"WE'RE COMING OUT!!! GUNS BLAZING!!!!...Acquittal after acquittal after acquittal..until the stench of it reaches so high and far into Heaven it chokes the whole f-ing lot of them!"
You're correct, the juries are Liberals, and the rest of us know better.
We need to abandon Jury Trials, and instead let "everyone" determine guilt or innocence.
If only Casey had been subjected to an Internet poll to determine her guilt, she would be hanging today or at least rotting in prison for the rest of her life.
No doubt she’ll get section 8 housing for awhile.
I, for one, will not donate a cdent to any if tge riches she mightbring in. She is diabolic!
I think she will need to get pregnant again in order to get section 8.
I have to disagree, you say it's a flaw because in this case the outcome was one which you do not agree with.
That doesn't constitute a flaw it's, and I don't mean to be flippant, just the way the ball bounces sometimes.
Over the long run, the system works and the best one there is.
IMO, because it doesn't go your way or the way of poplar opinion, you don't react by making the system draconian just to fit your desires...after all, isn't that tyranny?
Believe me, I understand the emotion attached to this case and I want the person who is ultimately responsible to be held to account, but we can't start changing the system just because the person who many think is responsible couldn't have the case proved against her.
I had not heard that. Tim is a damn saint. As are Bob and Gay Smithers with the Laura Recovery Center that is based in Texas.
Very interesting. Thanks!
Can someone please explain to me all the hatred for her entire family? There are so many people saying bad things about all of them as if they are all guilty of abusing and killing Caylee.
My opinion of Cindy and George Anthony is that they are guilty of loving their children and grandchild, perhaps to the point of spoiling them. Both Lee and Casey are handsome people, so I can imagine their parents were a bit indulgent, as were many baby boomer parents. But, that does not make them bad people. I have not actually heard anything bad about Lee other than the charge that he groped his sister when he was younger - used as an excuse for Casey’s pathological lying.
I have utmost sympathy for George, Cindy, and Lee. They will never be able to recover from Casey’s behavior, her narcissism, her selfishness with her killing of Caylee, etc. It seems clear to me that the family reluctantly came to believe that Caylee was indeed killed by her mother, a fact that must have torn them into pieces emotionally. I hope they get some spiritual couseling.
I hope people lay off describing the entire family as dysfunctional, when Casey is clearly a “bad seed”. May God have mercy upon them and send them some comfort.
This is just my two cents worth. Am I alone?
after Sarah Palin, that is.
I really hope you just forgot the sarcasm tag. If not, that's the dumbest idea, ever.
Having watched most of the trial after following the story for three years, I largely agree with you! Cindy lied in testimony to save her daughter from the death penalty! George and Lee were conflicted all along...suspecting Casey of the worst but struggling to keep up appearances. But it is hard to continue support for someone who will turn on anyone to save her own skin...George and lee the molesters and Cindy who left the ladder up. Kronk who stole the body etc, etc. And of course all those uninterested witnesses and dogs who lied!! Cindy, George and Lee are victims...and they get to watch Casey profit from her own daughter’s murder!!
Evidently her lawyers were working for free in at least some capacity. Taxpayer money only covered peripheral expenses. But this article is over a year old. I wonder how it's all gonna turn out.
“I have been called to jury duty about 8 times but have never served. I am an electrical engineer and a lawyer told me that is the reason I never get picked.”...........
How true! I’ve been told that no one who has any medical background is usually excluded from juries, as well as anyone who has a connection with an insurance company, even if it is only an in-law! People who are in professions that require knowledge, common sense, and logic are not good on juries from the defense’s point-of-view.
FLOL ! I really like the idea !
> I suggest Celebrity Firing Squad.
Yup.
Uncanny, isn’t it?
I just think that our system, though not perfect, is the most balanced one there is. I think when you start considering tweaking it to favor one side or the other is a mistake.
I certainly do not want it to favor the Government any more than it already does...they have all the money.....and yet they still couldn't successfully prosecute this case.
In my view, the prosecution in this case went for charges they could not prove.
I think if you want to reform the system, we should start by getting politics out of it.
Prosecutors are judged and elected on conviction rates and have to justify their budgets, therefore the truth goes out the window when convictions are the goal
When you have mass media coverage, sensationalism and world attention, egos become the focus and not the truth. (the word verdict means to say the truth)
The accused should remain anonymous and no cameras in the court rooms would be a good start.
