I'm not even sure I can comprehend that. Fine, maybe the Prosecution couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was guilty of 1st Degree Murder. BUT HER CHILD WAS MISSING for 31 days! Not aggravated manslaughter?
Re: What??? Not guilty?
I'm confused about how they could find her guilty of lying to the police about it without finding her guilty *of* it. If she didn't drown and she didn't kill her, WTH do they think happened?
Anyhow, I'm not familiar enough with how this kind of stuff works but I've often wondered when big verdicts like this come out: what's to stop her from standing up when they read the not-guilty verdict and yelling, "Ha ha ha, I did it."?
This is really upsetting. I saw a post somewhere saying her life will still be hell because so many people will still think she's guilty and my first thought was that her life will be actually still be hell because she either killed or had something to do with the death of her child.
So sad
That poor little girl.
The part I find really hard to understand is the not guilty on child abuse. I can't imagine a child being gone for 31 days and the primarly parent not found of neglect.
My only thought is maybe the state is going to prosecute as a civil trial for neglect and abuse counts. This is really sad.
