[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 445724, member: 59"] Janet he said he didn;t hear the judge's instructions but if the judge told them that circumstantial evidence is just as important as other evidence they should not have been confused. He believes the whole social media thing is so new that we are just learning how it affects cases but that it is free advertising for the attorney, a free way for them to get inside the heads of the jurors. Beofre you had to wonder what the jury was thinking or hire shadow jurors, now you just read the social media. Since they saw the backlash of George's apparent lying about the affair they were able to go after him harder and make him look like he was involved. The sad thing is that apparently the jurors cared more about George having an affair and lying about it than they did about Casey lying about her 2 year old child being dead. They didn't believe George molested Casey they said so I would like to know then why Casey would have covered up for George since the theory was that she was afarid of him because of the abuse. Take away the abuse and you have no reason for a mom covering up the fact that her daughter accidently drowned in a pool. Perhaps they should not have cameras in the courtroom. It seems like no longer are cases decided on the evidence but by who is a better actor. Haozi I believe you are thinking of peremptory challenge. Cause to strike is what the judge uses to kick someone off for cause. Peremptory challenge if the freebies each side gets. Nancy [/QUOTE]
