12. It's not a secret. It's evidence that might compromise the defense or the prosecution.

I've thought about it because I was wondering about him being relieved of duty. The 'let's put it all out there for the public to see' mentality is not alawys a good thing,, but like entertainment news media.

It's not a secret at all, there is no mystery in the process. As a defendant, I don't think I'd like to see every moment of my life put out there for people who are not in any way involved in the case who are looking to make money off misery to escape ennui.

If I was on trial, I wouldn't want over emotional members of the public to go to my job, my house, harrass my friends and family, and go over my life with a fine toothed comb. We see what happened with the eternal thug Zimmermann. Even though he was definitely putting all his laundry out in public for profit and to taint the jury pool.

As an officer, Sean Murphy is responsible for maintaining the chain of custody on evidence. He broke it and it may not be able to be used for the jury, for all I know.

He should not be fired, I think he should be reprimanded or whatever they do. But in a high-profile situation as this, the stakes are high for both the defense and prosecution. Not as a game - they both believe in what they are doing, it is their life's work, they have trained for this.

There are many raw feelings in Boston and speculation will not serve justice or a fair trial. Enough drama has occured in this whole thing without cheap shots being made and ignorant commentary. I expect it will get really ugly by the time the trial starts and will deeply hurt a number of people here who are in the process of trying to heal those maimed in Boston.

Just my thoughts.
