Except I don’t believe the jury went on reasonable doubt. They were troubled because there wasn’t VIDEO or something to show Casey willfully murdered her child. The goofy alternate said that he suspected George had something to do with the murder.

The Judge should have refused to let the Defense go with the stupid pool defense. But I suspect he thought the jurors were smarter than they turned out to be.

The jury fell for Baez's "George bad guy, dysfunctional family" gambit. Do you find it as ironic as I do that he begged the jury to avoid an emotional verdict, and in the end they did anyway and that is what spared his client?

Of course they didn't. This jury used any doubt whatsoever. By that standard, no one could get convicted, even if their were finger prints on the duct tape, or high definition video of the crime. One of the idiot jurors would have said "I don't trust the finger prints, I saw once on TV that they can be put there by the police to frame someone." and "That video is suspicious, I saw how the government made those fake moon landings video."
