^This.
I don't see this as an easy verdict at all.
I would imagine it is a daunting task for a juror to give a guilty plea.
They are bound by strict rules to deliver a verdict. So far there is no true evidence that SC killed her.
Like Daletray they are only hearing what they hear in that courtroom. and if they pick up on stuff.
These days everyone expects that smoking gun bombshell evidence, hence Casey Anthony. Just because he drove with her doesn't mean he killed her. Just because he lied, doesn't mean he killed her (playing devil's advocate, I think he killed her)
I hope when Rivera cross examines he points this stuff out to plant the seed now instead of in a closing statement. Let in stew in the jurors mind now.
I completely disagree. I think there's been a lot of evidence presented so far, and I think there's a lot more to come. Testimony is evidence.
Ginseng Mileur testified that SC asked him, "Hey, Ginseng, how would you get away with a murder?" This was confirmed by Dave Rasmussen.
Dave Rasmussen had this to say:
Rivera: Did he express any concern for her welfare to you?
DR: Uh… no.
Rivera: How ‘bout when he told you he was the father of her child, did he express any concern about the child?
DR: No. I didn’t see any concern, no.
His police interviews prove him to be a liar in so many different ways. He had motive, opportunity, was the last person known to have seen her alive, and has an alibi that defies credibility.
We haven't heard from the Scott family yet, we haven't heard from the forensic entomologist, we haven't seen the cell phone records.
I don't think people have lost the ability to reason just because we have DNA technology. Reasonable doubt means that there is another
reasonable explanation as to what happened to Charli. IMHO.
