From the words of Linda Burdick, "Whose life is better?" Sure looks like Casey's is now after this verdict... Sad day for justice.

Now that her defense consisted of ADMITTING that the child died in her presense, then what happened to the body?
Who put the duct tape on?
WHO THREW IT INTO THE SWAMP?
Who knows.
“... any profits from this event... be given to a missing children’s fund”.
I thought today (after hearing the verdict) what future will Casey have? I wouldn’t hire her to walk my dog. I wouldn’t want to live next to her. What honest, good man would want a relationship with her? Then it came to me... a book deal and a possible movie deal. As messed up as this possibility is... she may end up making tons of money for her “story”. IMHO.
The little girl committed suicide of course. First she drowned herself, then put duct tape on her nose and mouth then took herself someplace and buried herself. I’m not a lawyer so I can’t comment on the sequence of events /sarc
what about nanny zannies defamation lawsuit?
Well, you’re close but it’s called the “same elements” test.
And, you are correct. The system could be perverted but why would a Prosecutor do that? My job was to get a conviction. I wasn’t about to charge wildly to help someone avoid prosecution.
This is a bit long, but is a good recitation of Double Jeopardy:

But we always had to be very careful to consider what charges could fairly arise from the same set of operative facts. If we didn’t, we could be screwed.
Scottish law covers that well. The jury can return a verdict of “Not Proven”. If the Crown (in Scotland’s case) can come up with additional evidence the accused can be re-tried.
Maybe. Don’t know if the FL law would permit a civil case by grandparents.
Believe me, I feel your pain and frustration.
Thus my suggestion. No one in that childs family should ever profit from her death.....
Can't stop her from profiting now that she's been found not guilty.

Point a finger at a prosecution that put together a very patchwork and ineffective case. See my previous post - the prosecution opened too many doors for the defense to use. Someone in the prosecutor’s office should be unemployed.
Sure ya can... They did OJ. A extended member of her family can do such giving any profits to an established missing children organization.
And the theft charges and forgery of Amy Huzinga’s checks? Also what was it about Casey stealing up to $45k of funds from the one of the Anthonys as well as $4k from Cindy’s Bank of America account from 2007-2008?
The great majority of criminal cases are plea bargained. Criminal cases with weak evidence are nearly always plea bargained. Did this prosecutor ever offer a plea bargain to the defense?
“Put a fork in it, she has been deemed Innocent and another murderer will be set free to enjoy the freedoms as all others do under our Constitution.”
She was not deemed Innocent. She was found not guilty, due to the State of Florida inability to prove beyond a reasonable doubt on the charge of murder 1. However, in the court of public opinion 90% fully believe she is a murderer, whatever that is worth.
Legally, nothing.
Did they ever find that poor little girl? I lost track of that case but her father and mother were idiots, and the girl friend supposedly watching her was a joke.
I don't think so. I believe the only people to have standing for a wrongful death in Florida are a spouse or child, so the Anthonys would have no standing for the suit.
