I'm not talking about you Smoothy, but read the entire thread, you'll see what I'm talking about.
I'm just upset because I did my homework. I watched this case unfold for 3 years. I watched every second of the case, every day in court, every person that was brought to the witness stand, all the evidence. I watched it all, and I'm still watching the after math.
My belief is that the jury wasn't well educated in "reasonable doubt". Most of them said they thought Casey was guilty, but wanted a "smoking gun", or DNA evidence, or a clear motive, or witness. That makes me mad. This is real life, not TV or the movies. The body was under water for months. NO DNA! I've never seen a case that actually has video tape of the crime being committed. Motive, that's easy, Casey wanted freedom. The jury wanted too much. They weren't smart enough to realize that the things they wanted, in real life, aren't always possible. There was enough circumstantial evidence to prove the case. IMO. :)
