Airwaves...if I may...let me point out a flaw in your thinking. I assume, first of all, that your point is that only the jurors would have all the evidence.
However, one must also remember that the jurors are also subjected to the defense attorney's "spin" on that evidence. And, such spin doctoring, can indeed lead to a jury being convinced to ignore common sense.
Although it may be a bit of a stretch, I'm sure you recall the OJ trial. The defense lawyers came thru with flying colors in spining and dismissing evidence.
It is indeed quite possible, given the many undisputed facts in this case (Erica's case) , that jurors put common sense aside, and became convinced of the "reasonable doubt" that the defense fabricated. A non-juror was not subjected to such nonsense.
