Exactly right.
The prosecution was much too ambitious. They wrote a check they couldn’t cash.
There have only been two women executed in Florida, and both were serial killers.
Sadly, mothers kill their children too often, yet are never given the death penalty.
This case had a political element to it, probably because of the media attention.
They should have simply pursued manslaughter ONLY, not as a fallback to Murder 1 with death. The jurors couldn’t shake that.
As the medical examiner stated, duct tape anywhere on that child's face spells homicide, a capital crime. Therefore Murder 1 was the appropriate penalty
Since, as you admit, "the jurors couldn't shake that," they were not reasoned and based their verdict on their emotions and lack of critical thinking skills. They also applied the wrong legal standard by moving the goalpost of reasonable doubt to any doubt at all, as the alternate juror specifically stated.
Just because you are good with this abomination don't expect the rest of us to jump for joy.
