No I didn’t listen to the talking heads, I never listen to them about anything, ESPECIALLY not show trials. I have almost none of the evidence the jury was presented. I can take in plenty of information but I don’t have all the information the jury has. I am able to come to reasonable conclusions, but I also understand that because my information set is different than yours or the jury’s my conclusion will probably be different.
Nobody is calling anybody a simpleton. you’re the one obsessed on that word. I’m pointing out, the same as the media is, that information sets are different and therefore conclusions are different and nobody needs to be a simpleton to have different conclusions.
To me the case revolves around one sentence from the prosecutor. He said in his closing argument “we don’t know how she died, we don’t know when she died, we do know somebody in that house killed her”. To me that sentence reeks of reasonable doubt. If I was sitting on a jury and the prosecutor said that I’d vote to acquit regardless of anything else that’s gone on. To me if the prosecutor gets to the end of the trial with that many unknowns there’s no way to convict. That’s me, that’s my conclusion from my information. People who disagree aren’t simpletons, they just have a different information set.
While I don’t necessarily disagree with your premise, even a cursory knowledge of the facts causes one to be unable to dismiss guilt on that statement alone.
Casey tried to blame the loss of her child on a baby-sitter, her ex, her father... and last but not least an accident.
The parents didn’t know where the kid was. They kept asking Casey and got nowhere.
She was finally forced to call in the police, but not before a considerable amount of partying and getting a tattoo that said, “The good life”
Acquit this woman? No.
Look you can call me obsessed over the word simpleton if you like, that’s what the folks who think Casey was guilty and criticize the jury are being cast as, and I’m going to push back on that for the B.S. propaganda that it is. You don’t have to like it.
