The prosecution did not prove, beyond reasonable doubt, the elements of First Degree Murder as listed in the Florida Statutes.

I don't know if the prosecution got cocky and thought it was a slam dunk.

The prosecutor's case consisted of "we don't know when Caylee died; we don't know where Caylee died; we don't know how Caylee died; but somehow we do know that Casey, with premeditation, murdered her"

The prosecution had a weak case and it appeared that they were counting more on the emotional appeal than on evidence, which was lacking.

That being written, there is a huge difference between not-guilty and innocent.

That's why juries don't render a verdict of innocent.
