I know damn well that she did it. After all, the same duct tape found in her garage matched that over the kids mouth (don't know if the tear marks on the tape matched up or not). I guess I just don't know what reasonable doubt is in some people's mind.

I was on a double execution home invasion case as Foreman about 15 years ago (coincidentally, a few blocks from the North Hollywood Bank of America robbery while it was going on). Heard taped conversations between the perps in the jail cell saying that they did it, fingerprints, stolen credit cards, bloody footprints that matched the perps sneakers, everything. We barely got one or two jurors to agree to the lesser penalty of LWOPOP. Juror's were saying things like "But he was Captain of the Compton Basketball team" and crap like that. In the guilty/not guilty phase I had to keep reminding them that our sole purpose at that point was to make a finding of whether they did it or not; nothing else.

I'd have held out for a hung jury on Anthony before I'd vote "not guilty", let the State try her again.
