Baez never mentioned anything about justice, only that he saved someone from dying. Then he went on to defend gang bangers....looking to be the “go to” attorney for gang bangers? And very thoughtful of him at the end to give his final words in the Mexican language.

And to answer how I would prove it wasn't me:

first of all I don't lie to the police and wouldnt' have had a MONTH of lying to everyone that my child was safe with someone else

I wouldn't have lied for years about a fake job and I wouldn't have stolen money from friends and family.

There would be no PROOF right off the bat that I was a lying sociopath

I agree the way she handled her daughter’s death was disgusting. And I also believe she likely did kill her. But does her acting so morally irresponsible prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that she killed her daughter instead of suffer a psychotic breakdown or try to hide her daughter’s body for whatever reason? Nope. She was undoubtedly a terrible mother and likely did kill her daughter. Can you prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she did indeed kill her, however? Nope.

When there is only one person on God's green earth that knows and tells investigators WHEN her own flesh and blood went missing and NOBODY else has contact with or saw a virtually helpless child of 2 and 1/2 then I have NO doubt this woman KILLED her. Some people are NOT in need of a Utube video of the act literally being carried out.

This lying sack of excrement confessed herself guilty, when she told her brother that her daughter had been missing for 31 days. And this killer (I do not give a ..... what a bunch of mush minded idiots needed to have placed before them as evidence) got a walk because NOBODY caught her in the act.

Yes, but they can try her on something else, if they can prove it. For instance, if they could prove that Casey sold child porn pictures of Caylee, as suggested by Wendy Murphy on TV on Sat., they could try her on that charge. Casey is being sued by the real Zanny Gonzalez for ruining her life — loss of her job, loss of her apartment. I hope Zanny wins big on that one.

If I were Casey (God save my soul) I’d move as far away from Florida as I could and I would not leave a forwarding address. I’d stay off of Face Book. I’d lead a prim and proper life for the rest of my days.

Of course, we all know that Casey cannot do that.

With our system of entitlements, the public will be supporting this woman for the rest of her life.

Lol. In an ironic twist, Channel 5 here in L.A. interrupted their broadcast of the Jerry Springer Show to go to live coverage of the verdict. Then it was back to Springer. From one circus to another.

ROFL.

Read kcvl's posts! She posted info about some of the jurists. They are truly Jerry Springer Jurists!

>> Well, golly...they should have just contacted the Freepers here who know all<<

From what I’m seeing today I have less and less faith in Freepers. If there was even some doubt in the minds of those jurors it would have taken them much more time to come to a verdict.

>>Rush just pointed out that there were no facts....no DNA, No witnesses.....so no conviction...
<<

I heard that too. As a Rush fan and 24/7 member, I was taken aback by this rare display of ignorance on Rush’s part. No FACTS???? Please.

Rush seemed to be crowing because this was a “victory” over the “media,” but anyone who thinks there was not enough evidence to tie Casey to the murder isn’t paying attention. Lie after lie after lie after lie.

Explain why Caylee was missing for 31 days rotting in the woods, with duct tape on her mouth, while Casey was lying about it, partying, and making up a fictitious nanny.

Also explain the internet searches for neck breaking and chloroform, which the mom lied about to protect her daughter.

Also explain the corpse hair in Casey’s car, and the “cadaver” smell.

Common sense needs to enter the picture at some point. Sometimes I think common sense is truly dead.

Didn’t you watch the trial or listen to the verdicts??
There were seven counts, the first of which was homicide, the third of which was manslaughter.

You are so right. Sociopaths, narcissists, pathological liars are all very uncreative actually because they are predictable to any who understand or have experienced people with those sick traits. And they are "sick" mentally. I am sorry people made fun of you, because you are spot on in saying they are so similar. Casey Anthony, while despicable and nauseating to normal thinking people, is understandable when you realize that her psyche is so screwed by her narcissistic, sociopathic condition. It is like knowing how a rabid animal will act when you see one. You know, when you see an animal with foam at the mouth, running craily...that animal is to be feared and will attack. The signs are all there.

So it is with a sociopath/narcissist/pathological liar...they all act the same, they all have that hollow look in their eyes, they all tell lies upon lies, they all get exceptionally angry when challenged, and they all have absolutely no real love or empathy for other human beings, including their own families. They all think they do not have to follow rules and are above the law or any form of supervision. They live in their own fog and are only focused on doing what they want, no matter who they hurt or who suffers as a result. They have no remorse, ever.

I just got home and I'm stunned! I wonder just who the jury thinks killed that little girl and why Casey felt the need to lie about it for 31 days.

I'm stunned, too. If one of my kids was missing in a grocery store for one minute I'd be freaking out all over the place. I can't imagine not calling the police if I ran through the store and my child was not there. I would react in less than 5 minutes. The last thing I'd do is party until someone else noticed my child was no where to be found!!

There is no evidence of a murder so you can’t convict her for murder. A babysitter would get kidnapping. A mother would not. A mother will have child evidence on her and the child will have mother evidence on her. That’s understandable.

If you go to a jury and say “We think the child might have possibly been murdered”, the defendant walks. You have to have prove there was a murder FIRST.

That’s why the defense went with the accidental drowning defense. It put doubt in the jury’s mind.

I heard Rush tooooo and as far as I am concerned he is an idiot. Rush has become as close as one can possibly get to Elton jon mush as one can without totally becoming green glob. See Rush only has time for the people who are the best at what they do.... WEllllll Casey is even better than old bjClinton in the lying department.

You are wrong - there was as much if not more evidence in this case, including the fact that caylee wasn’t old enough to drive off by herself - she was in her mother’s custody when she died. Lacy Peterson could drive away and could have been thought to have met with foul play

Yes, so in my mind it boils down to "beyond reasonable doubt" in the minds of this particular jury. Other variables aside, quite a crapshoot for a defendant.

Whether we'd like to believe otherwise, we bring a perspective based upon our life experience into a courtroom. Some people are better able to compartmentalize than others. How many people doubt a different jury composition might have yielded a "guilty" verdict in the OJ trial?

Our judicial system would be great if they actually followed protocol. There is too much politics, who knows who, over crowding in prisons allowing for way too many nolle prosquis and stet verdicts. Too many dismissals when the evidence is there. Honestly, I don’t hold much faith in our judicial system at all.

You could insert anything object in place of Caylee, a wallet, a laptop computer, anything, and use the basic story - you handed it to X, when you asked X where it was she said it was somewhere else and she would bring it home soon; then go on with the lies for a month, all the while stealing money from others and partying..... eventually your wallet is found in the mud but it has something from X’s house with it. rush would NOT say there was no evidence that X took his wallet. It is sad to hear him say there was no evidence

And right now, along with his defense team, he is celebrating with champagne! It is almost like dancing on Caylee's grave, IMO!
