I think its time to have a judge in the room while the jurors are deliberating so he can oversee the interactions and keep them working honestly!
Orly?and paints people who don't agree with a rather broad brush.
I cried when I heard that verdict. I honestly believe she is a sociopath...sociopathy is an equal opportunity employer .. why can't people understand woman can be sociopaths as well as men. It's a travesty that this woman lied, lied and lied, partied like a fiend and will walk and live that beautiful life like she wanted. I am sickened by this. We have a 2 tier system .. justice is served for the rich, famous, and high profile cases. I would love to see a change to that system. No justice for that beautiful Caylee!
I don't even think they read the 26 page jury instructions.
With all due respect to your opinions, why do you believe that "concrete" evidence is necessary? Under the law, it's not. Circumstantial evidence is like a 500-piece puzzle. Each puzzle piece alone cannot make a picture, but put together, a clear picture of the crime emerges. The kind of concrete evidence you may be looking for, a "smoking gun" like DNA, is especially difficult in cases in which the victim knows the perpetrator. Finding fingerprints and DNA in a stranger-rape case would lead to a conviction, but in this case would mean nothing, as CAsey was Caylee's mom, and of course there would be fingerprints and DNA (if any had been found).
A better question would be: what evidence could have been presented that would make you believe she was guilty?
In regards to fingerprints in this case- I spoke directly to a criminologist who told me that after 6 months underwater, there would be No fingerprints on the duct tape!!!Actually, depending on the jury's reasons for not convicting ICA, I have to say this should bolster faith in our justice system. The SAO's office brought a death penalty case for a case without any hard, indisputable evidence, other than being able to prove the accused is a pathological liar. They were never able to prove the how, the place, or the who in this case. Had it not been a death penalty case, I believe the result of ICA having to pay for her actions would have been assured. I said it before, when talking about the death penalty, I would need fingerprints, or video, or receipts for chloroform ingredients, or credible eye witness testimony when deciding whether or not to put someone to do death. Do I want her miserable each and every day for the rest of her life? Yes. But the ultimate sanction must be reserved for those who commit heinous crimes with indisputable and obvious proof. I don't think this jury deserves to be vilified. She is a despicable human being and I hope for nothing but misfortune in her future. And no one should ever mistake this as being a "win" for the defense. They were bumbling disasters. Their client was fortunate and lucky that there was no damning evidence of what happened to cause her daughter's death. JB, CM and DS should slither back under their rocks now.
You also know it is wrong when the jurors are too cowardly to speak out about how they arrived to their conclusion.
