I agree with you as far as witholding judgement on the jurors, since I didn't hear what they heard. However, it's undisputed that this bitch partied for thirty-one days after her daughter was missing/dead. No loving mother does that, period. All I can say is, I know how I would have voted.
Our baby, our youngest, was very sick this week. She’s finally on the mend and we thank God that she’s better. But I was beside myself when she was so sick. Worried to death, didn’t sleep for almost two days, couldn’t eat or even drink. All I could think of was our child.
Mothers become single minded when it comes to their children. That, in my estimation, is how mothers should be, and that is what I see as normal. To have a missing child is just beyond imagining. Not much could be worse. And yet, she partied with a missing baby.
So, she is no one I would ever want to know or associate with, and at the end of the day, I absolutely don’t “get” what she most probably did, or what they proved she did (partied the nights away with the baby missing). Everything about her is foreign to me and would be to most women.
But the decision the jury was asked to make was whether or not she killed someone, not whether she is a strange, bad person.
That’s why the jurors have such a terrible job. Someone will always criticize them and think they were wrong.
But I think they did the very best they could with what they had. I hope that they can move on from this. It would be a shame if they couldn’t.
