Yeah, but don't the parents almost always say "my kid would never do that"? When they heard the verdict they left right away. I find that weird
I want to hear what the jury will say.
Every convicted murderer had parents at some point. Of the ones who were alive and asked, how many of those parents do you think also said "my kid would never"? It doesn't mean anything. It's just the parent stating something they think is probably true, or something they think could buy their kid some time if they really think the kid might have actually done it, or whatever. There are a million reasons to say "my kid would never do that," and "because I actually believe that to be true" is only one of them.
As for them walking out on hearing the verdict? Yeah, if my daughter knew I'd decided she killed a child and buried the remains in the woods, and she was found not guilty and thus not going to jail, I'd be high-tailing it out of the courtroom too, at the very least because I wouldn't know WHAT the hell to say to her.
