* Very true. They're in a difficult position. It's speculation... coming up with a plausible story. They wrestled with it and followed instructions. It is about as much as can be hoped for in a jury system. Part of what's considered reasonable to a jury is not just Reason (Logic) but also Reason (common man). The tapes showing him behaving as if it was an average day when his friend had just been murdered that day was strange behavior, not common. It could be something entirely different. They could be wrong. They found a few other things that pointed that he committed the crime. All speculation. Educated guesses. Still, I am impressed with the thoroughness they took, considering what they were up against. Not easy at all. Indeed! Interesting to me is how they often say, "the person showed no emotion". But the thing is: they are instructed to _not_ show any emotion by their lawyers. They are acting calm and cool and collected to minimize jury reading their emotions and yet, that often acts against them. I don't like whole "emotion reading" trick anyway. Few people are good at it and not everybody's face is readable. We _believe_ we can read other people's inner intentions but really, we can't. We can only act upon stereotypes of facial patterns that are _supposed to_ be significant. But are they? For everybody? No. I think people misread body language far more often than they read it correctly, and yet, we continue doing it.

Wasn't following the case. [my mother filled me in] - I happened to sit down and watch the jury thing with her and she told me all what happened, so it's "new news" to me.
