Resty, honey, did you watch the whole trial? I did and the jury was in error. Legally, they didn’t need to determine the details of HOW Casey killed her daughter, but that the daughter is dead and it is a result of the mother’s actions. And they did a good job of it.
The problem is, they wanted it wrapped up in a neat little package like they see on TV, and that isn’t how real cases work.
AFA your comment “lack critical thinking therefore unable to and can not grasp our legal system.” - I agree, the jury lacked critical thinking and can’t grasp our legal system.

Our jury selection process (not the jury system) needs to be fixed.
