12 "random" citizens, who were so clueless about what was going on in the world around them that they had never heard of this case before getting summoned for jury duty yet lived within a couple hundred miles of where it happened.

You mean 12 people that you've never met and have no idea who they are?

At least some of them had heard of the case, but felt they could be impartial.

Put this case in front of educated, well informed, judges and she would have been found guilty on all counts. Lucky for her, the system is set up for "peers" to decide your guilt. Orrr...maybe sensationalist media shows don't give the full story?

OJ- not guilty
Blake - not guilty
Michael jackson - Not guilty
William Kennedy Smith - Not guilty

I watched a replay of the verdict reading on cnn dot com. Not only did her parents not shout out with joy when the verdict was read, they didn't even smile. Her parents know she's guilty...why couldn't the jury figure it out??!! ...because the jury had the responsibility of deciding whether the burden of proof had been met.

It's easy to think she is guilty...but when the prosecution couldn't say how she was killed, where she was killed, when she was killed or why she was killed...pretty tough to say they proved beyond a reasonable doubt who killed her.
