I don't consider any of this common sense. It may be emotion and assumption but not common sense. And thank God the law is not (solely) based on what some consider common sense.

I suppose I didn't make clear that I DO understand the difference between innocent and "not guilty". I understand, and agree with the jury's verdict. There was not enough evidence to convict. That doesn't mean I don't think the bitch did it.
A liar does not a murderer make in an American
court of law. My point is that if you are innocent of a crime, you know the truth will save you, and therefore, you tell the truth. That sounds like common sense to me.
She's just lucky it took investigators 6 months to find the body, or else there'd probably be some pretty damning physical evidence.
