My husband was watching a show on court tv last night, about a woman accused of killing her husband. The defense claimed it was a suicide but there was no gun powder residue on the husband's hands, neither was there evidence on the wife's hand or blood splatter on her clothing. The jury ruled for acquittal but added a statement that the jury had been unable to find the defendent guilty because the prosecution had not proved its case.

I wondered if court tv was showing this case as a comparison to what might happen in the Westerfield trial.
The prosecution is not doing a very good job of proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
