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

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.

I didn't assume anything, the jury said they didn't prove their case.

Then you are simply unable to understand the word "assumption", because their are other possibilities. It's possible that the jury was tampered with, or bought, for instance, or my favorite, STOOPID IDIOTS.

It is a fact that the jury gave a verdict, but it is not a fact that the state didn't prove it's case. That's a matter of opinion or assumption.
