Funny (not really) but I thought all the imbeciles were on the Florida jury, not your editorial board ["Unsatisfying verdict to some, but proper," Editorial, July 7]. It may be circumstantial evidence, but there's a preponderance of it. The woman took 31 days -- 31 -- to declare her child missing. She created a fictitious nanny. No one else had a motive.

She's guilty. You know it, I know it, the whole world knows it. Our justice system needs an overhaul. We need sharp jurors who can connect the dots instead of morons who get awed by a slick talker in a fancy suit who so confuses them with double talk that they don't know which way is up when they leave the room.
