Jersey Girl, your right about the money factor as far as acquittals go.
SP didn't have money like OJ and WKS and he's on death row. KC doesn't have that kind of money either. Spector had money but because of Lee's activities he only got a mistrial. Another is the celebrity factor. OJ and anyone named Kennedy had or have a large fan base. KC doesn't have this in her favor.
I wouldn't worry about the murder charge as opposed to them charging her with negligent child abuse. She is also charged with aggravated child abuse which will net her a life sentence if convicted.
Ya know what...I need to go back over the docs b/c I thought KC was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse/negligence in the beginning, then when the OCSO checked the computers & saw the chloroform searches, they built up some evidence and arrested her on murder charges. I thought the child abuse charge was changed to murder 1. I had remembered seeing it on her incarceration data, but then I thought it changed. I remember thinking "Why would LE drop that instead of just adding it to a murder charge". I remember thinking that at least if they couldn't get her on murder, they'd still have the backup negiligence charge. I'm worried that all she'll get is time in prison for what she did to AH & lying to LE. That might only net 10-20 years vs life in prison. It might be even harder to convict based on "murder" with the death penalty on the table, especially since I believe the defense will try to create reasonable doubt. IMO - it might not be too hard considering the agency they're up against. On the other hand, the FBI is a different story, in which case the defense would have to prove contamination of some sort before evidence was sent to FBI lab.
