Your comment about a village missing 12 idiots comes into my mind occasionally, upallnight, and I smile to myself...
I suppose the jurors feel they honestly did their best to follow the letter of the law. Some legal experts agree with them, incidentally, and while hindsight is a wonderful thing, it is easy to see that the state did not provide sufficient evidence - or acknowledge the deficiency of evidence - in terms of the exact cause and circumstances of death. For the prosecution to claim that Casey suffocated Caylee by putting duct tape over her mouth, when there was no direct evidence of this, was a flawed move. If I had been on the jury, I would have acknowledged the lack of evidence and the problem it caused but I know I would have fought for and insisted that the evidence be examined much more thorougly than it apparently was. I would also have stuck fast to the problem of her behaviour after Caylee's death. Thankfully for Casey I was not on the jury...
For all that, may the jurors be safe from ignorant and unlawful attacks.
