Were you in the courtroom for the length of the trial?
I wasn’t. As guilty as I think Casey probably is, my opinion is reflective of how the media presented the case. I have to respect the jury’s decision, as they were there for the length of the trial and heard both sides present their case.
The prosecution failed to present their case, it’s that simple.
Jonty - the trial was televised from opening to closing every single day - the public saw what the jury saw as well as sidebar discussions and attorney statements that the jury did not see. Even though there was all the hype from HLN or Tru, etc., many kind folks on FRepublic posted a link to an Orlando channel that had NO commentary whatsoever...
so the arguement that the public was “swayed” by the talking heads is nonsense.
...........this coming from a person who did not know the charge of manslaughter was available for the jury to select. Thr prosection did NOT fail to present their case. The lazy jurors did not wish to ask questions regarding the meaning of all those "confusing, time-consuming" stack of charges. Juror #3 proves that statement. They all wanted to get out of Dodge and begin cashing in their big buck$.
