I agree. If this happened in every case, Defense attorneys being threatened, jurors being threatened, people acquitted being threatened, defendants families being threatened, our justice system and laws would fall apart. The media would determine a person guilty or innocent. Jurors would be afraid to serve, or ever come up with an unpopular verdict, defense attorneys would be afraid to represent unpopular clients and innocent people would easily be given the DP or long prison sentences. This is not a society I would want to live in. I do not know if KC is guilty or innocent, but she was acquitted of the crime and that is the law. She should be left alone.
The jurors who have remained anonymous and want to---I would never go after them. The ones who couldn't get out of the courthouse fast enough to get their faces all over TV and go to Disney--I'll talk about them whenever I want.
This all happened in an open court system. It's my court system, too, and I'm tired of being told to just get over this or quit talking about it. It's not very often a case comes along and captures a large interest. It gets people interested in their judicial system. That's never a bad thing.
As far as Casey goes, I do not agree with calls for violence against her. But if a large number of people think you got away with murder no matter what a jury said, they're going to keep talking about you. If you don't want people talking about you, then perhaps you shouldn't do things like put your kid in a trunk and never report her missing. JMO.
