This may be a silly question, but why does conviction come before trial in this article - it's usually the other way about. Struman
Because the Conviction DID come before the Trial in this case. Outrageous Miscarriage of Justice. IBreakAway ( talk) 05:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
I think this article is in serious need of validation.. it reads as if written by someone with an obvious bias against the subject. jimbomu
She's INNOCENT. IBreakAway ( talk) 05:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
I agree with jimbomu that this article seems biased against Susan Polk, and has a conclusory, editorial tone, rather than a neutral, factual tone. For instance, it would be better to just give Susan's version of events, note that there was no corroboration for that version (if true), and add any specific jury comments on believing her or not. 169.232.230.74 02:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Ms. Polk's "version of the events" and supporting testimony was suppressed by the Trial Judge & State DA. Once plans within the various communities involved were set into motion, it proved impossible to obtain representation that aligned with Polk's interests... IBreakAway ( talk) 05:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
I didn't want to just jump in and start editing things - I frankly don't know that much about the case - but the thing about her returning to the home to collect some things and have her temporary crown fixed sounds like there is a dentist's chair in the living room. 2602:306:CF98:4830:E4BF:D6A0:EB1A:F67D ( talk) 18:17, 24 December 2014 (UTC)DF
Why cherry pick merely 1 of the misstatements of fact the State used against Polk? Why choose only 1 when there are so very many to choose from... IBreakAway ( talk) 05:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
I have exonerating evidence I would like to post on this page but someone keeps deleting it...
With regards to this article, please ensure that additions are properly cited to reliable secondary sources in order to comply with the biographies of living persons policy. Material must also be written in a neutral tone. This article was brought to my attention by an editor concerned that it was not in compliance with the BLP policy, and I have requested additional assistance at the biographies of living persons noticeboard in ensuring that it maintains proper sourcing and tone. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia can be a horrible tool when abused. I’ve tried to clear things up but have been having a hard time doing so. 67.189.34.110 ( talk) 00:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eappwr ( talk • contribs) 21:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
How do I add the following link? http://www.courttv.com/trials/polk/docs/cooper.html?page=1 It is a letter written by Dr. John Cooper to Judge Brady. Dr. Cooper was my mothers forensic pathologist. He testified that there were only 5 significant stab wounds, none of which were necessarily life threatening. He testified that the wounds were defensive and that my father ultimately died of coronary heart failure.
This whole entire article needs to be reviewed and set straight. One of the many issues with the improper handling of this case is that the misstatements of fact and absence of truth were set into motion well before Polk's 2nd Trial. In fact it all began much earlier so setting the record straight is more difficult when dealing with a slanted/lopsided record. I have an enormous amount of undisputed factual information relating to this case as well as Polk's ongoing Appeal. Said information totally debunks/exposes the mishandling and outrageous Prosecutorial/Judicial Misconduct that have infested Polk's case from the outset. The Trial (if you can actually call it one) that the County/State put on in Contra Costa County (yet another Superior Court "Regime" in California with a 100% conviction rate) was a horrendous example of how the Criminal Justice System works in a State as overboard as CA.
