The problem is reasonable doubt as to what? As the prosecutor said, someone in that house killed Kaylee, but they never really proved who or how, or whether it was first degree murder, negligent homicide, manslaughter, or something else.

They went for first degree murder with the death penalty. When you seek the high bar, you better makes sure you can clear it. They didn’t. Manslaughter or something lighter they may have got.

As I said, she is guilty, but the prosecution didn’t prove first degree murder. They should have either lowered the charges, made a deal, or put together a better case.

The jury had the option of finding her guilty of the manslaughter charge but came back with a verdict of not guilty.
