wouldn’t it be best to accept the jury’s decision understanding that they were the ones tasked with deciding and move on?

Well actually no it wouldn't be best, and that's why people arent't moving on,..but they are attempting to do something so it doesn't happen again. An example is the fact Casey waited to inform ANYONE her daughter was missing and frankly she didn't report it at all.....that's a very hard pill for any sane person to accept...regardless of her motives for doing so. Thus Caley's law is soon to be established.

Yes, the Jurors were the deciders.....the question remains how can we change the appointment of Jurors so, as an example, those who have crimminal records don't serve...etc. That the "peers" are not some lamebrained people not capable of critical thinking.

In those last three hours, and before actually, evidence should have been reviewed....unless of course it was simply a matter of manipulating Jurors to one side or the other...without that review. Which is what happened.

These jurors did not review a single piece of evidence....that speaks volumes of their lack of understanding of the "task" before them...as well... they did not take seriously their responsibility to do the hard work of examining the evidence to make their judgement.

I wasn’t in the jury nor the jury room so I can’t judge what they did or did not do. They don’t get to see all the things we do so they make decisions on what they are in the court room to see. They are removed when they are not to see things and told to decide on specific testimony in a specific way. From what I’ve heard from jurors who have spoken is that their hands were tied regardless of how they felt about the case.

That is the BIGGEST deal of all to me....they never reviewed the evidence....intellectually lazy. One juror didn’t even have a high school diploma....guess it was just too tough, like high school. Another had a husband die in prison....no bias there. Another said she “couldn’t judge anyone”, yet was selected anyway. The ditz, juror #3....she said she could care less, and the effort she put in proves it. I could go on about the others who had relatives in jail...no bias there either.....what a disgusting spectacle. Those jurors will be dodging this for the rest of their lives. Good.
