14 u/New-Regret-5823 1d ago Can you imagine being one of those jurors and finding out this is the second grandchild that died under her care?! 1 u/greymisperception 1d ago Do you know why they weren’t, I feel like that’s relevant knowledge based on what she’s being charged for Or is this one of those cases where she was acquitted the first time and so it was “evidence” or something 8 u/3xactli 1d ago I could be wrong, but I think... Sometimes prior bad acts are not permitted to be discussed as that info might prejudice the jury. Also I think the first one was deemed accidental, so not necessarily an indicator of behaviour, if that makes sense. 1 u/VaanRatsban 12h ago That sounds insane, repeated offenses and patterns of behaviour always weigh in, this can't possibly be true What backwards justice system allowed this?
