He should have waited a little bit to talk. Heard what people had to say. He may have just ruined his life. I am not going to lie or exaggerate to make myself look better. If he was my friend, he would be no longer. I COULD NOT have someone in my life who is that ummmmm...non-circumspect. I find it very difficult to be friends with people I don't respect. Sorry Russ, but you'd be out. There is just not enough evidence that you have a fully functioning brain.

This, IMO, is one of the problems with the U.S. Criminal Justice System: putting such important decisions in the hands of 12 (often) ill-informed, (often) uneducated people. Jurors often lack the critical thinking skills necessary to assess the evidence. It might not matter in some (or most) cases. But it does matter in cases that depend on complex forensic evidence. How about requiring jurors to meet some minimum threshold of competence?
One does not need to know how a person died to know that they were murdered. Everything Casey didfrom concealing the body in the trunk, to the way the body was disposed (not by a grown man who could dig at least a shallow grave), to sending LE on a wild zanny chasepointed to murder or aggravated child abuse and not to an accident. There is no reasonable doubt that hers was the hand that ended Caylee's life, whether through abuse and neglect or, IMO, premeditation.
Seriously??? Are they that stupid?
I agree. I think they had their minds made up long ago and had been discussing this case. I think they took a little longer because they didn't want to be criticized like the OJ jury. Then they had their free lunch and said the verdict was in.I was in a civil trial and we asked questions during deliberations that were sent out to the judge and we all filed out and our question was answered. This jury did not do the job they swore under oath to do. One of the juror's showed up in a suit this morning indicating they had already made a decision after about 2 hours of deliberation yesterday. IMO today was spent filling out the form. It took us a couple of hours to do that with less charges.
No wonder none of them want to talk to the media. jmo
I thought they'd find her guilty of aggravated child abuse and when that came back "not guilty" I had a sinking feeling but was holding out hope they'd at least give her manslaughter.
Everyone I know, not just people that followed this case like we did, is stunned by the verdict.
Yes, that's what it appears.So to sum up: the jury decided she was 'not guilty' directly after hearing the DT's opening statements.
OK, perhaps there was a little more effort and thought went into it than that so perhaps my assessment is unjust....but then so was this verdict.

As a coworker said today, "Well, you're dealing with 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty."
It sure sounds like this jury did not follow the court's instructions!
Why else would this Russell keep saying how "they discussed the opening statements"? This stinks of a disobedient jury that just wanted to go home.
I would have voted exactly the way this Jury voted.
I think alot of people would do well to rewatch the trial as often as I have heard anyone say "are they watching the same trial "
I have saw where people infered the evidence said one thing when it did not. I have seen people say JA made a point when the only thing he did was make himself look mean. Now people are insulting the IQ of 12 people who are not just educated but some of them are even educators.
I understand people are upset, but this jury was educated.
So, ICA had 40 plus days to plead her case and Caylee get's 10 hrs?
I am sick.
