from a legal standpoint, the case never had a chance. just a bunch of circumstantial evidence, nothing concrete. while we can put that evidence together and say that in all likelyhood, she probably did it, "probably" doesn't count in the legal system. it is the burden of the prosecution to prove "without a reasonable doubt" that she was guilty. there is no middle ground in law; either you did it or you didn't do it. based on what i've read while the case was going on, the prosecution's case just wasn't good enough. simple as that.
