Who cares what you or anybody else wants. Who cares what you or anybody else believes. It is altogether irrelevant to reality.

She is a free woman, as well she should be based upon the fact that she has been adjudicated not guilty in a court of law.

The jury DID their jobs. They debated the merits and evidence of the case in secret according to the instructions given to them by the judge and agreed upon by the defense and prosecution lawyers. They judged by their own conscience that they could not find the defendant guilty of any crime above lying to the police.

To speculate any further motives to the jury is highly unseemly. To judge them less intelligent than yourself is highly elitist and unfair. They did not ask to be jurors, they where compelled to sit on the jury by force of law. They where robbed of several weeks of their freedom and where separated from their families for days on end. We owe them our appreciation for doing their civic duty and nothing less.

Shame on you for unjustly accusing them of wrong doing. It is slanderous and mean spirited.

Regardless, all your ranting and raving is useless. there is no recourse. She is free to pursue her life to the best of her ability as any other person in this country.

Our court system has appeals and decisions get overturned all the time. We cannot overturn this one, but we can give our opinions. Many are frustrated and if judging this jury will keep the next jury honest and fair, so be it. I hope that is the result...and heck, not only would I shun Casey, I would shun every one of those jurors. No explanation will ever suffice. Let them prattle on, the more they do the more criticism will come their way. They had the option of staying quiet, they chose to defend it. Let the debate continue.

It is your opinion that jury did their job correctly. The only fact is that they did come to a decision, not that they did it as effectively as is required or came to the best conclusion.

I don’t get this concept some like you have here that the results of a jury are unimpeachable and can’t be criticized. This is the same as saying an elected politician cannot be criticized for their actions in office simply because the people elected them to that position. Seems counter-intuitive with the purpose of freerepublic, to be honest...that we can’t be critical of the outcome of a legal or political events. Strange.
