I think it is good to hear both sides. You never know how each individual juror will interpret the testimony and evidence. That is the whole point of a trial, to hear both sides. In this case, it is very likely that the defendant is guilty, but there have been cases of innocent people sent to prison and even executed. This is after their "fair trial". I am sure the prosecution presented evidence in those trials also, but the jury got it wrong, or maybe assumed they were guilty and did not weigh the evidence. I would like to say have come a long way since the Salem Witch trials but I am starting to believe not much progress has been made. Even Casey has the right to her day in court and an impartial jury. No one knows what really happened, we can all speculate, even the prosecution is speculating. No, I am not pro-Casey but I think we have to give the defense their chance and not bash every single move they make. As we can see, the jury does not hear both sides of the story, only what each side wants them to hear. It is actually a staged production. Just like JP says every evening "this concludes our presentation for today"..sounds more like entertainment than a serious trial.
