I think Lead Prosecutor Linda Diane Burdick laid out a good foundation during her opening statement about FCA and her lies and who was the 1 person who would benefit from Caylee not being around anymore.

I agree about Linda Burdick. She was excellent.
I remember being so upset over the CA verdict. I thought passion overruled logic and reason in this trial.
Some speak of how the jury was mentally inept. I thought so too but then, I wasn't there in the jury room.
In order to go through the evidence and organize it and get 11 other people to agree would have taken an above and beyond human being.
Being on a jury is one of our civic duties as Americans but how many people have you known that go to
great lengths to get out of it?
Unfortunately, because of my background in LE, I always get bounced. But,I firmly believe I'd
be a very good juror.
To ask for the sacrifices the Pinellas county jurors had to agree to were IMO overwhelming. To be away from family and friends and your home for weeks on end would make anyone nuts. Oh, and the crushing
responsibility of listening to all that evidence.
I like listening to the evidence and enjoy the complexities but most people don't. 10 minutes of explanation and the average humanbrain is "fried" and on to other concerns (like your children at home without you, your job where they've hired a temp to replace you,
Or your significant other who isn't coping well with the responsibility of being alone with children or coping with the day to day situations that they might not be used to dealing with.)
Maybe someday robots will be used to come up with a verdict. Feed them all the info and evidence and let their unprejudged, unstressed
"brains" handle it. Until then, we'll just have to put up with everyday,
ordinary fellow citizens.
