I think the majority would support him, not because they think he is entitled to win a settlement, but for the simple fact it would just be another way of sticking it to old Casey Anthony.

As far as I can tell there are no grounds to try her in federal court. Casey Anthony has had her day in court and was found not guilty wether we like it or not. She has already served her time for her convictions. People just need to accept it and move on, no offense intended j12

She has never had charges filed on her in federal court. That is why double jeopardy does not apply.
There is a reason for that, there are no grounds to file in federal court. The judicial system is specificly set up so that state courts can take care of these matters.
Another thing with these petitions. The fact hat people start them shows how ignorant they are about the judicial system. It doesn't run on a basis of want or demand, so people can sign it all they want to but it is and will always remain a symbolic gesture. There are a specific set of laws in place and if the law isn't there to back a charge up, it just isn't, no matter how much people want it or demand it to be.

And the point is??? This is just another stupid petition. Refer to my quoted post. Not a demand based system. There will never be a federal trial and that is something I would bet real money on, nor should there be. I would not sign this petition, { infact, as a citizen of the USA I would be embarassed to have my name on it } and I would discourage others from doing so as well. The very title to your link undermines the Contitution and and the protections it affords each of us.
As much as I wanted to see CA put away forever, I would not support another trial for these charges. Thonk about it this way. What if she had been found guilty and the small % of people who think she is innocent started a petition to give her another trial and it was granted! Not based on evidence or law, or appeal, but on the fact that someone started a petition. Would anyone support it then?
It would be a trajesty if any of these "petitions" were to succeed. { which they won't }

While the STATE case cannot be overturned, a homicide case can be pursued in US Federal Court. According to the US Attorney’s Office at the Middle District of Florida they would need to receive the case information from the FBI in order to determine if they have a viable homicide case against Casey Anthony.
Updated post So then, the case you've posted had sufficent evidence by the prosecution to support first degree murder and a jury of clowns, you're now going to back pedal on? I'm surprised.
