Nothing!

I know and I thought Baez was an idiot, but he seems to have pulled it off.
I think judges should be stricter about what they allow. Obfuscation does not equal a fair trial. Somehow this jury saw George as a villain. They denied the opening statement affected them but stated that they didn't believe his testimony. So it obviously did color their opinion. I'm generalizing based on the one statement of the alternate juror which was in the link from my previous post. Listen to it, it's so shocking. I can't wait to hear from other jurors. I would be very surprised if not one comes forward.

And actually, the "one out of four" statistic covers reported sexual abuse. Think about all of the unreported abuse going on in this world. We'd all be baby killers.

Me neither but I'm leaning toward it never happened. It's staggering to think how many
actual cases are out there.
The defense team celebrated with champagne near the courthouse after the trial was over. I think that was in such poor taste. Later, Cheney Mason gave one of the reporters the finger caught in this lovely picture.

It's disgusting. Everyone is outraged and it is not about the defense at all. It is about being outraged at the injustice for Caylee's murder. The gesture was extremely disrespectful to her memory, and I am being kind here. Mason somehow thinks this is about him. Get over it, it's a high profile case and the media is covering it, if you don't like it, GO HOME!
