This family was just not credible.However, that being said---the jurors did come of as a bunch of native California airheads,

Maybe you meant "naive"?

Anyway, I heard that the very first vote, taken immediately after selection of the jury foreman, was a unanimous "not guilty" on all counts.

IOW, the entire jury left that courtroom convinced that Sneddon had not proven his case. Apparently they spent the last week talking through each count to make sure they hadn't overlooked anything (or to convince themselves).

There were no subversives on this jury. The prosecutor simply did a horrible job, and has allowed a pedophile to walk.

Well, sure they did. After all, that horrid woman snapped her fingers at them. /sarcasm

Naive works too...I use Native Californian as a description of somebody who is a "native", grew up here, lived here entire life.Just a generalization...obviously there are a lot of solid decent people who live out here, but there are WAY too many airheads!

Will the tax payers now have to spring for Tom Sneddon's, the incompetent crusader, commiseration dinner at another over priced eatery?

The best baker in the world can't bake a cake unless he has the ingredients.

I think they should have held off even charging MJ unless and until they developed a more solid case.

Sneddon did suck it up and he needs to be fired after this fiasco and never work again.

But, I would have hung the jury if necessary to keep him from being declared not guilty.
