    This is from wiki;

    In criminal jury trials, the court is permitted (but not required) to instruct jurors that they can find the defendant guilty of the most serious crime charged, or of a lesser included offense of that crime (in English law, this is termed an alternative verdict). In murder cases, however, where a convicted defendant may face capital punishment, the United States Supreme Court has held that the court must instruct the jury that they may find the defendant guilty of a lesser included offense such as voluntary manslaughter.[1] The reasoning for this ruling is that jurors, given the options of convicting a less culpable killer or letting him go free, might opt to convict of a more serious crime than the facts warrant. Therefore, they must have at least one option that falls in between these extremes.
    Yeah I found some better websites that explained her case better. So, I wonder if by charging Jodi with 1st degree murder (premeditated) and first degree murder (felony murder), they hope to circumvent any lesser charges? So at least they have the death penalty or life in prison to choose from.
    Lurker checking in.

    But that's what happened with Casey- it was pretty much all or nothing. They couldn't prove premeditated murder, so she got off.

    Well, the thing about that is that if the jury can't unanimously agree on one of those she'll walk. I don't think she'll walk, but there is a possibility. Who would have ever thought Casey Anthony would have walked.

    But, there's always the chance the judge could instruct the jury to consider a lesser than first degree murder. That decision is made at some point during the trial.

    I love how you know nothing about this case, Ron- except for Jodi's unwavering innocence.

    Of first degree murder? Apparently so.

    Of being a lousy parent... Not so much. To bad they didn't charge her with a crime they could prove.

    To be honest, I never thought she was guilty of first degree murder. And I really didn't think she was a lousy parent, either. By all accounts she was a very loving mother. At least it appeared that way in the home videos and pictures. I know Casey was a self-serving narcissist, but really I blame the parents for enabling her and all of her bad behavior. They were clearly one big dysfunctional family, and that's probably and understatement. I think whatever happened to Caylee, it was an accident and Casey was there and/or participated in/witnessed it got scared and covered it up. Too bad the prosecution didn't have their shit together enough to prove that.

    I'm ready for this to go to trial and see what new evidence they have to present, if any. I just read that it should start on 1/2/13, but I'm not holding my breath that Jodi won't get it delayed again...

    The gunshot wound to his forehead was super small. Almost looked like it was caused by a BB gun. I'm not sure if the mark on the back of his head was an exit wound or if it was a knife wound...



    I always thought that exit wounds were large, but I might just be thinking movies (?).... and definitely not sure that a .22 would go all the way through his skull.

    I see that one of Jodi's detectives has been active recently.

    Depends on the size of the bullet. Bigger bullet usually means bigger exit wound. Entrance wounds are usually pretty small. Or if you get particular bullets... For example hollow-point bullets will do significantly more damage.

    A 22 at point blank range could easily go through, I would imagine. From across a room, not so much.
