Wait, I’m amending this. I don’t think he “gave up his rights” – not to a fair trial anyway – by running. But, to me, Dorner made it pretty clear that having the opportunity to present his case in front of a jury was not his intention or what he wanted at all at this point . He wanted to make a statement, he wanted us to care about what he wrote and not dismiss it as the ramblings of a crazy person.

Believe me when I say that I cannot even believe that I am defending the LAPD right now, but I think that in these situations when someone like Dorner – putting aside the actual murder victims – writes the manifesto that he did and threatens murder to a number of known targets and then holes himself up inside a cabin – his death by police seemed to be one that all of us, including Dorner, knew was going to happen. There is a lot to say about Dorner and his manifesto, most of which I didn’t think was “crazy,” but I also don’t think that the view that he gave up his rights when he ran is too crazy either. This outcome is not surprising, is what I’m saying really. Do I think we also need to have an actual discussion and not dismiss Dorner’s allegations against the LAPD? Absolutely. Also, there’s a difference between “innocent” and “not guilty,” but that might be kind of besides the point here.

And let me say, I am feel a deep sorrow for those who were the victims of the accused murders and I also feel sorrow for their survivors. I only wish we really knew who committed the crimes so justice could knowingly be served and the possibility to peace of mind can be awarded.

I cannot believe there is a reward for the premeditated murder of this man who was robbed of his rights to defend himself in court and was, instead, killed in cold blood for accusations of murder. Thank God we’re still allowed our freedom of speech if not our right to plead innocent until proven guilty.
