[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 445419, member: 1514"] K...I understand exactly what you mean. I think that the public as a whole has become extremely prone to what I call the "TV CSI Effect" by which I mean people think what we see on TV is what can happen in real law enforcement and trials. It is so not real. Most police departments dont have access to crime labs like on CSI and trials arent over in 60 minutes. You dont find dna or fingerprints every single time. Bones and Booth dont come running to the rescue with all this fancy equipment to find some tiny little bone fragment that they can scan and send through fancy computers to spit out analysis which will say that someone was walking through a park in a certain subdivision near road X at 7pm on Tuesday after they ate lasagna. LOL. Also, the jurors did seem to not get the idea about circumstantial...with the raining analogy, is it raining...you are inside and last you knew it was sunny but you go outside later and the pavement is wet and there are puddles and you heard thunder. I think it is fair to assume that it rained. The jurors seemed to think she was guilty...I cant understand why they didnt find her guilty of something. No one has been able to explain that to me yet.
