Funnily enough, I was watching that film on Amazon Prime, the other day.Is it just me, or are others imagining some kind of Twelve Angry Men scenario?

I hope you weren't offended by my remark. I just love that movie.I see 12 citizens slandered by some without proof.
By sly allusions.

I wasn't talking about the film, but this forum.I hope you weren't offended by my remark. I just love that movie.
Patton Oswalt said about the saying 'everything happens for a reason', Michelle McNamara hated it and said: "No it doesn't. It's random, it's chaos, be kind." I keep that close to my heart, and I try to consult it with every comment I choose to type. I think of all the places, here in true crime, we should be aware of the fact that horrific things happen to people who never deserved it, and for the most trivial of reasons, and that the most horrible people sometimes get away with it and die in their beds surrounded by grandchildren.I'd rather these parents hadn't had to carry this at all, frankly.
V. true! It's a great film, but their dilemma seems quite straightforward compared to this.And there are plenty of details to obsess over in this case, compared to that in the film!
Me too, that is not what my post intended to imply, I would much rather they took home their babies alive and well. And I would never ever wish the pain and suffering they are going through on anyone. The unknown outcomes while they wait for the verdicts must be excruciating.I'd rather these parents hadn't had to carry this at all, frankly.
I'm sorry for your loss.Me too, that is not what my post intended to imply, I would much rather they took home their babies alive and well.

My first grandson passed away shortly after birth, and a postmortem was done. There were no suspicious circumstances but the pain was agonising for the whole family. The babies in this case are entirely different. They include an entirely different level of pain and despair.
I don't think this case could be summed up in so few words any better. I wish babies didn't die, either. I wish we didn't have to have a trial. I wish the parents didn't have to sit with the immediacy of their pain for the better part of a year, not knowing if the verdict will give them any peace. I wish the jurors didn't have to go through the trauma of not only hearing it all, but having to make unbelievably difficult decisions that will affect them and everyone else involved for the rest of their lives.Frankly, I wish babies didn’t die
I think it's interesting, but it's also unfair to suspect the jurors in this case of doing that without any information.I thought it was moderately interesting given the issues with jury absenteeism this trial has had.
