Here's the thing. Pinellas county is very conservative. Florida is very bad for criminal defendants. Yes, there were uneducated people on that jury but there were several with educations and smarts. Yet all 12 found the state did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. ALL 12!!!
I cannot believe that all 12 were stealth jurors. Something went terribly wrong in this case. Common sense did NOT prevail but it is obvious that common sense is not enough.
I thought they did a great job with the forensics but I guess the CSI effect is still in operation.
I don't know but this is a horrible day for me. It is a sick feeling for not only me but all of my family and friends, most of whom have NOT followed the case as I have, who are blowing up my phone in shock.
The whole country is watching this and the great majority are appalled, as they were with the OJ case. casey got away with murder. But I guess, the jury sat down and felt when they read those jury instructions, that there just was not enough.
