I am shocked and saddened by this...and my heart breaks for that poor little girl. I think that at the very least it should have been a hung jury. If the evidence didn't support a conviction of first degree murder...then at the very least the jury should have asked themselves what kind of mother has a child die in an ACCIDENT and then allows the body to rot in the woods for months where its been dumped like trash while lying to the police? Ok...so its unclear whether she murdered her child or not (according to the evidence), but she KNEW the child was dead! She knew where the body was! And said NOTHING!! How can you reasonably let this woman walk??
My heart weeps...rest in peace little one.
