If it’s so bleedin’ obvious that she killed the poor child, how is it that they failed to prove their case?

When the coroner cannot identify the type of the homicide as in this case, there is no case.

The prosecutor screwed this up, they are to blame for this travesty of justice.

Not true and illogical. John Wayne Gacey was convicted of murder when several of his victims skeletons were unearthed from his basement. The coroner couldn’t identify the cause of death on those victims either. There was a person convicted of murder in Boston a few years back that had no body.

That’s not true. People have been convicted of murder without a body at all, and obviously a coroner can’t indentify cause of death with no body. Obviously a cause of death would’ve helped, but your problem with the prosecution is the strength of their other evidence.

Did you follow the Scott Peterson case? Nobody can say for sure how Laci died. Also, Charles Manson was convicted without ANY evidence he has actually killed anyone.
