    A child disappeared mysteriously and a suspect was questioned but answered with lies, though they had a clear motive and opportunity. Circumstantial evidence was strong against the suspect but the jury ultimately voted to acquit without direct proof of wrongdoing. While the public derided the decision, the jury system requires freedom without direct proof, even for those presumed guilty, as others were not privy to all evidence heard by the jury.

    Original Description:

    The decision was met with derisive laughter.

    The Jury Says Not Guilty

    By Elton Camp The little child had mysteriously disappeared An obvious suspect then immediately appeared When an investigator, to get information tries Most of his questions are answered with lies That the suspect had a motive was very clear And when the crime was committed was near Although nobody actually witnessed the wrong Circumstantial evidence was especially strong Then when the jury ultimately voted to acquit The public in general began to have a big fit At the decision, derisive laughter broke out That it was wrong, few had the slightest doubt But that isnt the way the American justice works Without proof it must free even those it thinks jerks So at the jury the rest of us have no right to sneer For we werent there the complete testimony to hear

    The verdict was met with disbelieving laughter
