I watched the trial and remained as unbiased as I could (living in Orlando,FL and knowing of the case since the body was found). Weighing the state's case against the defense, I cannot believe she did not get a count of anything but lying. The defense's story changed multiple times and relied on nothing but dismissing scientific evidence as "fantasy magic" or whatever Baez called it.

No, the state may not have proved the first degree murder charge, but third degree was a DEFINITE due to child negligence. The jury may not have understood the charges after all...

People think that way too. I've noticed the more heinous a crime alleged against someone, or the more debilitating an injury suffered by a plaintiff, the more likely people are to subconsciously speak as though the person was guilty/responsible even without hearing evidence. It also seems to me to spill over in to accepting allegations of fact as true without regard for their likelihood.

Having said that I haven't followed this case much and don't know whether any representations by the media were deserved.

And you're obviously letting that color your judgment.

And who is a valid source? I'm not unreasonable, but you can tell me a thousand sources are unreliable, so give me one that is.
