"I'm going to do whatever it takes to fight for this guy. ... I felt like I was selected on that jury and it was a call to seek justice." Darrel Priddle, Juror
"Judicial discretion is abused when a trial court's ruling is clearly against the logic of the circumstances ... and is so arbitrary and unreasonable as to shock the sense of justice." Missouri Court of Appeals - Western District on the reason for a re-trial
"He is not guilty, for sure. There is not one bit of evidence the state brought us to prove his guilt." Jill Miller, Juror
"It was so outrageous, there are no words to describe it. ... After the verdict, (several jurors) went out together, and said, 'We want to do anything we can to help them out. We just can't let it end like this — we have to do something to help them.'" Jill Miller, Juror
"There was no physical evidence, no witnesses, and (the daughter) changed her story so many times," says juror Sarah Mehl
"She told friends about vaginal intercourse, but a hospital exam at a children's hospital showed her hymen was still intact" Sean O'Brien, Defense Attorney
" I believe that Ted White did nothing wrong and was falsely accused. There was no evidence in the case that proved he did anything to harm or physically abuse his stepdaughter. The only thing it did prove is, he was a loving and devoted father and husband who would do anything to make his family happy. If it were not for a one very hateful juror with some kind of motive, Ted White would have been found not guilty on all counts and would be free today." Milanez Harrison, Juror
