The prosecution proved the case. The jurors are idiots IMO.
Right....
>>The prosecution proved the case. The jurors are idiots IMO.<<
I tend to disagree. The jurors seem to be in good company.
I find it interesting that it has been said over and over that the prosecution was depending on emotion, rather than facts, that those that still think the jury was wrong are the ones that seem to be offering emotional responses themselves. That’s ok, but it is not how courtrooms should work.
the Jury was thinking “Me following legaleeze. Me be smart juror” instead of asking “Did that woman kill her child?”
“The prosecution proved the case”
OK, then, since you paid attention: Please give one concrete example of a piece of evidence that proves she killed her child.
Even if they couldn’t prove murder, they proved abuse, but the 12 idiots couldn’t grasp that
The prosecution overestimated the intelligence of the jury. People are no longer taught logic or deductive reasoning in schools. The State needed to work in a Logic 101 course and spoon feed "connect the dots" for the jurors.
Never assume people have common sense

What would be the motive for 12 independent strangers to conspire to acquit? Not race like some accused in the OJ trial. Not opponents of the death penalty, because they had to be approved by the prosecution as death penalty qualified. Not idiots, seem to be productive members of society. Could it possibly be that the prosecution did a lousy job from beginning to end? They should have never made it a death penalty case, even Susan Smith didn’t get the death penalty. Never had cause of death. And their biggest mistake was Mr. Crunk and George Anthony. Casey Anthony was attacked, rightfully so, for her actions while her daughter was missing, but what about George Anthony. He sleeps around with the volunteers that are looking for his missing granddaughter. WTF is that about. If the best you have is circumstantial evidence you better have extremely credible witnesses. Prosecution should have known better and went for aggravated manslaughter. It would have been a sealed deal rather then an acquittal.
