I think that is where the jurors may have been confused too Jen. The law does NOT say the jurors must have no doubt. I think someone else tried to point out on another thread how television crime and television court dramas have given people misconceptions about reality and our real criminal justice system.
I personally know people who have been abused physically, sexually, mentally, verbally and every combination you can put together. They wouldn't kill anyone. Killing your child because you were abused as a child is a terrible defense in my opinion; but apparently in this crazy world we live in, it works.
It is sad to me to think that Casey Anthony may end up serving less time for killing her own child than Michael Vick spent for fighting and killing dogs. Our values are really perverted.
