Cyn....the point is it is perfectly LEGAL and JUST to convict someone without knowing the cause of death. It is called circumstantial evidence and just as good as any other evidence. This is not a CSI show where the writer solves the case conclusively...this is real life. DNA evidence was all but degraded due to the dumping of the body...a hurricane and standing water degraded it. The body decomposed. Same thing happened in the Peterson case.....the jury LEGALLY convicted him. Had the Anthony jury done their job, she would be guilty as well. She was found not guilty in the eyes of the law....we the people have the right to our own opinion. Guilty.

Yep, we can, but when it begins to threaten others and accusations are made against jury members as to their purpose or reasoning it goes beyond just having an opinion. The vitriol spewed by many goes well beyond.

Here’s one of your comments. “Those jurors will be dodging this for the rest of their lives. Good.” Post 679

Wanting the jurors who saw a different case then we did, who spent 44 hours in the jury box, weeks in sequestration, and given specific legal instructions on how to decide the case and you want them to suffer? That’s not just having an opinion.
