kjorg, I too was surprised (but pleased) at the conviction.  I don't feel there was much hard evidence, mostly circumstantial.  In my heart, I do believe that he is guilty, but looking at it from a legal standpoint, there's not much there to grab onto.  I was shocked at the death penalty sentence for the same reason.  There really is no "smoking gun" in this case.  Under these circumstances, I know I couldn't have voted for the death penalty.
