Zelon wrote that case records don't show the jury based its verdict on a legally valid theory, so the conviction should be reversed./ppDaley had been convicted of second-degree murder for the 2007 death of Jose Cano./ppProsecutors argued that Daley wanted revenge because Cano allegedly stabbed her son six months earlier.
