The prosecutors went for the home run in this case, had they not tried to be hero's and charged her with manslaughter or even 2nd degree murder they probably would have had a conviction. Sadly they forgot it's hard to hit a home run with a nurf ball.
I'm very sad for the little girl and her family but I'm actually glad she got off, cases like this keeps the justice system honest and fair.

She was charged with manslaughter (in addition to the murder, child abuse and lying to police charges), there simply wasn't strong evidence. This was a case built on emotion and circumstance, and I agree that I'm glad that isn't sufficient to convict.
