I thought the prosecution made a strong case but because I can't erase the details known that weren't presented in the trial from my memory I can't view the evidence as it was presented objectively. That said, even in my own limited experience dealing with the DA's office I saw them drop the ball and break some pretty basic unspoken rules.
It fucking blows but it is what it is. Most likely she will never live the "Bella Vita", even now her 15 minutes of infamy are fading, people are moving on. I'm just crossing my fingers Baez holds out too long and the deals drop back down to the 5 figure range.

The system is right as it is now and I don't have a problem with that
I guess my point was if she had to prove her innocence she would have had a much harder time coming up with evidence to support her claim than the prosecutors had to prover her guilty if that makes any sense.
She couldn't just create several scenarios of what might of happened to create doubt in the jury's eyes she would have had to come up with actual, factual evidence to prover her case and it would be very interesting to see how she would do that.
