Some may disagree Abby, cranes blood actually wasn't confirmed in carpenters car . There were two samples taken and re tested ,one was found not to match cranes ,the other was inconclusive. ,.

well the jury got it right, and if i was on the jury i would say not enough to convict. but i would know he did it.

Well maybe so ,

But if i was on the jury id certainly want to know more about the people in his life
who had just as good, some even stronger motive than Carpenter to kill him .

Just as Carpenter had the means , motive and opportunity to kill Crane that night [ by all accounts Crane let the murderer into the room, so im assuming he knew /trusted that person just like he would have trusted Carprenter if he wanted to come inside the room for anything ] so did many others who dispised him for what he was doing /had done . Example Richard Dawson who disliked Crane for beding his wife , his first wife for all his cheating ,the many boyfriends /husbands who Crane sleep with their Mrs , . Yes Carpenter was probably pissed that Crane was going to dump him as his partner, but does that make for a better motive than the others?. With only circumstancial evidence and no hard proof of Carpenters guilt, would you send him to the Electric Chair ?

no not legally. mentally i would though

and note, although imho not enough circumstancial evidence to convict in this case, people have been sent to the electric chair on circ evidence alone.
