Actually the moral to this story is if you get a jury summons GO TO JURY DUTY!! Why, because they interviewed a woman outside the courthouse who got a jury summons to most likely appear for this jury but did not go..she wiggled her way out of it..she said she would have convicted Casey had she been on that jury..so bottom line is, if people want to see justice served, don’t rely on idiots who end up on juries, go on the jury yourself and make a difference

Well said

[I still care]

It’s true. My mom always said that half the cases in the US were decided by leftists because conservatives ran businesses or had essential jobs. Meanwhile retirees, unemployeds, and people with union jobs were most able to sit jury duty.

However I DO know some intelligent people in Palm Harbor.

she said she would have convicted Casey had she been on that jury

Disgusting. What you and she both are calling for is lynch mob justice. You'd demand that she hold to her lynch-mob prejudgment despite any argument, testimony or evidence she'd hear in the court.

Thank G-d she DID skip out of Jury duty and I repeat: HOORAY FOR THE ACTUAL JURY!

Actually, I think this jury debacle descerates all hopes and any basis for circumstantial trials altogether in the future. The public is now so dumbed down as to require video of the crime in motion, with the perpetrator standing over the body in a forward motion of attack, preferably with audio included.

No one “gets” circumstantial evidence. It’s a miracle but an intellegent jury did take care of Scott Peterson, but it’s about to get more rare. A very bad jury has aided and abetted a person who is responsible for the death of a toddler.

I know the media (HLN) hyped this whole thing for ratings, and were weighted 97% against Casey from the beginning, but not entirely without good reason and plenty of investigation of their own. Such bias does probably hurt a trial in the same way televised events sway a television audience.

I never get picked. Most recently I got summoned for June last year, but got rescheduled due to a conflict of schedule with being a delegate to the 2010 Texas GOP Convention. Unfortunately my father suddenly died in early July and I couldn't reschedule jury duty a week after the burial service. I got put into a large jury for some scum who molested a 6 year old girl. I really wasn't emotionally up to serving on a jury at that time and got dismissed.

Extremely good point!
