Always remember, juries consist of people who are too stupid to figure out how to get out of jury duty.

Please tell us just exactly how she did die then detective.


Please tell us how she was able to breathe with duct tape over her mouth, one over her nose, and then one more over both?

“The one thing I question is there was no DNA on the tape?”

Which means what? NO ONE placed the tape on Caylee’s head? No one with DNA placed the tape? Or the tape placed itself? Wake up—the tape itself is evidence of murder. There’s no other reasonable purpose for it. Who had access to all the pieces (means) of this, yes, OBVIOUS murder? “[S]omeone at this house . . .”! Who had the opportunity to tape the child’s face, bag her, and transport her to what wasn’t her final resting place? “[S]omeone at this house . . .”! Who had the motive to eliminate this child? “[S]omeone at this house . . .”! And that house’s “someone” is easily narrowed to the child’s mother, whose chosen lifestyle was clearly impaired by the continuing existence of undesired “baggage.” The same “someone” who could not be allowed by her defenders to take the stand in her own defense.

The tape may be evidence of murder and then again it may be evidence of manslaughter on the third hand it may be evidence of nothing contributing to death.

Someone placed the tape there but there was no proof Casey did it. There is no proof Casey killed the child. There was no cause of death established and there was no proof she dumped the body.

Hope you never serve on a jury.

I agree with you. I have been called for jury duty several times but I have never been picked for service. I think my occupation of electrical engineer disqualifies me. The alternate juror for this case who is speaking is coming off as a fool. And he teaches a government class in high school.

I guess all those cases that were tried for the last couple of hundred years before DNA was used as evidence should be thrown out?

Besides she was the mother of the victim. Why wouldn’t her DNA be found?

Sad part is we will not know who killed Caylee, or how this person or family played a role in the act or true knowledge of what happened.


No we (people with brains) know who killed Caylee. Casey Anthony also knows who killed Caylee.

What us (people with brains) know is that the American Legal system is seriously flawed. The reason the cause of death is not known is beacause the defendant lied and hid the body for so long that the evidence was destroyed.

“That is the crime she was charged with, murder.”

Correction: Murder is ONE OF the crimes she was charged with. There were two other serious counts the jurors easily could’ve gone with.

There was cause of death submitted by the defense.

“The child drowned in the pool and Casey and her father disposed of the body to make it look like a murder”

The only reason that the rest of the evidence is missing is because it was destroyed by the elements since Casey failed to report the death of the child. She lied to police and her family which gained her precious time for the evidence to be destroyed. In the end she is free because of her lies. The alternate juror who has stated that none of the evidence against Casey was compelling and that he believed the father had something to do with it. If the rest of the jury has this same thought then I would say our legal system is completely broken. In the future all a murderer will have to do is destroy the body and say the person drowned. A defendant can tell complete lies from start to finish and that can be ignored.

That cause of death was only a theory. There was no evidence that she drowned.

There is evidence that child died and that the body was disposed of in a swamp. There is evidence that the skull had duct-tape attached over the mouth and nose. That the mother of the child lied and claimed that the child was kidnapped by a nanny and failed to report the child missing. It has been proved in court that this was a lie among many other lies into the whereabouts of the child.
I really don't need much more evidence only that there was much more. Parents go to jail for leaving there kids in a car unattended in this day and age.
By the way the alternate jury believed in the defenses theory of death.

I think Casey accidentally overdosed Caylee, when trying to keep her asleep so momma could party till sun-up. I think the tape was placed over her face after the fact to make it look like she was kidnapped and suffocated to death. The tape was from her own house — at least that is what I think I remember being reported.

However, as much as I am sure she is responsible, I strongly believe the jurors made the right decision. The prosecution didn’t prove it to me. And I would have had to vote the same way were I on the jury. Our system worked, and I am very satisfied.

I do believe the prosecution should have waited a little longer to bring this to trial. I also believe Casey will be back in jail in the future. She is the same hardened, selfish, lying weirdo she was three years ago. And her family is even more dysfunctional than before. I will bet that Casey and her parents sever ties forever.

“She may be guilty. But it’s up to the State to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Even based on what I saw I was not the least bit surprised by the verdict. Sometimes as a Prosecutor you know you have to prosecute (usually based upon the heinous nature of the crime) but you just don’t have, and can’t get, the evidence that will convict.”

I disagree with you. The Brian Stowe case in L.A. Is in that boat. The “person of interest” they have in custody does not have enough evidence for them to even charge him yet. That’s an example where the state is in a bad place.

But the circumstantial evidence against Casey is like a giant arrow, and nothing points to anyone else.

Anyone who goes after this jury of fine citizens is beyond out of line. I have absolutely no respect for them It is beyond vile and an affront to everything that was ever good about America. Yes that crosse the line for me. Theories and such are OK. But to go after the jury I will not tolerate. People are calling them stupid. I will not tolerate it. It is disgusting. To put it nicely.

Good points. But there are statutes that do permit you to hold someone without charge (i.e. a material witness that may vanish). These are sometimes abused. That is different than being charged with a crime.

And, true. The arrow doesn’t point to anyone else. I couldn’t agree more. You just can’t convict someone because it doesn’t point to anyone else. There is an affirmative burden on the state to prove it is you.

I feel she did it . Agree a major problem was length of time discovering the body. That could have yielded some more important evidence if the first notification was acted on promptly.
