[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 447090, member: 1550"] Nancy, thank you. Wow. This is part of my theory of how Casey got away with it, even though in my opinion there was plenty of evidence she killed her, at least accidentally. My biggest reason is that she is a pretty young lady. Had she been a man (in fact they blamed George and Lee...the men), a minority woman or a fat,ugly, toothless white women...there is no doubt in my mind that she would have been convicted whether Baez made up the stories or not. This makes me doubt the jury system. I wonder how many times jurors just aren't bright enough to understand forensics science or to comprehend the meaning of reasonable doubt. I actually think a panel of maybe four judges would do a better job. At least they have high education levels and most jurors don't. I was shocked when I heard the reasons the jurors gave for finding Casey not guilty. The foreman, who was only thirty, pretty much said, "Nah, it doesn't bother me that she partied the day she allegedly found out Caylee had drowned. I mean, that's what people our age do. We like to party." And he was the foreman. I read that the IT guy thought she was guilty, but finally went along with the others because they didn't know how Caylee died. Don't remember where I saw that. [/QUOTE]
