@KittenBowl1 There was a massive amount of evidence, far more than was needed to convict her. Those two jurors decided to take a totally one-sided view - as if they were Mary Katherine Higdon's defense attorneys. For example, saying that the county had enough money to have a working recording system. Okay, and? Therefore she should go free? Because the recording system malfunctioned, that's a sign that evidence was manufactured? She changed her story constantly. The physical evidence showed that the victim was clearly not moving when he was shot. Two cops heard her admit to shooting him in anger. Etc, etc. Those two clowns totally outsmarted themselves. It is dangerous business to think one is brilliant when in reality they are not even close. Unfortunately, the rest of the jury was either equally slow or else easily cowed. I rather wish at least person on that jury had pushed back with appropriate force against the foolish argument made by those two sad sacks. Instead an abuser/killer walks free.

Jurors in the first case are really irritating. That's what happens when think they're sooo smart but have a double digit IQ.

Third Case - Note to young couples: Do NOT regularly double date with another young couple. It happens waaay too often that Husband #1 and Wife #2 fall for each other, and an utter mess results.

@finleys_mama5891 It seems that the one way that the defense ran circles around the prosecution was in jury selection. I'm middle-aged. I remember the days before DNA, when juries routinely voted Guilty even when the evidence, at least with the benefit of hindsight we have now, seemed rather shaky. Today, with both DNA and the proliferation of true crime shows and social media, juries are more likely to make the opposite error, acquitting when they should convict. I guess that's progress in its own way. Furthermore, I believe moments like this are truly rare. The good news is that Mary Katherine Higdon is hardly a threat to the average person on the street. The only potential future victim would be someone foolish enough to date her.
