If people believed every word of every defense witness in every case we would never get another conviction in this country. OF COURSE the defense witnesses contradict the prosecution's witnesses, that is why the defense searches for them and PAYS THEM TO DO SO
The credibility of the witnesses is determined BY THE JURY. That is their job. There should have been a jury charge regarding that issue.
The only people who get paid to testify are experts.

It's really not up to the defense to get people to believe their case.
It's up to the prosecution to not mangle the case and try to play "connect the dots" with stuff that really didn't "connect the dots".
Thank you. People just assume it's all black and white, and it isn't. What the jury believes happened cann;t be considered in the verdict. It's all about if the evidence backs up the charges. It didn't. I admire their courage.
Thank goodness for sequestered juries! I think this verdict demonstrated that the system worked well.

Reason: spelling
Do you think Caylee cares at this point? She's dead. I think many people are using this little girl's name to justify their anger.
Wow...just wow!
If we were to follow your line of reasoning, why bother to bring justice to any murder victim since they're dead anyway.
I cannot even begin to understand your second statement... "people are using this little girl's name to justify their anger".
What??? The" little girl" was found dead and decomposed and it might have been at the hands of her mother who is now free as a bird. Whose name should the public be using to vent their anger...Dora The Explorer???
