fortunately that's not how guilt is decided in this country. The defense did their job and the system worked. If you don't like the results then propose a better system

I didn't say I don't like the system. I agree that it is the best in the world, but it still has its flaws. Not saying the flaws are avoidable, but they are still flaws. I think that in setting the burden of proof at an ambiguos "without reasonable doubt", these sort of trials are inevitible once in a blue moon.

this is what i've been saying. you have a bunch of stupid people who got caught up in debating every little piece of evidence instead of looking at the evidence as a whole. the prosecution screwed up here obviously.

Here is the point we agree.

Do I think she killed her? Absolutely. I have my doubts whether it was premeditated or not, but I think she did it.

That said, the prosecution could not put the pieces together to convit her of it. Unfortunately, that's part of it.

and that's all that's needed. All this "common sense says..." crap does not hold in a court. Prosecutors have to prove guilt or they lose. Pretty simple

if you mean that I am ok with a person being found innocent because of lack of evidence then you could be right. Not happy some little girl got killed though

yup arguing premditation was a bit silly. obviously she could have been using the cloriform to shut the kid up and didn't mean to kill the kid. still is murder 2 though.

Not sure why that's so hard to figure out. Emotions are high in this case, but there still has to be due process and has to be proven.

The chloroform search seems premeditated to me.

There will be those that think the justice system worked and those that think she just got away with murdering her daughter, doubt these two groups ever see eye to eye and just about every logical point that could be made, has been made.

please keep in mind that these are the same people that when handed the jury lunch menu would always order a steak that wasn't on there and at least once a month would order an alcoholic drink. I would seriously hate to put my fate in the hands of these people's common sense

So you got to have video, DNA, or fingerprints or the prosecution is pretty much screwed?

So you're admitting that they have poor judgement, thus their decision could actually be the wrong one?

always a possibility but if they say they have reasonable doubt then they did the correct thing. All this other stuff is just trying to act like the media and convict without facts

DNA is only 99% accurate. Video tape can easily be tampered. Finger prints can be sliced off of dead people and glued to your own. There is no way of "proving beyond reasonable doubt" if the defense is able to throw out wild situational possibilities that have as little liklihood of happening as the circumstantial evidence being wrong.
