This IS the best legal SYSTEM in the world. The plain fact is that the prosecution presented a case with no real physical evidence and no witnesses. Jurors are not supposed to find someone guilty based on emotion or on how they “feel”. I think the jury did exactly what they were supposed to do. Perhaps this will discourage prosecutors from caving to public pressure and rushing cases, although I highly doubt it.
That the jury did not at least convict her of aggravated child abuse knowing she never contacted authorities is evidence that the jurors are either morons or mentally ill. Juror 14 is definitely mentally ill since he has stated that Casey was a good mother.
You don’t need either physical evidence or witnesses to convict somebody. Circumstantial evidence is to be considered just as strongly. Jurors are supposed to think and examine. This jury did neither. Beyond a reasonable doubt to these people was if it wasn’t on video, it didn’t happen. No reasoning powers at all. Don’t bother taking time to try and connect the dots and use common sense. Unfortunately this isn’t the last time this is going to happen. In todays world everything has to be perfect like on CSI.
