You recite the law like it matters. If the law was followed by jurors Casey Anthony would be behind bars, OJ would on death row and this case would never have gone to trial.
I think the state should be more worried about jury nullification than the defense (which would be rveerse nullification in their case). There are six of jurors. The chances of all six of agreeing to convict despite overwhelming doubts of guilt is pretty slim IMO.
On Casey Anthony....blame the incomptent prosecution team. They overcharged...and went to the media with every little piece of info. When the govt does that in a criminal case...it is a signal the case is not strong
You are right on OJ....that was Black Racism with his acquittal
