I heard Levin last night.
He actually said that “the strand of hair” was 30 feet from the car in the house. That the state had no case.
I am DISGUSTED by Levin that he didn’t even know the evidence, and goes on national radio to criticize the prosecution of this case. He said he hadn’t followed this case, and just read up on it.
No matter what your view is, the prosecutors did not prove to even ONE of the jurors “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Casey was guilty of counts 1, 2, or 3. Not one single person of the 12 jurors (and we can also include alternate juror #14 as agreeing with them) thought that the prosecutors proved even one of those 3 charges merited their “yea” vote. To convict, they needed to a full 12 yea’s. The prosecution did not even get close to proving their case. Prosecutors greatly overreached in what they charged her with, given the evidence. The evidence did not support those charges. Prima facie: the jurors’ views trump all else.
If they had charged her with even one minor charge such as neglecting her child by, for example, “failing to call authorities in to investigate when she was missing”, and tuned evidence in such a manner as to convict at least on that charge, they would have achieved that conviction. The jurors would have agreed on that. They probably could have agreed on some things more egregious than that. The prosecution foolishly decided to demand that each of 12 jurors be convinced “beyond a reasonable doubt” that she knowingly and intentionally killed her child when all the evidence they had of murder was vapor. Not one of the jurors believes the prosecution met the standard - not one!
The prosecution greatly overreached. The evidence is indisputable - all anyone needs to accept that truth is the jury’s decision.
