I know technically it’s not a mistrial for a verdict was rendered and there were no legal errors from the defense, prosecution or judge.
I just meant that, unless the prosecution was going for broke, in terms of first degree or nothing, the jury should have been able to find her guilty of something more than just lying to cops. For example, the body was moved, that is tampering with evidence and messing around with a dead body. Those are indictable offenses.
But, the jury’s verdict needs to be respected, opinion not withstanding.
“But, the jury’s verdict needs to be respected, opinion not withstanding.”
Just as we respect the lawfully elected and constitutionally authorized President of the United States.
