They simply could not prove their case.

That is your assumption. Mine, is that the jury had a collective IQ that was the equivalent of a box of rocks.

I agree. The jury actually thought they were smart. They don’t realize they were as dumb as a bucket of rocks. I’d be embaressed if I were them.

I didn't assume anything, the jury said they didn't prove their case. That is the way our system works and has worked for almost 250 years. Your opinion on the matter is worthless. You where not on the jury. The jury followed the law and the instructions to the tee and they where Death Penalty Qualified, meaning they where willing, if the crime was proved, to impose the penalty of state sponsored killing.

The fact is that the state couldn't prove it's case.

For better or worse, the jury was just as smart or as stupid as any randomly chosen group of voters.

Surely then it was a jury of her peers...

'spose we should have an IQ test for jury pools now. I'm afraid after the IQ test, the lawyers DQ'ing potential jurors, and folks not being able to get the time off work, we will be left with nobody on the juries.

It’s appalling that Casey’s pool drowning story was brought up the night before the trial began, though the story circulated as gossip from somewhere and had early on led her mother to informed Casey of it in the jail video back in 2008 or ‘09. The look on Casey’s face and her own reaction to the rumor was as if to pure fiction. Then she turns around and uses it at the last minute, according to HLN. Sadly it caught on and gave legs to undermining George and exposing him to weakness with that what’s her name.

That Casey got a pass is debatable. Wouldn’t she rather be safe in jail than fearing for her very life every breathing moment of the day and night, estranged from family and friends and any connection to human kindness, but on the run, in hiding and disguised. It will be some island country or Mexico for her. Maybe Aruba.

Well said.

I would have voted first degree murder in a heartbeat. No mother behaves as Casey did after the accidental death of her child.
