TX for reply. How do you think George knew the car was at Amscott for 3 days before it was towed? I have been trying to get answer. Did you see the trial today? How do you think Baez did with the jury? But no I think she is a crazy slut. Do you really think I am illogical and why...

Someone up thread said he got a letter in the mail informing him it had been there for three days and was now impounded.

I watched the closing arguments today. I thought the prosecution's final argument was very effective. I thought Baez was horrible. It's obvious that he was throwing anything and everything against the wall to try to create reasonable doubt. I'm guessing the jury tuned out to most of his presentation.

It's important to remember that "beyond a reasonable doubt" doesn't mean absolute certainty. If one were to express it as a percentage, 80% would probably be a good number. So based on the totality of the evidence, the jury should be about 80% sure that Casey did it in order to convict. I think the prosecution met that burden based on what I've seen. Casey was the only person with a motive. If it was an accident everyone would have behaved quite differently. As the prosecution said, one would have to suspend all common sense in order to conclude that Casey wasn't involved. It's not necessary that every single question be answered in order for a jury to convict.
