All the points you made were very on target...and most likely they were true.

However, the prosecution made some very big mistakes as in going for capital murder instead of manslaughter...focusing on Casey’s character ( which, granted is not what we would want for our daughter..ha)and then not having specific evidence for what the charges were.

As for the dysfunctional family...well, that sure explains a lot of Casey’s bizzare behaviors and lying ( not that those are ok) and THAT is what the prosecution made the focal point. That whole family lies all the time, a skill Casey perfected. After all, they had her lie and so did the family that she wasn’t pregnant for over 7 months of her pregnancy. Just dumb of the prosecution to go on and on about that. that ironically helped the defense.

The defense ‘s role is to present a case that disputes and tears appart the prosecution’s case...and if they did that they have a right to celebrate ( even if it looks bad as PR)You can bet the prosecution would be giving themselves High-fives if they won !

...If that was me charged with something, I WANT the best defense possible! I want all the protections of the law AND I want that defense team to win. The Duke boys got a great defense too and I celebrated that one.

Even if the smell in the car was of a dead body...the prosecution had to link that better to Casey...and they didn’t.

And that may be true, but, the alternate juror wasn't even convinced there was decomp in the car. I'm sorry, they weren't paying attention, the defense was really good at confusing them, or the prosecution in the courtroom totally sucked. That was the ONE point that seemed incontrovertable from everything I read.

From everything I've seen or read, the dysfunctional family was the DEFENSE'S primary arguement, not the prosecution. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Either waym it seems it worked.

Of course the defense has a right to celebrate..........they show total stupidity doing it in full view of cameras. JMO.
