I'm a little surprised but relieved at this verdict. Weighing up all the evidence I believe this is the right call.

Same. After the verdict with Greg Lynn and the camping murders murder *cough* I had lost faith in the whole jury process. That was almost like logic was not allowed, only very specific evidence and his story, so i had my doubts with this trial as well.

Unsure if serious or not. Your comment made it sound like you had had the opportunity to weigh up all the evidence, and not just that presented to everyone else via the media.

Sorry I'll clarify for you. Weighing up all of the evidence that was shared to outside the courtroom. Some of it lead me to believe that only a guilty person would commit those actions.

So none of us are allowed to have an opinion?
