Proves nothing. It was explained that the fact that the body was so decomposed, spent so much time in a swamp during a huricane no less, that there would be little if anything to find.

You're right, the prosecution proved nothing. They had to have an airtight case to get a conviction and they didn't.

I'm not happy about the way this thing went down and was shocked as anyone when I heard the verdict.

I wonder how much of putting a *woman* to death played into the decision? From what I hear, Floridians don't like that prospect.
