Why should I answer? I am a know nothing. :) Yes I watched the trial. Not every second or minute, mind you. Real life tends to get in the way at times. I managed to catch up on what I missed.
Part of what I don’t “want it happen again” is for observers that did not watch the whole trial to shoot from the hip regarding the strength of the evidence.
Say that the next time someone such as Casey Anthony walks away as free as a bird. I am not questioning the strength of the evidence. It could have been presented differently. Would it have changed the verdict? Don't know.
From his book, "In Contempt:"
THE CASE HAD ALREADY BEEN MOVING ALONG slowly, toward trial, without me, and by the time I joined the prosecution, the first twelve jurors had already been selected. While I was assessing the strength of the case, I also decided to take a look at the jury. We were still choosing the alternates, but as soon as I saw the first-teamers, I could tell it was one of the worst juries--from a prosecutor's standpoint--that I'd ever seen. And I'm not talking about race. These were simply not happy-looking, motivated, or successful people. From the first day, I sensed that many of them were angry at the system for various insults and injuries--twelve people lined up at the grinder with big axes.
"They were the best of the lot," Bill said, rubbing his close-cropped beard. "If you think they're bad, you ought to see the ones who were coming up."
