I think the jury's verdict was because, it is their job as jurists to prove - beyond a reasonable doubt - that the person is guilty of the crime. The prosecutors never even showed or gave any concrete evidence how Caylee died, everything was based on conjecture and supposition.

She WAS found guilty of lying to the authorities on 4 counts, hopefully the sentencing with be strong enough and include some clause that she not make any money from this whole thing, but I don't know if they can do that without a murder conviction.

Also isnt chloroform(SP?) abuse all in its own?
The presence of chloroform was disputed, and no evidence was given that it was used on Caylee. The court of popular opinion and media hype is not the court of law.
