The only thing I can say with any certainty about this case is I pray I never have to serve on a jury in these circumstances.

If I give 6 weeks of my life (that I will never get back), sequestered, to do my civic duty...the evidence presented is sketchy, virtually every major witness is guilty of perjury and there is conflicting testimony by all the “expert” witnesses, I will be in jail myself.

I don't believe that convicting a person to life in prison or death should be a matter of...probability. Anthony did not present a sympathetic character.

The prosecution, for whatever reason, over charged and failed to prove their case. I read that there is an election coming up so the DA went for the “Gold”.

That being said...I think if Anthony didn't do it herself...she definitely knows what happened. Even with the lame defense...the prosecution couldn't get a conviction.

How could they overcharge, when they presented evidence for murder, manslaughter and lying to authorities? They were given an out with the manslaughter, but could not convict because the girl was attractive and female. If it was an unattractive father, he would be looking at the gallows now.
