They had many other choices to hold Casey accountable for Caylee's death, disposal, abuse, neglect, etc. They held her accountable for nothing other than what she admitted to in court and on video. Has to be monetary motivated. What about her not rendering assistance if there was an accident? No COD has nada to do with it as many, many other cases prove.
I personally have wondered if HHJP is not partially to blame for their decision. I know alot of you love JP, but hear me out. The jury loved him, he treated them well, there is no doubt about that. HHJP bent over backwards for the defense, IMO opinion to prevent a verdict overturned on appeal. He schooled JB daily on the law, often let them question witnesses outside of scope, he sometimes ruled in their favor as a precaution, when IMO he should not have, he allowed things said in JB's closing that were clearly breaking the rules, and he did not come down on JB hard enough for his behaviour. Many times the jury saw this judge treat JB with kid gloves. Now ALL OF US know it was to prevent a mistrial and prevent a verdict that would be easily overturned, however I dont think the jury understood that. Looking back I now think that the jury probably thought that the judge was being so nice to the DT because he thought their client was not guilty! I know if someone I like and respect treats someone nicely I usually also assume that I can trust that person too. In addition HHJP seemed harder on the prosecution, he held them to higher standards, I get that, but did the jury get that?? What do you all think?
I'd be banned if I expressed myself honestly so I won't.
Moral of the story:
Lie, lie, lie.
HLN TH saying that the jury liked Baez and did not like the Prosecution.
I think the lies worked on this jury. IMO It wasn't just reasonable doubt, they bought the *advertiser censored* and bull story that JB laid out for them.
I don't know why or how they could reach this verdict -- the comment by the alternate that she was apparently a good mother is hogwash. Susan Smith was a good mother until she drove her sons into a lake and drowned them.
But I think THIS jury bought into that -- the thinking world no, but this jury yes.
I think they wanted to get out of town and didn't want to be sequestered any longer. This verdict facilitated this.
The didn't speak to the press because they were not being paid to speak. That will come very shortly.
Personally I feel an enormous sense of animosity to this group and hold them complicit in allowing a baby killer to walk - through their own ignorance and laziness.
Hopefully the IRS will pick her up now. JMO
