'She is a good mother... we were right' Juror defends shock acquittal of Casey Anthony
Daily Mail ^ | July 6, 2011 | John Stevens

Posted on 07/06/2011 1:58:31 PM PDT by Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears

An alternate juror in the Casey Anthony trials has said that he believes that Anthony was a good mother and that two-year-old Caylee’s death was just a horrific accident.

The sensational acquittal of Casey Anthony sparked outrage across the U.S. as angry spectators compared the trial’s outcome to the infamous verdict in the OJ Simpson case.

But Russell Huekler, one of five alternate jurors who were present for all the testimony and were sequestered with the 12 other jurors, said he would have given the same verdict and is stunned by the public anger.

She was the last one to be seen with Caylee.

She is the only person with access to everything at the crime scene including the shirt Caylee wore the day of her death which Cindy never saw before even though Cindy always did the laundry.

She had the motive/motives to get rid of Caylee. “Bella Vita” the good life tatoo explains a lot. Furthermore, she never wanted to be pregnant per her friend and Cindy would not let her friend adopt Caylee.

None of her many stories proved out as to what happened to her daughter.

1. She dropped the baby off with the nanny. (Whoopsy! Zanny is not a real person.)

2. The nanny held her arms down and said she is a bad mommy and took the child. (Nope!)

3. The child drowned in the pool accidentally, the father George found the body and said “Look what you have done! You are a bad mommy!” (notice a theme here?) “Oh help me dad!” “Ok. I will put the child in the garbage bag and can you bring me the duct tape to tape her mouth too? Why dad? Duh..I don’t know. Oh...by the way, don’t say she drowned if anyone asks. Just tell them Zanny kidnapped her and I will back you. I also will duct tape the Caylee posters all over town using the same incriminating tape I used to bag Caylee. What a plan! Duh....

That is the best summation I have seen for this case.

How can she be a good mother? Her child is dead. She is the last person to be seen with Casey.

Exactly.

Somewhere in the zeal to make sure “The Guilty Are Not Denied Their Sacred And Time-Honored Right To Go Free”®, we have lost our collective minds.

“She had no job...”

What? Since when did this become a requirement for being a good mother? You sure about that?

Good Mothers and duct tape just seem to go together.(sarc)
Oh, that's bad ... :) Didn't Mother Teresa say something like that, that with the continuance of abortion, what will stop me from killing you and you from killing me?

And I read somewhere that some folks think the grandfather could have killed Caylee. What do you think about that?

The jury had the option to find her guilty of a lesser charge of manslaughter, which would have not carried the death penalty.

They acquitted on that one, too.

Kind of like impeaching the POTUS isn’t it?

"...said he would have given the same verdict and is stunned by the public anger."

Maybe they should end sequestering of juries, so that they can not only listen to the actual testimony given in court, but can then listen to hours upon hours of pundits on cable television programs arguing over what that testimony really means.

Then we wouldn't have stunned jurists.

Having no job and lying about it for two years, including to police in an investigation, in addition to everything else, is not a good mother in my book.

Do you think Casey was a good mother?

The state claims the Duct Tape suffocated her. That means no air in or out. Do you have the ability to comprehend? My god. If she was being suffocated by the tape how could chloroform get in to her lungs? You have got to have the ability to see that. You must. It is a very simple concept. The chloroform could not possibly be after the Duct Tape if the Duct Tape is the murder weapon as claimed.. Please explain where I am wrong. Maybe I don’t get it.

Can someone tell me who the father of this poor dead child is? There’s hardly a mention of it.

Around 10 years ago, I had around 2 months with basically nothing to do. For some reason, I found myself watching Court TV.

It was a real eye opener.

If I was a guilty person, there is nothing I would like better than an American jury. If I were innocent, I would be scared to death of facing one.

It was truly shocking how bad some of them were. There really are a lot of dumb people in the world.

Okay, strike the “no job” reference. Although, I think, in Casey’s case, with her proclivity for living off of mommy and daddy’s money and not taking personal responsibility for providing for Caylee, it is relevant. But let’s give you that one.

No, my question...do YOU think Casey was a good mother?

Or..George drowned the child in the pool while Casey slept in order to shut her up as to his abuse? Any scenario can fit here.

The results are the same but a “Not Guilty” verdict is the jury affirming that guilt wasn’t proven. The not guilty verdict actually is preferable in this case because she can be tried if again if new evidence surfaces.

An aquittal is similar to a not guilty verdict but is a verdict rendered by a judge and retrial can’t happen again no matter what evidence surfaces in the future.
