Feeling very sad and discouraged

At first, I felt overwhelmingly sad that a beautiful little girl is dead, and no one will have to account for it. I also felt very angry.

But, it has now turned into a deep sadness and sense of discouragment for me. Why? Because a jury and even some posters here didn't see enough evidence of a murder and who did it. Even those who said she probably did it, but it wasn't proven.

I will not say people here or jurors are stupid. Actually, stupid would make me feel better. Now that so many have watched crime dramas, it is expected that all questions will be answered by concrete forensic evidence. Well, they won't in real life. So, maybe I am stupid. I found dead baby with duct tape on her skeletal face (no way to determine how she died), last in custody of mother with no true explanation of what happened, no reporting her missing all added up. But it wasn't for me to say.

From now on, expect juries to want a surveillance tape recording of murders.
