That he caused her death is beyond dispute.

The reason, the motive, the lack of motive, his state of mind, and many other factors are what actually determined his sentence; his guilt was beyond dispute.

As for being presumptive, because we weren't actually in Court, this was the most publicised, open, and televised trial (maybe excepting O J Simpson) that was ever in the public domain, so I do not think it is presumptive of any person, who has followed the trial as it unfolded to voice their opinions.

After all isn't that what we all have been doing on this thread from the very start?

And now that the sentence has been decided, surely we can opine on the Courts decision?
