Having been on a jury, for a crime much less serious than murder, it is perfectly possible to believe that someone is guilty and yet acquit them because there is still reasonable doubt. I didn't follow this case that closely but from what I could tell the defense did a good job of throwing enough possibilities out there to create doubt, and the prosecution failed to drill it down in their rebuttal/closing arguments/etc. The fact that the DNA in the air test (whatever that's called) is relatively new may be another issue the jury had, and there is some issue with juries

Also, btw, the way to make juries full of people who can't get out of jury duty is to berate/insult/threaten people who actually serve on juries. Oh wait, they didn't come to the same conclusion you did sitting on your ass at home in front of the TV so THEY must be the morons.

Tearing up thinking about the sadness of a child dying is one thing. Most of that is emotionally manipulative anyway. But if you're feeling physically ill or sobbing, stop making it about you. This victim is one of many every freaking day and the only reason anyone here cares about her over anyone else is because mom's a modern day sideshow. Statistically 44 other people were murdered the same day she was. Who were they? Why don't you know?
