Not Guilty! Wow

Stole this from another board......

"It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, “whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,” and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever." ~ John Adams

Right or wrong you have respect the jurors....they had to make a decision based on the facts that were presented to them..and in the vast, vast majority of cases...they get it right. Not every time, as they are human as we all are. But, I really doubt they just ignored evidence, or had made up their minds beforehand. They most simply could not convict her on the evidence presented to them. They may even believe that she was most likely quilty. But thankfully and hopefully, they didn't judge by what they felt but took ther jobs seriously, like most of us would do.

I bet Bags would do her. You know he has needs! Would probably be the first one he would not have to pay!

I am sure to a person on that jury they think she did it.

But that is irrelevant when giving a verdict.

Those boobs of hers coming to a news stand shortly. Along with the rest of her slutty body.

Scott Peterson. Thankfully the jury was able to see it.
It reminds me of little JonBenet. May she rest in peace.

was beem on the jury?
Well Indiana let's see how you feel about "vigilantes" when it's YOUR ass that's been attacked.
The worst part is she is certain to get a book deal out of this that will get her six figures at least...maybe seven.

You are right that they dont have to prove anything. They can sit there and keep their mouth shut - but they didn't. The Defense offered up an alternate scenario of the child's death and as soon as they did that jury no longer had to exclusively consider the prosecution's case...they could consider the rationality of the defense. If you look at the BS the defense was serving up it floors me that the jury went along with it.

The fact that she buried a dead child and then lied about it until she got caught goes a long way towards conviciton in my book. All of the clubbing, tattooing, internet searches, duct tape, etc was just icing on the cake.
