 170 votes for innocent, one person voted at least 30 times according to the log of people that voted.

With asking for comments to support his innocence it seems the most that left any comment was grasping at straws to come up with something to say to try to make one believe Rosa was actually innocent.

To review some of the comments

Rosa was a nice guy.

I assume people were trying to say since he was so nice he could not be capable of committing such a horrible crime. I guess I will never know since none of his supporters left any other comments to back up what they were saying

Even with the nice guy comments, we have to remember that Rosa’s own friends have posted on line that just before the murder that he had a major attitude change, so maybe he was not the nice guy that some bloggers believe.

There was a couple (and yes I mean only 2) comments that actually made any sense at all.

But even with the sensible comments, no one could (or did) attempt to explain the DNA evidence. No one could provide anything that proves that Rosa was innocent and they arrested the wrong guy. No one could explain away the forensic evidence either.

We did get to read some comments that said since Rosa did not have defensive marks on him, he had to be innocent and that the DNA evidence was wrong.
WOW, talking about grasping at straws. Granted there could always be errors in evidence collection, but to doubt actual DNA testing this day and age is just ridiculous.

To say the investigators made errors in their investigations of this case, I can only respond by saying this. After all of my years working the street as a cop and investigating cases, I never once arrested one single person that there was any doubt about the guilt of the suspect. I personally knew beyond any reasonable doubt that the suspect was guilty.

So to say that the investigator with the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office was in error making this arrest I find also ridiculous.

Of course this day and age we as humans need to find someone to blame for everything. So in this case people have attempted to blame the investigators, blame the courts, blame the defense. Seems the few supports of Rosa have tried to blame everyone except Rosa.

Wonder if any supporter has actually asked Rosa if he was actually guilty of this crime?

I have written a couple of letters to Rosa and told him of my blog and asked if he wanted to say anything to anyone blogging about this case and I have not heard anything from him.

So I guess with the end of the poll, it will bring the end of the discussion of Rosa on this blog unless he actually does appeal his case or something new happens with him.
