The resident curmudgeon at my local rag felt it necessary to sound off on the Casey Anthony case in this morning’s fishwrapper.

In the last paragraph of her column, she quotes a local lawyer as saying:

“I don’t mean to be disrespectful to my jury, but the problem I have is that juries seem to think too much,” Reed said. “They require the commonwealth to eliminate all possible doubt … Jurors expect DNA and a smoking gun.

“But you go outside and the grass is wet. That’s pretty good circumstantial evidence that it rained.”

Unless it were the dew or the underground sprinkler system.

And that is “reasonable doubt.”
