Last week, the Casey Anthony verdict left many people in a state of shock as she was found not guilty. We at MRCTV went out and asked people what they thought about this verdict. Here is what they had to say.

The woman, known only as juror number 12 left her job and went into hiding fearing co-workers would 'want her head on a platter'. Her husband said before leaving she told him: 'I’d rather go to jail than sit on a jury like this again.' He told NBC News he was worried for her health and had his bags packed ready to leave if his 60-year-old wife's name gets released. The woman, who moved to Florida from Michigan fled the area, retiring from her job working at Publix Grocery over the phone because she didn't feel safe.

What is the fascination with Casey Anthony? One 96-year-old grandmother in Alabama was so fixated; she knew the names of Casey’s entire family, the defense team, the witnesses and prosecutors. The Nielsen ratings demonstrated clearly that millions of Americans spent hour upon hour of their own precious lives watching this tragic scenario unfold. But why? Some say it’s because Caylee Anthony was a pretty little girl…her mom somewhat pretty…and white. A less attractive mother or child or a minority would not get the same attention, they argue. Maybe so. It probably did contribute to media coverage. Visual appeal is an...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CBSMiami.com) – The outrage over the not guilty verdict in the Casey Anthony trial has reached the Florida Legislature. Wednesday, Representative Bill Hager, R-Boca Raton, introduced what is being called, “Caylee’s Law,” according to the Orlando Sentinel. The law would make it a felony for a parent or legal guardian to fail to timely report a missing child in cases where the parent knew or should have known that the child was possibly in danger, the Sentinel reported. Rep. Hager said that the law will “ensure that parents are held responsible for their actions.” He continued, “It will...

From the Medical Examiner’s Report on Caylee Anthony: _________________________________________________________ Conclusion/Opinion: As often is the case with a skeletonized individual, the exact cause of death cannot be determined with certainty. The manner of death is an opinion based on available information, including circumstances surrounding the death, information from the scene, and examination of the skeletal remains. The circumstances of death are that this toddler child, with no known medical history, was not reported missing to authorities for approximately 30 days. This child’s remains were eventually found in a wooded, overgrown area, discarded with two trash bags and a laundry bag. Although...

Slime - The substance that Little Caylee Anthony's body decomposed into as it dissolved within the triple reinforced trash bags which came out of Casey Anthony's, car in Orlando, Florida, where the local population may be overly influenced by the headquarters of the Fantasyland that emanates from Disney World. Sort of reminiscent of another incredible trial - that of OJ Simpson over 15 years ago relatively close to another Fantasyland (and even closer to La La Land, Los Angeles). The jury was actually shipped in from the very liberal St. Petersburg area - close enough. What if we saw...

When the Casey Anthony verdict was announced I expected celebration from her defense team. I was more taken aback by the celebratory tone taken by pundits like Geraldo Rivera and Judge Andrew Napolitano. Their position is the same one that many liberals, anti-death penalty activists and libertarians are promoting now: this proves the system works. But it doesn’t. The American justice system is the greatest legal system in the world but like any other it is fallible. In the interest of liberty we err on the side of caution in criminal cases, but that means that in many cases we...

'This case [is] about seeking justice for Caylee . . ." So argued the prosecutor in the Casey Anthony murder case. He was wrong, and the jury understood that. A criminal trial is never about seeking justice for the victim. If it were, there could be only one verdict: guilty. That's because only one person is on trial in a criminal case, and if that one person is acquitted, then by definition there can be no justice for the victim in that trial. A criminal trial is neither a whodunit nor a multiple choice test. It is not even a...

(Reuters) - A Florida judge on Thursday sentenced Casey Anthony to four years in jail for lying to police after her daughter disappeared, but she will be released from custody on July 17 after getting credit for time served and good behavior. Anthony, 25, will be let out of jail four days later than was previously announced after her release date was recalculated, court spokeswoman Karen Levey said. Court officials had earlier said Anthony would be released from jail on July 13, having received credit for the 1,043 days she spent behind bars since her arrest. Anthony was acquitted on...

T he above was taken from the 7/7/2011 Reuters article "Nanny" Defamation Case Resumes Against Casey Anthony" Link below. In that Reuters article, Anthony has said in court filings that the nanny she identified was a different Zenaida Gonzalez with a different car and fewer children than the plaintiff. So, she is saying that a real human with that name exists? Secondly... If Zenaida Gonzalez filled out a card at Sawgrass Apartments and if that was the place that Anthony told the police back then she last saw Caylee, what will Anthony say now? 1.) Same apartment, different Zenaida Gonzalez,...

Do you agree with the judge's sentence for Casey Anthony? I'm not sure. The jury said she's not guilty, but she did lie. Yes. She was found not guilty and has served enough time awaiting and during the trial. No. Her lying during the police investigation cannot go unpunished. Other (post a comment).

Four states are drafting legislation in the wake of the Casey Anthony trial which will force parents to report missing children in the first 24 hours. Lawmakers in Florida, New York, Oklahoma and West Virginia have announced they will propose versions of the legislation, which comes in the wake of nationwide fury following the acquittal of young mother Anthony on charges that she murdered her two-year-old daughter Caylee. The prosecution case in the Anthony trial was largely hampered by the fact that Caylee's body was found so late. The child was reported missing a full month after her family last...

A tall tree in the same area where Caylee Marie Anthony's remains were found was struck by lightning this afternoon — just hours after her mother learned she would be released from jail next week. "It could be a sign from the angels that they aren't happy with what's happened," said 40-year-old Keyla Lugo of Orlando, who has visited the memorial in the Chickasaw Oaks subdivision twice in the last week. "It's a sad day for Orlando, for Caylee and for justice. The rain, the lightning, the storm – it's the heavens indicating they aren't happy." The vacant lot on...

Now that Casey Anthony has been found not guilty of murdering her daughter Caylee, she faces a civil lawsuit from a woman who says Anthony falsely accused her of kidnapping the girl...

The Casey Anthony jury reached the correct verdict. The question put to the jury wasn't did Casey Anthony kill her daughter Caylee Anthony, but did she deliberately carry out a plan to murder Caylee by suffocating her with duct tape. The jury didn't buy the prosecutor's claim of premeditated murder and its easy to understand why they might have rejected it. When I first heard of what the prosecution was attempting to do I thought they had a difficult, if not impossible, task before them. I could believe that Casey got frustrated because she couldn't get her daughter to shut...

Exclusive to The Briefing Room

The move of the Casey Anthony murder trial from the legal confines of a Florida court to the unrestrictive court of public opinion is a good opportunity to examine the way many media colleagues cashed in on the tragic death of a two-year-old girl. I confess to an addiction to news and information. As with all junkies, I run the risk of falling in with enablers and dealers who are more than willing to feed my jones, even to the point of overdose. The media pushers have a sick tool to measure precisely which stories hook the average news junkie...

Today is the day she may walk free. Prepare yourselves. Call me Pollyanna, but the Judge did give FingerBoy 6 days. Hopefully he has scoured the law so she can cool her heels a little longer.
