Jeff Ashton On Casey Anthony: IGNORE HER

Excerpt:

Other than the shocking version, one of the most puzzling aspects to this case was that the jury did not ask a single question of the judge. Jeff Ashton said this surprised him, as it had never happened before in a case like this.

Comments of counsel not in evidence.

He was concerned about the jury just believing the lies that Jose Baez threw out in various sentences, as he politely said, "comments of counsel not in evidence." These were things Baez was able to get in, even upon objection, and would be planted in the minds of jurors, in spite of no evidence to prove them.

The jury appeared unable (intellectually) or unwilling (morally) to separate truth from lies. But this leads to something else:

Will.

When someone lies, we must grasp that the subject has need to lie. Did the jury understand that Jose Baez had need to lie?
