The point is that YOU were not a part of the jury, so have nothing to back up your claim, except what you saw on TV.
The jury, on the other hand, was privy to all of the evidence, and came to the proper verdict.

The careful followers of the trial had more info than the jury, and access to video replays and written transcipts -- save in one area -- the overwhelmingly prejudicial porn charges. No experts in psychology or criminal habits testified as to how porn is linked to murder. The porn was used to emotionally charge the jury, against the already massive barrage of media spin against Westerfield.
The porn charges -- especially sans experts to testify as to weight in motive -- should have been a seperate proceeding, and not in the murder trial.
