Well said.
Caylee is in heaven. Jesus has her. God will ultimately judge Casey if she is indeed guilty.
She murdered a little girl and got away with it. No reasonable doubt in my mind. It makes me sick.
Yes, Casey is the WHITE O.J..
She and her family LIED their way out of it and EXPLOITED people’s FEELINGS in the worst way.
Poor Caylee. No justice for her.
“She murdered a little girl and got away with it. No reasonable doubt in my mind. It makes me sick.”
Same here.
We closely followed the trial from beginning to end and there is NO DOUBT that Casey did it. Even COMMON SENSE could get you there.
The problem is that, unlike the O.J. case, the damning evidence presented against Anthony proved her to be a despicable person, not a murderer.
American law requires that a guilty verdict be based on evidence that the accused committed the crime. The Anthony prosecution didn’t prove either that the child died from murder or that the mother was involved.
The Simpson prosecution did show credible, tangible evidence that there was a murder and that linked him to it.
As for the Anthony case, it’s not a crime in America to be a sleazeball.
It had to do with...”I want to go home” and nothing else. I wonder what the first vote was....

So which made the media more upset:
Casey Anthony’s acquittal
OR
Hussein’s failure to bring the Olympics to Chicago
Imagine the Republican weeping women in 2012 when a woman is elected president~!
Or as Rush would say - More evidence of the Chickafication of America.
It may have been an “F-U” vote by the jury. I’m open to that possibility.
I believed that quick deliberation was bad for the defense. When they announced a verdict after only 9 hours of deliberation, I thought for sure it would be GUILTY.
I was on a jury recently where a thug was charged with battery and vandalism (over some dollar amount that I do not recall at the moment).
He essentially admitted to the battery. For the vandalism, the prosecutor never established that the damage didn’t happen prior. I kept expecting him to bring in a witness or a dated photo, but he never did it. So, the thug walked on the vandalism.
I thought I would be the odd ball and have to argue the point. We were unanimous on both accounts within 5 minutes.
Afterward, we all chatted and agreed that what we “knew” and what the prosecution proved were two different things.
I have no problem making the prosecution prove their case.
“there was plenty of damning evidence presented”
Really? Where was the baby killed? When was she killed? What was the manner of death? Why did the prosecution not call may of its own witnesses?
For the record, I think she was guilty, too.
I think the vote told a lot about these people...”No responsibility please....leave us alone”. Thanks for the lunch.
It would have helped immensely if the police had followed through with the lineman back in August and looked in the area he told them to look.
Instead, an officer looked for a few minutes, yelled at the lineman for wasting his time, and the remains weren’t found for another four months.
What happened during those four months?
In four months, the state went from potentially having a body to having a skeleton. They went from being able to test tissue to not having tissue to test. They went from a body that was probably in one piece to one that was scattered by animals or people or who knows.
I agree. She probably killed her child. But the state doesn’t get to make those “mistakes”. The state made a lot of mistakes. The body was only one of them
Be mad at the state who made so many missteps that there was no way a jury could do what they were tasked to do.
Tune in to Mark Levin right now. He is laying out the CONSTITUTIONAL rationale for the verdict.
>>Better that a guilty murderer walk free than an innocent person face guilt.<<
I agree 100%. And I won’t go “round and round” about this, but I can’t get past the mountains of damning evidence, the lies, the fictitious nanny, the corpse hair in Casey’s car, etc.
There is NO reasonable doubt in my mind that a murderer walked.
Shame on the jury. IMHO.
I have to admit from what I have heard the case was not proven, either.
That doesn’t mean it’s not possible she did it. I may even “feel” like she did. But if you can’t prove it, you can’t be putting people in prison for life. We can’t imprison people based on our hunches and feelings.
God knows what happened to that child. He will ultimately make it right.
If she’s capable of killing her own child, her parents might want to think twice before letting her back into their home. How do they know she wouldn’t slash them while they sleep.
I believe it requires only one dissenting vote for a not guilty verdict.
>>Yeah, not reporting your missing two-year-old for a month while you lie to the police about her, and party, until she is found dead, buried and wrapped in duct tape, doesn’t come near the minimum requirements for negligence, let alone, at the very least, negligent manslaughter.
Oh and by the way - don’t make the mistake of leaving your child in your car while you go into a store. Even if you remember them and run back out in 60 seconds, you’ll be charged with negligence and have them taken away from you, and if they die from heat, you’ll be convicted of negligent manslaughter.
Now what were we talking about? Oh yes, the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. <<
Well said, and worth repeating.
