Default Winners and Losers in the Sherzer Case

So, he sent Sherzer e-mails expressing urgency that Sherzer should
come right away, and told him to be sure to bring a dildo.

It was his/her repeated requests for a dildo that should have alerted
Sherzer that this was a sting operation.


But it didn't because Sherzer is not very intelligent.

Default Winners and Losers in the Sherzer Case

Dear Mr. Mihovich,

Heil Dubya!

Like you, I made no predictions; merely decried the obvious entrapment by the
"authorities". However, unlike you, I believe there were winners. Every
person living within the military control of the U. S. A. was, to greater or
lesser extent, a winner, because the jury refused to go along with the
unconscionable "law".

After the trial, we learn many other significant facts. Most importantly, we
learn that the government was in a hurry to get Sherzer in its clutches,
because the young woman was approaching 16 years of age, after which the
"agents of law and order" would have lost their persecutorial "legality".
(Here, we must reflect on Larry Parr's arguments concerning the cancerous
growth of authority for the sake of authority.)

We also learn how much more decent Sherzer was than his frameup conspirators.
They spouted racist lies at him, while he tried to temper the racism of what he
thought was a misguided young woman. (We shouldn't be surprised at this,
because racism is inherent in a fascist society, yet, the decent humans among
us try to reject it.)

One thing for sure, Alex Sherzer now knows who his friends really are.

For example, John Fernandez, who has repeatedly proclaimed himself to
be a friend of Sherzer, is difinately not his friend. Fernandez was
the first to blast the news of Sherzer's arrest all over the internet
and has been proclaiming since day-1 that Sherzer was guilty.

So, Fernandez is definitely one on the losing end of the Sherzer
verdict.

Other losers are Bruce Draney, who repeatedly declared that Sherzer
was guilty, and Tim Hanke who wrote that there was an 80% likelihood
that Sherzer would go to prison. Also on the list of losers is
drahmiel and several others.

On the other side of the isle are those who always said that Sherzer
was not guilty and would prevail. These include myself, Alan Fifield,
Paul Rubin, Larry Parr, Jerome Bibuld, Paul Truong, plus
"LeModernCaveman".

This is just a short list. Somebody should compile a complete list of
those who expressed an opinion for or against Alex Sherzer.

My only "prediction" was that a hung jury was a real possibility. I
never make solid predictions of outcomes in criminal cases where I do
not hear all of the evidence the jury hears or all of the legal
arguments the judge hears. I'm not willing to rely on media accounts
which only report what they believe makes a good story. I'm not sure
there are any winners or losers in this sad case.

Default Winners and Losers in the Sherzer Case

I argued both ways, so I am a loser as well as a winner. But I am not
about to make the same mistake twice. Now that Dr. Sherzer has been
found not guilty, I will go on record as saying that I believe the
verdict is proper and that Dr. Sherzer is, in fact, entirely innocent.
People vary. Some people are not really mature at age 30. Alexander
the Great, on the other hand, conquered the world at age 15.


No, Alexander the Great (born 356 BCE) had not even become the King of
Macedonia (at age 20) until after his father's assassination in 336 BCE.

I believe that Dr. Sherzer's original judgment was vindicated by the
trial testimony as reported in the various journalistic renderings.
The particular 15-year-old who so attracted Dr. Sherzer was already a
fascinating woman, fully capable of taking care of herself, and who
indeed did take care of herself.


The intellectual and emotional maturity of fifteen-year-old females can vary
widely. At Oxford University, Ruth Lawrence earned a B.A. in mathematics by
the age of 14 and a B.A. in physics by the age of 15, yet reportedly she never
had been out on any romantic dates by that time.

'Those virtues which command esteem do not often inspire passion.'
--Frances Moore Brooke (The History of Emily Montague)

Note the extreme caution with which she treated Dr. Sherzer's cell phone gift.
I believe Dr. Sherzer is a wonderful man and a man of courage, as his conduct
and frank testimony proved, even for those who have never met him or watched
him play chess. He was found not guilty by a jury who observed him for
several days and who listened to his lengthy testimony and his reaction to
the most strenuous of cross-examinations. Our law, our very constitution,
presumes a man innocent unless and until proved guilty in a court of law.
I will do no less, especially in a case like this where innocence shines
through so clearly. For all who would cast stones I say, "May you never
become the target of a law enforcement sting. There are very few of us who
are immune to every temptation."


'Those who never have been guilty of any indiscretion are generally people
who have very little active virtue.'
--Frances Moore Brooke (The History of Emily Montague)

'What is it that constitutes virtue? Is it the circumstance of being able and
willing to resist temptation; or that of having no temptations to resist?'
--Anne Bronte (The Tenant of Wildfell Hall)

--Nick
