Steven Landis II: Court system worked as it was supposed for Ethan Morse

I feel like the Morse family is being attacked. With Ethan being set free on charges of murder, people think that he was only let go because of his father’s status as district Attorney. Isn’t our court system designed to do what they did? Review the facts and determine that there isn’t enough proof to show Ethan Morse drove the car?

I think we should be happy because a innocent person wasn’t sent to prison for the rest of his life for a crime he did not commit.
