[cut] From my understanding of Steele the prosecution does not have to convince a majority of Jurors that a SPECIFIC aggravating factor exists. Instead, a majority of Jurors must agree that ANY aggravating factor exists.

I read Steele here was my interpretation: 1. The Trial Judge may require the prosecution to LIST the aggravating circumstances, and failure to disclose an aggravating circumstance is not a reversible error. [emphasis added] 2. The Trial Judge made an error by using a "Special Verdict Form"...

Is there anything to prevent him from viewing the budget while delaying it for discovery purposes, without doing an ex parte hearing? Basically the defense submits the witness list/ expenses to Judge Perry, and he reviews it without either party present. Strickland did this with the Jail House...

In my opinion, a single parent would be on the prosecutions must have list. Unlike most single parents, Casey wasn't struggling, she could have given Caylee to her parents and stated so.
