It is amazing that people get so invested in these cases. Those of you who are worked up, did you hear the state's attorney mention the fact that they had eleven other child murder cases currently awaiting trial just in that jurisdiction? Can any of you name one?

But for the media circus, this thing was pretty run-of-the-mill, absent the wonky scientific evidence. Just a typical (yes, that's sad commentary that such a thing could be typical) murder trial. Nothing to see here, move on.

As far as the jury goes, saying that you think someone is guilty and saying that the state proved all of the elements of its case beyond a reasonable doubt are two entirely different things.
