I can't believe it either. I know there is alot of difference of opinion in the forums about whether the state met its burden; but to me it did. The evidence, I felt, lead to only one conclusion as to what happened to Caylee. I got a text message that Jeff Ashton has announced his decision to retire. I thought that he and Linda Burdick were excellent.
It will be interesting if there is any feedback from the jurors as to whether they actually believed she was innocent vs. whether they believed in her probable guilt but couldn't overcome their belief that there was reasonable doubt.
Yes, Gracie, she is free on all of the charges except the 4 convictions for lying to a police office; on those it's my understanding that the sentence is up to one year per charge. Since she has served 3 years already, and the charges can probably run concurrently, it remains to be seen Thursday what Judge Perry does; but he could release her, I think, for time served.
