After reading the verdict form, the jury made the only decision they possibly could. As far as I am concerned they did exactly what was asked of them and did it well. I think they gave their verdict a lot of thought and, unlike the Anthony jurors, have not been accused of just wanting to get out of there. I don't think that was the case with the Anthony jurors, either. You can feel whatever you want about a defendant, but gut feelings are not within the realm of the law. They, too, did what was asked of them.

Not everyone agrees with this verdict. It is the same in all cases. There are no "winners" here, but one side at some point has to win in a court of law given any case. It has been pointed out many times that not guilty does not mean innocent. There is no verdict of innocent. Neither party in this case is "innocent".

I have nothing but the utmost respect for our jury system and these and all jurors. Most times the unpopular verdict is the right verdict and takes a lot of courage to render. God bless them every one!

Let the healing begin for both families.
