I agree with a lot of what you say but I think it goes back to jury selection. I can't get past that. "There's no evidence that a crime was committed". Seriously? I am starting to think that it wasn't so much that the jury had no clue about dysfunctional families, but more like they related too much to dysfunctional familes and maybe they were thinking that "oh, I see what happened- there was family chaos one night, the child is dead the next day, someone tried to cover it up and hide it- what's the problem?- you can't prove who did it or what happened." Like they can see how a person could panic if a child dies (no matter how) and dump the body in a swamp and it's understandable if you didn't actually intend for the child to die. That's all I'm hearing from the jurors, the ones that are talking anyway. Maybe it's the culture in Fl- "this kind of stuff can happen, no big deal".
