this jury didn't take 4 and a half hours to reach a verdict. it took them nearly 40 hours of deliberation last I'd heard. they started off split, and they came to a conclusion. this isn't a case of civil law where preponderence of the evidence comes into play. it's criminal court where the "beyond a reasonable doubt" tenet comes into play. do i think he did it? maybe this time, and definitely in the past. do i think there's a good chance the mother was simply trying to make a big enough deal of her bad parenting to get MJ to settle out of court? absolutely a reasonable thought, therefore throwing doubt on the prosecution.
