Casey Anthony Trial

[Ace]

if you werent there in court then you cant say what should have been done.
media is a powerful thing that like this brings the worse or misjudging of poeple


as much as th media points out and it is awful to say the least, we dont know the whole story, ovrall th proscution mad a bad cas. not strong enough

the jury isnt allowed to know media information ony the info within the court used as evidence, which apparently sucked

imo death penalty is not needed... but hey overall its a matter of cirumstance

On the "tying her tubes" thing....

Nope, not happening. The right to reproduce is sacred in America.

I'll actually support you in any actions you want to take to make that a viable punishment. It won't happen for this case but maybe it could happen for others.

Not that I particularly agree with that position, but I think that the state deliberately interfering with the reproductive ability of a woman would set a nice precedent for a woman deliberately interfering with her own reproduction ability.

 

[mbondy]

She should have her tubes tied but that will never EVER happen. Can you mention the law suit in doing that??

Well I think you should be mad at the attorney general! He didn't make a good enough case. I think Casey Anthony is a complete psycho with some bogus story, she lied and lied and lied some more, didn't even file a missing childs' report. I think she knows what happened to her kid, whether she killed or not. But there was no motive and lots of doubt. Just because you party doesn't mean you kill your kid. There also was no real motive. Blame the prosecution.

If you watched or read about any part of the trial, you would know that the prosecution did the best job possible, considering the circumstances of the case and the state the child's remains were in when she was finally found 6 months later. With their stellar closing arguments, I was shocked and disgusted with the verdict - especially after such a short time of deliberating.

Her actions may not constitute murder, but even if her dad had found the child drowned and disposed of the body without her, that in no way justifies her actions and negligence towards her daughter's condition. That speaks volumes in itself - I don't care who you are. And the lies and more lies and turning everything into poor me, while strangers are out looking for her child...She is a narcissistic bitch! People should boycott any book/tv productions related to her and the case. People will want to know what happened to Caylee, but you can't trust a damn word she says anyways, so what's the point?

If you haven't heard of it, you should look up Caylee's Law. ""Caylee's Law" would make it a felony for parents or caregivers to not report the death of a child to authorities -- accidental or otherwise -- within one hour. It also would make it a felony for guardians to not notify law enforcement of the disappearance of a child within 24 hours." - Floridatoday.com
People are petitioning for it, as a result of the not guilty verdict.

Yeah the deliberation was surprisingly short...not sure why. The prosecution did a good job, I'm not saying they didn't but it wasn't good enough, I can't believe they couldn't charge her with anything. The dad part was so weird in it's own...dysfunctional family to say the least.

For those interested in petitioning, it's very easy to do. Just go to change.org and click on the link for Caylee's Law. It's a very small form to fill out (basic info: name, location)

Ugh. For those of you who would have voted to convict her based on your own opinions and assumptions, I hope (if I end up in court for something or other) I do not get any of you on my jury.

Again, the convictions are based on what was said in court (as it should be.) Think about all the cases where people were sent to prison before DNA testing and then were found innocent later. There wasn't rock solid evidence against them, but they still went to jail even though they were innocent. While we may believe they were guilty, they were not and were wrongly imprisoned. The same could be said for this woman if she in fact didn't commit the crime but was sent to prison because of assumptions. I dont personally think she is innocent, but it would be wrong to convict her because of my opinions and not facts.

Stefan (is that how you spell it) I said "if that was all..." I never said that you
said that, that was all they said. Sorry that was so confusing.

Apology accepted pssh.

I hadn't heard of that but I think it's a great idea. I mean, what the hell, your kid dies/is dying and you don't rush to the phone to call 911? What parent wouldn't want to have authorities there as soon as possible to see if their child can be saved? Little Billy drinks some detergent and you just throw your arms up, like "oh well. What a shame?"

That's what drives me nuts the most about this case. If little Caylee did drown or die from an accidental case, what possess a parent to throw them in a swamp? Because that is absolutely the type of dignified, loving funeral I would want for my baby. If there is nothing to hide, then there is no reason to not report the death to the authorities.

Not everyone has the same maternal instincts.

 

[Cainschams]

Im just surprised its over and no one can get on with their own lives

 

[Kash]

Not everyone has the same maternal instincts.

Clearly, that woman has NO maternal instincts!

 

[pssh]

Yeah I suppose. In my opinion, yes, but it would depend on each personal opinion.

 

[Olimpia]

Lol Pssh, in whose opinion is that maternal instinct? I might think even sociopaths would be able to tell the difference between what they understand is maternal instinct and this woman's pseudo-mothering.

 

[pssh]

Welllllll, I dont know. It's just possible.

Just a few things circulating FB.

 

[robmd1]

hahahahaha, that first one is hilarious.

A couple of the jurors have come forward and they've made it clear that they just didn't think the prosecution proved premeditated murder and they were not given the option of picking a lesser crime. Had the prosecution included a charge that allowed for the actual death being accidental, they most likely would have convicted Ms. Anthony.

This is a failure of the prosecution, not the jurors who only did the job they were tasked with doing.
