The CA jury was kind of a bizarre "Fluke".
IMO, I also think the Prosecuting attorneys really blew it by putting on way way way way too much technical witnesses that lost the jury in all the details. They droned on for days and days, and it got to the point where I think the jury thought the PA was trying to create something that wasnt there or hide something with all the technical stuff.
IMO, they should have streamlined all the technical expert witnesses down to clean and short summaries of what they were tyring to point out. It was way too cumbersome and confusing. I think by the time their experts were done, the jury was left wondering WTH the whole point was.
Like, all they had to do was get a guy on to say chloroform was found in the trunk, then put on next expert witness to point out the next thing, and so on. Just make it clear and concise.
I remember a lot of people saying there was so much evidence, but that was the problem.....Way too much evidence and there was no way the jury was going to even attempt to use it in deliberations. They needed to have it pointed out to them what they needed to remember in very clear and short expert testimony.
Sorry. end rant. :floorlaugh:
