It's JonBenet all over again. If she didn't kill that child, whom she never reported missing for weeks, who the hell did?

A woman on my friendslist, who is in the hospital on bedrest and has thus watched the whole trial, said that the prosecution had very little hard evidence to present. She wasn't surprised.
I still wonder who killed JonBenet.

I swear we need to make concealing the death or disappearance of a child a felony.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sounds more like it was really a verdict of "not proved" rather than "not guilty", then.

Yes we do, dammit.

Exactly, Zen. And Ginger, I agree.
God, it makes me so angry. So many things not right about her behavior, and yet, the evidence isn't there. Infuriating.

Well, the standard of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt". If the prosecution failed to meet that, then the jury really had no choice.

I can't believe the verdict. But I think the biggest problem in the not proven part is that they didn't prove cause of death, which I guess made the accidental drowning a reasonable doubt.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it sounds to me like the woman should have gone down for negligent homicide at the very least. but I don't know what Florida's rules are.

I'm not sure the jury had that option.
