Never will forget it no matter how badly I want to.

Yeah, I've had the misfortune of coming upon rotting corpses in Nam as well as in Norfolk, Va...I am well aware of the lingering yuck...but in a trial, evidence must be factual, not "smelled like" or "was consistent with", that was my point. There were lingering questions about the car...why didn't George notify the authorities and how did he know the car ran out of gas and that was the reason it was abandoned (the state presented no evidence that he was told the car was out of gas yet he went to the impound lot with gas cans), perhaps he just assumed this or was even told yet the state presented no explanation despite the defense questioning this midway through the trial. The state relied too much on Ms Anthony's behavior and lacked solid evidence. A circumstantial case can be powerful if solid, this case was far from it.
