**sigh**
It seems as if we picked another one of "those" cases. I have heard of this type situation being called the Casey Anthony effect...as in, prosecutors are very hesitant to take a case to trial these days after what happened in Florida. Public perception has drastically changed with the introduction of forensic/crime tv shows. People think they need "absolute" proof beyond any doubts in order to convict these days. I really think it would be in the best interest of jurors if judges started explaining the difference between "reasonable doubt" and no doubt/proof positive (which rarely exists). To bring a guilty/not guilty verdict, one only needs to understand "reasonable" doubt...as in, what would a reasonable person do, given the same circumstances. Nothing is 100% certain; we can only determine what would be reasonable to believe under the circumstances.
In other words, if we have to give someone a 100 excuses, explanations and reasons to make the facts fit the circumstances it isn't "reasonable". JMO
