OJ simpson was found not guilty in criminal court, but still guilty in civil court and forced to pay the families of the two people he killed for murder. You can't be found guilty in civil court, bro | ||

Are courts infallible arbiters of truth? She was not found guilty legally, but people can hold whatever opinion they like. | ||

If she was found guilty then it's within the realm of possibility that she could get a new trial if there was an appealable issue but obviously that's not the case. I didn't follow the case extensively but from what I understand there was reasonable doubt, if we imprisoned everyone that probably did it innocent people would inevitably get convicted and that's not a world that I think the majority of us want to live in. | ||

He was did not win his case in civil court, and was charged with a monetary penalty, but in criminal court he is still not guilty. Pretty obvious both in this situation are guilty. | ||

The fifth amendment prevents double jeopardy, so she cannot be charged with the first degree murder of her daughter again. I don't know how it works for slightly different charges, but I don't think the prosecution would be able to convict, unless some new evidence came into play. | ||

Yes though you are right, I should not use my common sense on this case and instead defer to a legal system for determining my judgment. Again it just means the jurors, 12 people, decided it was not without a reasonable doubt, not that she did not do it. She obviously did kill her child IMO. The justice system is wrong a lot of the time. they could not get a "smoking" gun, but it was pretty clear to most people. Right, what you know from the media obviously trumps the mountains of evidence and testimony presented to the jurors. I'm not saying it's probable that she didn't do it. With my limited knowledge, I think it's probable that she did. But I recognize that: 1. I really don't know enough to make a truly well-informed decision, and 2. I think society should refrain from demonizing or incarcerating suspects who "probably" committed a crime. Letting the guilty go free sucks, but it's preferable to wrongful convictions. | ||

Yeh let's send her to gaol/give her the death penalty even though there is a small yet existent possibility she is innocent >.< | ||

Of course she may have done it, and lied about it, but there is no proof...and the defense played upon that by introducing new evidence about child abuse, sexual abuse, chronic lying, misparenting, etc...all sorts of stuff. | ||

I hope she is killed, but think about it realistically, if she gets killed it will be by someone in prison who has nothing to lose. I think it is highly unlikely she is killed anywhere other then jail/prison. | ||

If she were to admit right now that she did it I'm not sure what the state's recourse would be if any. | ||

I meant to speak to child abuse, not neglect. Do you know the legal criteria for aggravated child neglect and what the evidence to prove each one is? Nope do you? I'm just a bystander. | ||
