When one of the jurors said that the prosecution couldn't even say for certain how the child was killed...
well, there is a serious problem for the prosecution's case.
That is so untrue under Florida law. They didn’t have to prove exact cause of death, nor a motive, even though I think they did a good job in doing so. The jurors were instructed to that fact as well, but the band wagon jumpers think they know differently and it’s obvious on several levels the jurors didn’t follow instructions, but followed the checkbook.
I read that same article. Followed it as close as I could and got the same take. Don’t care what you have on them, if you can’t prove how the victim died you don’t have squat.
The prosecutor in I believe the closing argument also said ‘someone in that house killed Caylee’. Well ‘someone’ isn’t good enough, it was Casey who was on trial. All they could come up with on her was she was a bad mom (i.e. nuts and sluts).
Knew right there the case was blown on those three strikes.
So, let's see.....a mom and her three-year old daughter walk into a building together. A short time later, the mom is seen leaving the building alone. She goes to see some friends, goes out dancing, and gets a tattoo, and then engages in similar behavior for the next 30 days. She never shows any sign that she's worried about her daughter, who hasn't been seen since the mom left the building alone on the first day. After thirty days, other family members report the child missing.
Six months later, law enforcement finally searches the building and finds the daughter's dead body, arranged neatly in a corner of a closet wrapped in the child's favorite blanket. The body is so decomposed that toxicology tests don't generate any usable results. Law enforcement questions the mother, who tells them that the child has been at camp for six months. When police officers search the mother's home, they find traces of arsenic along with Internet searches on the home computer (dated prior to the child's disappearance) for terms like "killing with arsenic" and "arsenic poisoning."
Police arrest the mother once they find out that the camp she told them about doesn't even exist. She is charged with first-degree murder.
What's the verdict?
Then how come so many experts have stated that in a murder case the jury is told the prosecution does not have to prove HOW the victim died. Therefore the jury should not take that into consideration when rendering a verdict. And since they stated they DID they dishonored Judge Perry as well as Caylee.
