“They did what they believe was right. It doesn’t mean they don’t believe that she did it.”

Umm, HOW COULD THEY HAVE DONE WHAT THEY BELIEVED IS RIGHT when they thought her guilty yet voted NOT GUILTY?????

Because they can THINK anything they like. Their thoughts about what they think about her guilt is different from the state proving beyond a reasonable doubt that she is guilty. They didn't think that the state proved it's case.

I understand you find it a hard concept, but it is really quite simple. I believe in God. I know there is a God. But I certainly can not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

I know I love my Mother. How can I prove it beyond a reasonable doubt?

The Burden of the State in a criminal case is very high. It should be high. We are talking about removing the liberty and possibly the life of a citizen. They better show proof of the manner of death and they had better be able to prove that the defendant can be tied to that manner of death. The state of Florida was unable to show either of these in the eyes of the jury.

They can think it is most likely that she was involved in her daughters death, but they couldn't even rule on a cause of death and weather Casey was present at the death.
