I'm confused.
Did the juror not understand that the 3rd charge available for them to charge her w was "aggravated manslaughter" - death of child due to parent's negligence?
Did they only hear the first degree murder charge and tuned out the instructions on the second and third charges (2nd charge was "aggravated child abuse" - death of a child due to act of child abuse or attempted act of child abuse)?
They seemed to hear the 4th through 7th charges of 4 counts of lying to law enforcement. Do you think from what she said they didn't comprehend the different charges? (I didn't see the interview.)
