About the verdict - we may never know what really happened. But reasonable doubt figured large in the verdict, I'd reckon.

And the verdict makes Nancy Grace, the former-prosecutor-turned-TV-show-host, and her legions of rabid moron fans seething at the mouth for convictions, really angry, which is nice. She's of the opinion that anyone charged with a crime is guilty, and juries are just some pesky obstacle to punishment for those charged with crimes.

You are my hero CR. Anytime I showed any sort of "meh" attitude toward the case or said that the jury must have had a good reason to let her go and that we don't know the whole story, I got bombarded with "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT IS A LOCK SOLID CASE SHE MURDERED HER PRECIOUS BABY THE NEWS SAID SO THIS IS A DISGRACE WHAT ARE YOU, SYMPATHETIC TO BABY MURDERS BSDKUJFG IL NGFBUSDFBGAZ VYJHDZFGUAS

So yeah, I agree with you, 100%, CR.

Indeed. No one cared about this case until Nancy Grace picked up on it, which meant for me it was a waste of the emotional effort to follow. If she's unhappy, I'm happy.
