I didn't watch mush of the case, why would I.I don't have to watch it to accept the rule of law. You are emotionally involved in the case, I am not. I have not grown angry, but strident in my defense of the system. A system that neither of us, hopefully, will ever need the security of.
I have been involved in many court cases. I have had the (Mis) fortune to be on four juries. Two of them criminal cases. I was jury foreman on a rape case for which we convicted. I was also on a Murder case that was dismissed due to lack of evidence after the prosecution rested. They didn't have enough evidence to convince the court to continue.
My wife was juror in a capital murder case that they acquitted on, even though every juror to a person was certain that the defendant committed the crime. However, the prosecution had NO EVIDENCE, only speculation. They acquitted and the judge went out of his way to spend time explaining that they did the exact right thing under the circumstances and due to the lack of evidence. He said that he would have been forced to acquit if it where a judge trial.
You are blinded by your desire for justice for a child, I can understand that, it is admirable. Your heaping of scorn upon the jury is wrong and misplaced.
If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at the prosecution and the investigators for not having a compelling enough case.
I am sorry. You just sound so angry.
Believe me; I am not blinded.
