It's funny you mentioned ears burning, LOL, I took my granddaughter swimming yesterday and spent way too much time in the sun, my ears are sunburnt so bad, they will be peeling in the next day or two
Yes, I have been posting from the minority POV for a long time. There are many wonderful posters on this site (and although you and I are most often on opposite sides, I put you in the wonderful poster category), and that is why I have continued to post here. This site is awesome.
Someone asked if any pro verdict people would have considered a lesser charge for KC. Well, I believe Caylee accidently drown in the pool. I think KC was either on the phone or the computer when this happened. I think KC took her to the wooded area and laid her there to rest on her blanket. I do not think she duct taped her mouth or used chloroform on her, and I believe she was in a state of denial when she laid Caylee down in the woods. So if her negligence caused Caylee's death, then I could have voted guilty on a charge of culpable negligence ( I don't know if this was an option for these jurors).
As for her punishment for culpable negligence, whatever the usual sentence is for that charge, I would be fine with that.
When felons already in prison get into trouble at prison, one of the punishments they can and do get is solitary confinement. The punishment is you are stuck in a prison cell 23 hours a day, with no contact with others. Depending on what you did to get into trouble at the prison determines the length of your stay in solitary. Many prisoners behave very well after even one trip to solitary for a couple of days. It is a severe punishment. You have heard the expression stir crazy. The longest they would normally put someone in solitary is for 10 days and that is unusual to keep them that long. Yes, there are extreme rare cases where they give them a month, and extremely rare cases where it is longer than a month. KC has been in solitary for 3 years.
KC has basically served 3 years in solitary confinement. 3 years of being in a tiny 6 by 8 cell, with little interaction with the guards. 3 years of living alone with her thoughts. This solitary confinement is used to break felons of bad behavior, and usually takes only a few days, she spent 3 years in solitary. Even though she was acquitted of the first 3 counts, and convicted of the last 4, she really has paid a very heavy price for lying to the police.
In my opinion, I think she has already paid for her negligence.
So as for the question asked if any pro verdict people would have considered a lesser charge, I pose that same question to the people that think the verdict was wrong. In the spirit of deliberations, what would be the least charge you would consider?
As always, my entire post is my opinion only.
