It was hard to get past the brutality of what happened.

We slavishly followed what the Supreme Court said we needed to do.

My worst fears from jury selection manifested themselves in the verdict. This jury needed someone to tell them exactly how Caylee died. Piecing it together from circumstantial evidence was not good enough for them. They wanted the answers on a silver platter, but we didn’t have the evidence to serve it that way. It’s not just the verdict that tells me this, but also the manner in which it was reached. The fact that they didn’t request any materials to review. The fact that they didn’t have any questions for the judge. If the statements that the foreman of the jury made to the media are true, ten of these twelve jurors felt that ninety minutes of deliberation was sufficient to fully weigh, consider, and reject four weeks’ worth of testimony that we on the prosecution used to establish that this was first-degree murder. The rest of the thirteen hours of deliberation had been spent trying to convince the two holdout jurors of the decision.

As long as you're persistent, justice will win out.

[Marshall] has matured physically. He's been a monster the past couple of weeks. He had 22 rebounds in a game recently, and if he gets the rebounds, then he's entitled to shoot the ball.

I have signed (initiative petitions) in the past, but the last round I didn't even bother. It just seems like every initiative has some baggage or special interest associated with it.
