I am glad I was not on that jury. I don't know what I would have decided, as from what I have read and seen, which is minimal, it would have been VERY difficult for me to make a decision based on law and not on emotion. And I say that because I was exposed to the media's interpretation of the case, not the facts that were presented in court. I've been a registered voter for 20 years and have never been called for jury duty, and when I think about it, I am somewhat glad I haven't been in fear I would get put on a case such as this.
I am not familiar with Florida law; however, I am surprised there wasn't an endangering the welfare of a minor charge in there.
I fully expect her to walk on Thursday with time served.
