The downfall of this case was the so called forensics... The most scathing and discrediting move by the defense was when they simply recalled the prosecutions forensics folks to the stand and then questioned them into discrediting the so called science.
None of it withstood cross examination, especially the FBI’s lead crime scene tech.
The case was over at that point...
No I would say there was a rabbit anti death penalty individual on the jury, maybe more than one. If I had been on the jury the forensics would not have meant a damn thing, the little girl was missing, her mother did not report it, the car smelled like it had a dead body rotting in it. Hang Her!!!!!!
