All the evidence and facts surrounding this case only connect to one person and one person only. That person will be free to walk among you very soon.

Richie - I agree with your assessment of the effect of too much CSI etc. on juries and its affect on what constitutes "reasonable doubt." I made a similar post in one of these many Casey threads.

However, I do not think that the prosecution's case was compelling enough for capital murder. Personally, i have always thought she involved - but that the prosecutors did not connect the dots enough for me...
