I would not have convicted her either based on the evidence. The jury rendered the correct verdict IMO. Someone may look guilty, may even act guilty, but they are innocent until PROVEN guilty, which I don’t believe Ms. Anthony was. The prosecution couldn’t really offer a cause of death or even a legitimate motive. Baez dismantled the prosecution piece by piece. The prosecution didn’t help themselves make the jury think they were serious by openly laughing during Baez’s closing argument.
Weird that everyone thought the defense was amateurish and disastrous and the prosecution exemplary until 2:15 today. Lots of Monday morning quarterbacking.
The prosecution did pretty well with a circumstantial case and there was plenty of evidence. The jury fell for the defense’s mythological pool drowning idea which had absolutely no basis in fact. The jury failed to even consider the case. Pathetic. .
The jury was an ass.
The prosecutor that was laughing should lose his job. Totally unprofessional. What does that guy get paid?
I like how Michael Berry put it:
How can 12 people be so STUPID as to think that a woman who partied and didn’t report her child missing for 28 days, didn’t KILL HER?”
it is not up to the prosecution to prove cause of death or motive, a reasonable man/woman knows that a dumped body with duct tape over the mouth spells murder. That is the crime she was charged with, murder. The jurors bought into the Jonny Cochran defense that if you don’t know everything that happened, then there is reasonable doubt. That is a lie that they rationalized - the simple fact is that any position can be spun two ways, that is why society has abandoned morals but who are we to tell someone else what is right or wrong.
