i guess OJ is still out there trying to find the real killer. maybe casey can join him and look for her daughter's killer also.
oh, never mind, i forgot.
casey's case was an accidental drowing where they covered the child in duct tape from the home and threw her in the woods, which is what any normal person would do when a child drowns, right? (oh, and then lie about it....)
It's only a "miscarriage" because you don't personally agree with it.
I saw no difference between this and the O.J. trail. No matter what we believed or heard, we could only rely on the clean evidence provided and hold the burden of proof on the prosecutors.
If the prosecutors don't prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt" then the jurors MUST return a not guilty verdict.
Exactly, case closed (pardon the pun). Prosecution must prove their case, and they did not.
why don't you try a little common sense in this situation?
the defense said that the baby drowned in the anthony pool. the baby was eventually found (no thanks to the family) covered in duct tape around her little mouth in the woods not far from the house. the body was NOT turned in by a family member.
WHO DOES THAT IN AN ACCIDENT? DUH!
and of course we know that none of this is true from the jailhouse conversations with the parents, so we are starting with a lie. the jury convicts her of lying, but not murder. how nutty is that? why would she lie if she didn't commit the murder-innocent people don't need to lie.
i swear some people would have to see the actual video of the murder before they could commit to the fact that it was a murder-and, even then, there would be someone arguing that the film was doctored.
The defense doesnt have to prove ANYTHING...they can throw out any scenario they desire...they dont have to show evidence of a counter theory. The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt...they didnt do that. Not one witness could be found to testify that Casey ever abused, yelled at, spanked, hit or treated Caylee badly...not one. So...the jury is supposed to make the leap of not a single instance of neglect or abuse to the fact that Casey chloroformed and killed her kid?? Too much reasonable doubt on that fact alone.
Now....she WAS found not guilty....no one implied that she is innocent.

You forgot the part about her driving around with her dead decomposing daughter in the trunk of her car for several days too. You know, something any normal person would do.
I largely avoided most of the trial frenzy but from what I saw, I would say it's very despicable. Casey Anthony was effectively being tried in the media as well and it seemed like the media wanted to issue a guilty verdict for her. And what of the people? The people had this very dangerous mindset of guilty before innocent. [MOD CUT]
I agree, with the media frenzy this was pretty close to a witchhunt.At the end of the day I would rather send 10 guilty people home then convict 1 that's innocent.Anyway, on a federal level defendants face a 99% conviction rate, thats the highest in the world and we have 2.5 in prison
YET PEOPLE INSIST WE ARE SOFT ON CRIME, THATS SCARY !!
