>> Well, golly...they should have just contacted the Freepers here who know all<<

From what I’m seeing today I have less and less faith in Freepers. If there was even some doubt in the minds of those jurors it would have taken them much more time to come to a verdict.

Its NOT the jury’s job to convict.

It is the prosecution’s JOB to present the evidence for the jury to convict. the prosecution didn’t or couldn’t.
You are right...the jurors had ( or didn’t have) the information they needed. The message was “You didn’t prove your case...”

I would say the more uneducated and lower the IQ, the more 'OK' the person is likely to be with the verdict.
