<snipped>Jurors are also told that circumstantial evidence can support a verdict of guilty. This example is given -- You see deer tracks in the snow, but didn't see a deer. The tracks are circumstantial evidence that there was a deer there. It's just as valid.
Good God! I sure wish somebody would have explained it like this to the Pinellas 12. It probably wouldn't have made any difference but still, maybe even ONE of them would have had an "AHA!" moment.
