[QUOTE="Malika, post: 443725, member: 11227"] I do feel Mattsmom makes some good points. I also personally think it unlikely that the jury were motivated by wanting to come to a quick decision so that they could go on holiday, etc. At the same time... I heard the alternate juror speaking about why he feels they came to a not guilty verdict and if that is representative of the jury's thinking, it frankly wasn't very impressive. Muddled thinking, and just as emotional, really, as voting her guilty because that looks so obvious. I would blame the "system" more than the individuals in the sense that they presumably honestly did their best to follow the guidelines, or the guidelines as they understood them. But the fact that someone would not report their child "missing" and display no signs of grief or distress or active looking for the child to me is "evidence" that points to guilt and saying that someone could behave like this because they come from a dysfunctional family is simply stretching credulity. For me, the problem in this case is that we do not know exactly WHAT Casey is guilty of - aggravated child abuse or premeditated murder. And because there is no evidence relating to manner of death the whole thing could collapse. It is a tragic and perfectly legal miscarriage of justice... [/QUOTE]
