“I’m hearing ‘it wasn’t proven beyond a reasonable doubt’ all over the TV.”

The problem is that the legal standard has become “proof beyond the idiotic doubts of 12 people, all of whom are too stupid to get out of jury duty, while stupid enough that the defense lawyers want them on the case.”

I disagree, I think they used their juror status to ‘punish’ the prosecution.

While I agree— the prosecution should never be allowed to run willy-nilly over a citizens rights... being a juror isn’t about punishing the accuser, whist ignoring guilt and facts—leaving the victim without any rights or justice.

The 14th juror showed ignorance, in my mind. It also appears they discussed this before it was given to them—I suspect that would have been LESS likely if they had NOT been sequestered.

Orlando paid a big bill for all this and now Orlando will prob’ly pay for the Anthony family to have body-guards for a while.

justice denied....
