They had to restrain Polly's father. <BR/><BR/>It must have taken an enormous amount of self-control on the part of the families to hear the "something happened in that bathroom" in that courtroom. I can't imagine it didn't infuriate the panel as well, especially after hearing Reade's testimony. <BR/><BR/>I don't know how MN could arrive at ANY conclusion as to what happened. He apparently read nothing, and didn't even watch the video of the April 4th id because it wasn't entertaining enough. (I can't believe he actually said this!)
