There definately needs to be another trial, by the looks of it, the people who tried him were complete idiots. I do believe he is innocent and he needs to be freed and home with his sons.

Maloney deserves a new trial and his lawyer deserves to see all the evidence, including the medical examiner's evidence they said no one independent of this case was allowed to see. I know this show was definitely biased toward this opinion, but I still agree. If for no other reason than to get all the details that were covered up or "quieted" due to the Maloney's earlier (bad) lawyer's decision to defend by claiming Maloney's girlfriend did it (was there ANY evidence to this effect -- I think not).

Maloney should receive another trial.  There are too many unanswered questions.  It seems the authorities rushed to a decision that he was guilty and ignored information to the contrary. Now his children are paying the price.  As long as there is a chance he is innocent, he should have another opportunity to prove it.

John Malony was a police detective, in that sense he would be able to kill someone and get away with it.  He would know how to cover it up.  Why if he hit Sandy over the head then strangled her, would he go downstairs to put a bloody shirt in the hamper, then go back upstairs to set her on fire.  He would know how to cover a murder better than anyone not in law enforcement, so if he did it, he wouldn't have been caught that soon to even be convicted IN ONLY 8 DAYS!!!!!!!  Think about it, it only makes sense.  [B][U]
HE'S INNOCENT!!!!   NEW TRIAL, NEW TRIAL, NEW TRIAL!

They should convict the attorney, judge, and medical examiner for corrupt misrepresentation, exclusion of evidence in this trial.  Or where they all sharing Sandy's vodka bottle?  

Party at Sandy's house BYOB, plenty of heat! :-)

Yes, Maloney deserves a new trial for his sake and his family.

Yes!  He deserves a new trial.  This goes to show you that we should always trust God and not man.  The prosecutor was crooked!

It certainly appears as though that an overzealous prosecutor persuaded the jury in this case and i do believe that there is evidence here that the jury never saw that may be of importance.  In summary, John Maloney does in fact deserve a re-trial to hear ALL the facts and evidence against him.  He deserves that the facts be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and that reputable professionals be called upon to verify such "facts".

If for no other reason at all remember that reasonable doubt is a requirement for a not guilty verdict.  With all of the correlations between dates of bribes by the prosecuting attorney and the disappearance of the fial, AND the testimony of his boys as to his whereabouts at the time of the murder I do not see how there can not be reasonable doubt.  SET HIM FREE!!!
