It is not personal opinion. The evidence proved that she was guilty. The jurors voting were voting on opinion as well, not fact. No justice was served.

They can only now go after her on involuntary manslaughter or whatever the other charge is (unlawful death?).
They can not charge her or anyone else in this case.
To do so would be double jeopardy

no it was a day of injustice!! A little girl was killed at the hands of this monster. I hope stick a detective on her 24-7 and constantly tail her and charge her for every little thing and send her away for life. This was not justice

She had possession of all the evidence, mainly.
!. She had possession of the child. This is the MAIN evidence. She HAD the child when last seen.
2. She had possession of the car, where the body had been long enough to decompose. She later abandoned the car next to a dumpster, to make the odors "blend lin". She called her BF to come pick her up, so we know it was she who abandoned the car.
3. She had possession of the blanket the child was wrapped in, it came off child's bed, or out of the child's bedroom.
4. She borrowed a shovel from the neighbor, reportedly considering burying the body in her parents back yard.
Cadaver dogs sniffed out scents of decompostion in the area where she placed the body, as she changed her mind. Probably realized this was a bad idea, and decided to take the body elsewhere.
5. As far as accidental injury, there is NEVER any reason to place duct tape on a child's face. Not a one.
Then the other things I'm sure you already know about. Chloroform in the car. Google search on how to make chloroform. Google search on "neck breaking".
The multitude of lies covering her whereabouts for a month.
The "bella-indifference" upon learning the child was deceased.
As for doing all this to cover up an accidental injury? Nobody is that stupid.

How much chloroform was there? Chloroform does not spontaneously form, it is placed there.

Didn't she have to be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt? So if there was any doubt, she would receive the verdict she did.
I didn't follow the case at all. SOMEONE killed the little girl. I know if my kid came up missing for even 10 minutes I would be freaking out. 30 some odd days and shes partying? I dunno.. the whole family is screwed up and I'm sure the mom and dad knew full well what happened. Frankly I think they are all guilty. But now she will walk free (after her time on the other 4 charges).
They can only now go after her on involuntary manslaughter or whatever the other charge is (unlawful death?).
I think the prosecution really screwed the pooch on this one. And I think the defense threw every single thing they could at the jury. From the dad molesting her to the brother molesting her.
The saddest part is now she will probably get stinking filthy rich over book deals and movies.
