Casey Anthony Verdict In
- Thread starter ValuJet

What about the duct tape where her mouth and nose had been? Surely she didn't drown in the pool with duct tape over her mouth. <<< (Said in sarcasm) What a bunch of lies that were told. It's too bad that one juror didn't have the guts to hang the d*** jury!!! Then they would have had to try her all over again, and maybe that jury would have had sense enough to convict her. Haven't people been convicted on less circumstantial evidence than what was produced during that trial?
Yes I had the same thought when I read it. Sounds a little strange. Why was a meter reader wandering out there.
They probably have. Don't get me wrong, I strongly suspect that Casey Anthony killed her child. I think the jurors felt that way, too. But do we want to say that suspicion, even a strong one, is enough to convict? One of the long-standing principles we have is that we would prefer to let criminals go free to convicting an innocent person.
I didn't follow the trial closely. (I hate watching trials on TV; they're usually boring as can be. No one knows how tedious a criminal trial can be like a person who has prosecuted or defended in them.) I recall reading over the weekend before the verdict came in that several observers felt that the prosecution was unable to prove whether Caylee was killed or not because of the state of her remains. I have no idea whether there was any better evidence available that didn't get used; I hope not. The commentators expressed their belief that the prosecution had told the jury in the opening statement that they would prove certain things and didn't and that the defense did so as well. I thought from that point that she would (and should) be acquitted. Recall that this isn't saying she didn't do it. It is saying that the prosecution didn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she did it, in large part because they never proved that a murder actually occurred.
We need to be careful not to convict people of crimes because we think they are bad people. I wouldn't want Casey Anthony within 100 miles of anyone I cared about. But showing that she acted in utterly inappropriate ways doesn't prove she killed her daughter (again, especially when it isn't proven that her daughter was killed).
I don't think mad dashes to pass new laws is the answer, although, as usual, we're seeing that. When you remember that our system is set up to avoid the conviction of a possibly innocent person, it worked, as much as the result in this case disgusts us.
The fact they Casey didn't report her child missing for 31 days, that when her remains were found, there was duct tape where her mouth and nose had been, doesn't convince you that she was murdered? Also, that for that 31 days, when her mother called her asking where Caylee was, she told one lie after another - we're in Tampa, we're in Jacksonville, we're here, we're there - and all the time Caylee wasn't with her because she was already dead. That's enough for me to have sent her straight to the electric chair, the gas chamber, or the needle - whatever they use in Florida. Geeeeezzzz What does it take for you? A video of the murder?
P.S. Many have been convicted of murder with lass circumstantial evidence that was produced at Casey's trial. Plus, some have been convicted of murder where the BODY was never found.
The jury were a bunch of wimps - that's all.

As far as seeing Nancy Grace naked, I'll take a look. I'm a man and men want to see women naked. Yes, she is a witch, but just saying.
Casey will get hers, sooner or later. She would have been better off on death row. Being free, is not good for her. She would have lived a lot longer on death row if you ask me. I would bet she will be in jail for something else or dead before 10 years pass, IMO.
I wish people would get as upset with the elected officials, as well as many other issues, as they do with this one criminal case.

This sums it up well.Some people have no common sense,certainly not this jury.
It was stated there were at least six jurors that believed either that she did do it, either by accident or with intent, or assisted in it in some way, but were swayed in the end to vote with other jurors. Two of those same six said they were sick with the verdict they gave but gave it anyway. Six on the other side that just thought the child drowned (although there was zero evidence to support that either) and that the family was dysfuntional and/or guilty, so hey she had a built-in excuse and they just didn't think there was enough there to convict Anthony.
Should have been a hung jury, imho.

That's what I think and I may have already said so. It would only have taken one juror with any sense to have voted for conviction, and that would have hung the jury. Then they would have to do it all over again weeks or months - or whenever - and maybe that jury would have enough sense to convict her.
(Since this thread has been reopened, I'll avail myself of this new opportunity to respond.)
That's an insult to the porn industry.
