I tried to avoid the coverage but from what little I was forced to endure ;) it seemed to me the prosecution didn't make their case. Did Nancy Grace's head explode?

I really HATE these TV show trials. I don't think either side can get a fair shake.

THat's my guess as well. Prosecution fail.

That would be great.

Same here. I avoided the coverage as much as I could, but from the bits I heard/saw, it seemed like it was a slam dunk. Was Marcia Clark in charge of the prosecution? :saywhat: :shakehead And speaking of Nancy Grace, gotta love the pic of her on Drudge:

I have kids, and I don't give a **** either. A long time ago a little girl I didn't know died, and some other people I didn't know may or may not have caused it to happen. None of my business, and I don't need to hear about it on the news everyday. Despite the media's best efforts, this has absolutely zero impact on my life.

if she gets the max of 1yr for each of the 4 guilty verdicts she will only have one year left of her sentence being she has been in jail for 3yrs now. :thumdown::shakehead:thumdown:

[cameraman]

"Reasonable doubt" is a high hurdle. From what little I have read, the prosecution had little or no solid evidence beyond that she is scum.
Not guilty does not mean innocent.

this case has absolutely 0 connection with anything with my life, family, community, career, etc. none whatsoever. it does, however, have 2 of the 3 guarantors of criminal celebrity: "attractive," "affluent," "caucasian."

parenthood is not why this case is a show trial, there's plenty of sickening crime in our own communities every week that doesn't receive a fraction of a percent of the attention this case did.

my community. I, irrationally, am invested this. but it's thoroughly meaningless to the rest of the country and not unique in the least.

[dando]

Not guilty does not mean innocent.

Yup. OJ redux. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit. :shakehead Scum is to gentle in this case.

@Ed_Servson: sorry you feel that way, but with DDs 5 and 7 I have a heightened awareness for ANY child abuse, deaths, murders, etc. Justice was not served in this case, IMO.

I don't know anything, but when someone was trying to explain it to me I asked one simple question. If she was gone (and presumably dead) for 1 month before being reported missing, why can't anyone blow a hole in the story? They had no explanation. If they couldn't prove that she didn't have her daughter that whole time, why did they even try the case?

[SurfaceUnits]

hearing her lawyer call her a lying slut moved her up a couple of pages in my book

I've listened to less than one full sentence of coverage. Read about it in the paper three years ago when the arrest was made. Weird story.

Our world should protect little people like this poor child. It is an outrage when it doesn't. But she was already dead and all that was left was the circus this mother was going to provide for Giraldo and Nancy Grace. I passed.

Add to that, I've often felt that "Florida judicial system" was an oxymoron. This wasn't going to end well. Indeed, from what I can tell there wasn't evidence sufficient for the death penalty -- despite what the prosecution wanted. There WAS evidence the mother had some role in the death -- a negligent accident -- but that's not what the prosecution went for.

[KLang]

I don't get how one misguided prosecution indicates anything about the "Florida judicial system". :confused: Seems to me that could happen anywhere.

Having lived in Florida, all I can say is that it is uniquely strange and dysfunctional. I am not sure why, but it is an odd collection of characters with motives and patterns of behavior not entirely like those in the rest of the country. It's sort of wacky and wonderful, but sometimes just wacky. :gomer:

Me too! Wait. What?

I guess I could contribute this: my only jury experience taught me that if you find according to the law, the evidence, and the rights of the accused then sometimes things aren't as obvious as they might seem on TV (or to a crowd with a rope). But then there's also the growing problem of juries who expect some kind of CSI moment in the trial. :\

Lived near Miami for a couple years and couldn't get out fast enough. :D Had nothing to do with the Florida judicial system though.

It was like opposite ends. OJ jury didn't understand DNA and this one wanted the smoking gun (so they say).
