Jury nullification?

It's possible that the jury (a single jurist?) thought Blake was justified in some sense.

The victim needed killing.

The difference in the Scott Peterson case was Laci was pretty. And I wouldn't hire Mark Geragos to fix a speeding ticket.

Maybe, but it appears that the jury room was always solidly in favour of aquittal. It would have taken Henry Fonda to get them to deliver a guilty verdict.
