But in reality they only need to believe beyond a reasonable doubt in their conclusion. Not about every single bit of evidence.

I think the objections at the end were minimized because of the Judge’s reprimands of both parties. At the end, the judge was fed up and you could see it.

And sadly, Baez told the jury what they wanted to hear. As mentioned at the top of this thread, most jurors are conditioned by TV to think that ANY doubt is reasonable doubt and that there has to be answers to all questions and that just isn’t the case.

But TV fantasies and people’s stupidity lead to juries like this one.

Even my husband, who only caught part of the trial and is conditioned professionally to weigh both sides (lawyer), is flabbergasted and appalled by this decision. He is walking around the house shaking his head at this stupid jury.

Remember who sits on a jury. Those that are too stupid to figure out how to get out of it.

Based upon some of the views I have read about this case I think the 'stupid' count has now far out numbered the reasonable count. Somehow justice for a killed small child means a lying slut walks because there is no utube video of mommy dearest applying the duct tape and bagging the body and tossing the bags in the swamp.

Remember what happened to Judith Regan for giving OJ a book deal.

She’s willing to give a DNA sample, she just wants to know if Caylee was her grandchild, I don’t know if it has anything to do with money, beside, the jury says Casey is innocent, so where would Donna McLean be getting money, who would she sue? A book deal maybe?

Keep in mind that they appeared to have a volatile relationship, apparently in regard to Caylee. As they (cindy and casey) had fought the night before, Cindy probably wasn’t too surprised that Casey took off for a bit.

Perhaps that's where the Prosecution dropped the ball. I think that was the motive. To teach Cindy a lesson. Of course, if the State chose to go through the crazy psychological history of the Anthony family we'd still be sitting in the courtroom at Christmas.

trouble with jurors who couldn’t see past the stark evidence staring them right in their respective faces

Yes, it seems to have been the case here as well IMO.

If there's any comfort for those who belief Casey did kill her daughter...well... Julie Chen broke down on cbsnews ..with a very heavy heart, you could see the pain in her face..had to ask for help from the co-anchor....... Attorenys and legal people are stunned, some stating they had not seen such a good case by the prosecution in the entire life of their careers....and yet the jury was blind to it.

Vinnie Politan is interviewing an alternate juror. Yikes. No wonder she was found ng. A real Obama voter.

Alternate Juror "Russ" on HLN with Vinnie. Good Lord in Heaven...if this man is indicative of the mentality of the rest of the jury that is one STUPID bunch of people. He agrees with the verdict "wholeheartedly." He blamed GEORGE and it sounds like they all did. He said he thought it was "a horrific accident that spun out of control." "George and the family chose to hide it, for whatever reason, because they couldn't deal with it."

As for Caylee's remains in trunk...he has a hard time believing it. Did not find the testimony of the people who "smelled death credible." Doesn't believe Caylee was even in the car.

Thinks the whole family was in cahoots in the disposal of the body.

God, I have to stop. This is too depressing for words.

Watch and learn. Casey will win millions from HLN. She may even bankrupt them. Just the truth. Your emotions rule your mind.

Sure she will, after she pays off Zanny the Nanny, and even old Kronk, might take a hit at her lies about him bagging her baby, but then again maybe she can get the same jury that gave this verdict today.

Jeff Ashton announced his retirement. NOT THAT’S A STATEMENT OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

The nasty bitch was acquitted of aggravated child abuse. What jury could acquit this woman of aggravated child abuse?

HLN just reported that Jeff Ashton is now retiring. It’s his last case.

Looks like Baez is doing a strategic default. If the laws in Florida allow him to do it and not have to pay a deficiency, it is a wise move on his part. That is a financial decision not related to his defense of Casey.

I suspect Baez will be making some pretty good bank off of this case. The prosecution screwed up this case; and that is not Baez fault. In fact, one could almost conclude that he made some mis-steps that should have helped the prosecution.

In the David Westerfield case, one could argue that maybe his attorney helped the prosecution by opening the door for the admission of evidence that would have otherwise been excluded.

No, I know you're upset. The media made you that way thanks to this sensationalist case, though I would have convicted Anthony if it were up to me.

We have far worse problems in America than this single case of a possible murderess going free. Read the posting history of the thread I was on and you'll see what I mean.

Conservative author PJ O'Rourke's observation now comes to mind that a woman's psychological makeup is that they'd ignore a fly ball in order to catch a falling baby without first examining how many men are on base.

I just saw that. Stunning, isn’t it? THIS is what we have to rely on for justice.

Forgot to mention...also felt Casey’s lies didn’t mean much because of “the dysfunction in the family.” And he didn’t believe GEORGE.

I am stunned. If there is any truth to Murphy’s suspicions

You can't believe anything that comes out of Wendy Murphy or Nancy Grace's mouth. During the Duke Lacrosse team ordeal, they both had outrageous "suspicions".
