There simply wasn't enough evidence to convict her.

In that regard, justice was actually served. Due to the lack of evidence, there was still reasonable doubt.

the 31 days she spent clubbing before reporting her child missing and then lying to the cops about it is all the evidence i need.

That is not proof that she murdered the child. Thank goodness you weren't on the jury.

True...but it is proof of far more than just lying to investigators.

The State of Florida and it's non-stop shenanigans continues to amaze me. I think this jury's verdict may break the Top 20 of 'effed up things to happen in the state of Florida .... although if I did my research, it may not make the top 100 ..... :(

What she should have been convicted of is child abuse/negligence.

Lots of dark comedy going around the internet with this case.

The opening defense statements said the child was not murdered---she died in the pool. OK. They are admitting that negligence occurred and she covered it up....but they still said no to manslaughter.

I am sure there is some technical law that I am missing. Maybe "negligent" manslaughter not on the table? But her own attys said the child died in the pool, and she knew it, and it was obviously covered up.

Nancy Grace to blame for the acquittal?

Plenty of evidence. The system failed. All you need is a little common sense. Didn't agree with the death penalty in this case, but if found guilty it didn't mean she was definately going to get it. Bitch should be spending the rest of her life in prison. But, I have a feeling her life on the outside isn't going to be all peaches n cream. Being the most hated woman in america.Well, On the train, I guess the second most hated....................behind sarah palin

4 Counts of providing false information to law enforcement. You know, the law enforcement that was trying to help her find her daughter. Here on out, only republicans can be jurors. We need common sense in the courtrooms, not political correctness.

it wasn't political correctness in the courtroom, it was the fact that the state did not prove it's case. period. end of discussion. you can not convict someone of murder in the first without a cause of death, and there was no definitive cause of death. any rational person would agree with that.

I think she did it, or at least covered it up, but what evidence proves that she killed the child? You're innocent until proven guilty, and unfortunately, she wasn't proven guilty.

You are correct that the state was not able to prove the case due to the guidelines that are given to the jurors. I wouldn't call it political correctness ... more to due with the bureaucratic nature of our court system. With the jurors making comments about how sick to their stomach they were with finding her not guilty tells me that they were able to make the correlation that she was guilty, but were not allowed to use their reasoning when making the final call.

It's crazy to me that because a body has decomposed beyond a state where you can identify the cause of death, the law forces jurors to shrug their shoulders and go, "Oh well, what are you gonna do?". Heaven forbid we allow ourselves to make logical conclusions based on reasoning and circumstantial evidence.

don't blame the jurors, blame the prosecution for filing the wrong charges against her.
manslaughter and criminal neglect would have been easier to prove.

ever try to win a game of clue without a murder weapon/cause of death?

Not one bit of DNA evidence to link her to the murder...

Right???

Was there any DNA evidence whatsoever that could link her to the crime????

No. DNA or otherwise. I understand people are upset. I was too. But after reading more and more about it, people should be upset at the prosecution. They went to trial with zero evidence. None.

She is still a disgusting excuse for a human being.

But everyone saying "the system didn't work". It did work - exactly as it is supposed to. The burden of proof is on the state and the state failed.

Gimmiesometruth27 pretty much summed it up. They failed to provide a cause of death. Without a cause of death, how can you convict someone of murder? It isn't what you know. It is what you can prove. And they couldn't prove it.

I really don't know much about this case at all, but a few guys in my band were talking about it last night and they mentioned that the grandmother of the child could have been the murderer as easily as the mother for how creepy she also seemed to be.
