Re: [pyrnet] Verdict in the Diane Whipple mauling case?

OK, California folks. I need an explanation on this one.

Attorneys interviewed in the media here in TX were absolutely baffled by
the CA jury's verdict in the Whipple mauling case. The problem: How can
you convict someone both of murder and manslaughter in the same
incident? It should be one or the other. The view was there would be no
way the seemingly conflicted verdict against the woman would be upheld
under TX law, but of course, CA may well be different.
