Yeah they didn't present much of anything when it came down to it. One of the more powerful things they had on searching for chloroform and what not on the computer got destroyed when the mother said she was searching those things and not Casey. A lot of the scientific evidence seemed to be poorly presented by the prosecution and their witnesses from what I read (this part of it was very much like the OJ trial).
Because of the evidence I didn't ever really think she was going to be found guilty of first degree murder in a death penalty state. I figured she'd get manslaughter but she beat that as well.
