You and several others here persist in talking about a system that is NOT the system under which we live.
She was presumed innocent. The State was unable to prove her guilty beyond reasonable doubt. She therefore remains innocent.
The question is not whether or not she killed her child. The question was whether or not the State could prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that she did. It could not.
That is our system of justice.
If you don't like the system [and, btw, I don't] then change the system; don't measure it by reference to a set of standards that exist only in your mind... not in reality!

Go on, I'll buy it. What don't you like?
Some of the things I do like are: the presumption of innocence: the adversarial system; trial by jury. some of the things I don't like are: plea bargaining; elected judges; prison sentences for victimless crimes (e.g drug possession).
the system did not fail. she was arrested, she was locked up awaiting trail, she got her trial with a jury of her peers. that system did everything it was supposed to do. the prosecution on the other hand that had the job of proving her guilt failed and failed horribly.
Um.. you disagree with me, then say pretty much exactly what I did, insomany words?
She is not innocent in that she killed her child.
She is not guilty in that the jury did not believe she had done so beyond a reasonable doubt (I really want to know what the fuck was going through their minds..)
i got nothing, i am just assuming that chicks that been locked up for months and years on end would be looking for the first stiff cock they could see and fucking it till it was shooting blood cum and dust.
Anybody notice a common thread through this trial,the OJ murder trial,and the Michael Jackson molestation trial?
Nancy Grace,shooting her mouth off for weeks/months on end,during each trial,and assuring the viewers that a guilty conviction was so obviously proven,that the jury would have no choice but to send the defendant to the slammer!
She's now 0-3!
Maybe she'll finally learn to keep her mouth shut!

Of course absolutely so. Major problems were that the prosecution could not show a cause or time of death (the remains were skeletalized and had been out in the elements for I believe it was almost three years when recovered) and there was no DNA evidence. As to some of the lesser included charges there was no prior evidence of child abuse so the prosecution being unable to prove certain facts how could they show that the defendant had abused the victim?
There is at least one Forensic Psychiatrist in Boston who says that her behaviour could fit that of a person with Bipolar Disease who had suffered abuse.
Personally "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" but which it is of several possible theories I do not know.
No - I think she has real issues (Danger Will Robinson!) and I would not want to be on trial myself. Certainly as to having a relationship with the woman would you trust her with your child?
Now, how do you know that? Were you there? Did she tell you so? Did you gaze into a crystal ball?
Don't you get it? Guilt, innocence, etc. are questions of both fact and law, not a question of "Well, I think so!"

she will probably end up getting some type of Hollywood movie deal, plus there is no shortage of tabloids that will pay her for a story
Lots of scary stuff in this comment! #1 scary - some one watches Nancy Grace #2 Some one keeps track of Nancy Grace #3 Nancy Grace LOL!
I think she'll end up with a reality show. Remember 'Growing Up Gotti' ? The only reason that show was on the air was because the mother was the daughter of a notorious murdering slime ball.
I'm guessing that they are lining up outside her door because the slimy producers know that the bigger the moral outrage - the more viewers they will get.
I want to tap her 25 year old murdering ass. I'd pay a premium to do so.
I'd ream the shit out of her and choke her while saying "You fucking little sick slutty daughter killer" between my gritted teeth.
Good hard sex.
Meaning what? If they let a black man walk, they must be able to let a ....
Oh, never mind OJ, how's Robert Blake doing these days?
I'm not a lawyer (obviously) and haven't been following the trial, mostly because it's a tragedy and I like to avoid tragedy when I can, but simply by looking at some post-trial coverage on CNN, I think the prosecution made a few key mistakes. One was the over-charging, in particular the demand for the death penalty. Generally speaking, juries do not want to send anyone to death, and especially a white mother. If they do, they need absolute proof with no reasonable doubt, which was not provided. There was no cause of death, no time of death. Perhaps if the prosecution had charged her with manslaughter (I must confess my ignorance of what degree of manslaughter would be appropriate) they would have had a better chance at conviction. Also, it does seem like the defense team know what it was doing, and kept the jury's focus on the trial, and not on the media coverage. I haven't read enough about the case to form an opinion one way or another, and even if I had been following the case closely, I still wouldn't claim to be in a better position to make the call than the jury who actually heard all the evidence and testimony, but it's clear that if you define a crime by the 'absence of reasonable doubt' the evidence did not point to murder.
Whatever actually happened, it's a tragedy. Also, for the people who are saying 'oh I would tap that', just because you say something 'outrageous' and 'edgy' does not automatically make it funny or even that interesting. GG2, I know you think you're a badass because you are misogynist and not 'politically correct', and you think that since you're on a escort review board, these qualities are celebrated, but the reality is that you're not a badass, and you aren't held in esteem because of your edgy comments, you're just a profoundly disturbed person. To mix sex with a topic with this measure of tragedy is unconscionable
