I'm assuming that's what the jury will say. In their books.
I can understand "not proven". I didn't think the state of CA proved Robert Blake killed his wife.
But this case? The prosecution proved it to me. Were I on that jury we'd still be sitting in the jury room because I'd hang that jury if necessary. IMO the state of Florida proved that Casey Anthony killed her daughter.
Maybe. However, if you had been on the jury, sequestered, and restricted to only the evidence presented in the courtroom (witnesses for BOTH sides), and after reviewing the Judge's instructions as to the law, you may have had a very different position. Of course, you would have had to start out the case with the same perspective that each of these jurors had regarding this case.
I want to say, though, that I have very much enjoyed discussing this case with you on this forum. Even though we disagree on the issue of guilt, you made some very good points which caused me to rethink my position and analysis of different issues.
I am actually not surprised. Child abuse cases, and child deaths are rarely given death penalty, unless there is clear cut evidence.
I think she is guilty, but the transcript of her former boyfriend is very interesting, he states that Casey was really in fear of her Mother, and if any accident happened to Caylee, Casey would have covered it up. And that was a transcript from July 2008.

Thank you Morgain. You have made me think as well.
I believe in the jury system. I am thankful to live in a country where we have the jury system. And a system for appeals. I don't agree with this verdict and right now I'm having a little trouble respecting the verdict. But I'm glad the system is in place.
I gather you work on the defense end of things? I'm glad you are there. Goodness knows I'd want all of my rights were I a defendent. I'd hate to live in a society without defense attorneys. And, yes, the ACLU, lol.
People do and in this case someone was acquitted of murder UNJUSTtLY! And there is no JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE! Nothing you will say will convince me otherwise. This has nothing to do with the media. This is a woman who blatantly laughed, lied, about her daughter's murder which I believe committed.
And I would NEVER be accused of a crime that I didn't commit because I WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER DOING A CRIME SUCH AS KILLING MY CHILD!
So you are saying through all your emotional posts, that you knew of every detail presented in this trial. You sat through all the hours of testimony and statements like the jury did?
Or did you only hear what was on the nightly news and presented on the other news outlets?
News is about sensationlism. They wanted to portray her as guilty so we all believe she is guilty. This is how they get ratings.
I am not saying she is or is not guilty but I trust the jury took all the evidence presented to determine there was reasonable doubt that she did it.

I listened, read and watched the trial on and off. I do not watch opinionated shows such as Nancy Grace, Dr Drew or any other of those type of talk shows were it is all one sided with a skew view. I am not into media sensationalism.
While there was certainly a lack of evidence, I felt that the prosecution did a better job at presenting their case against Casey Anthony. I thought or hope to believe that the jurors would see this instead of Jorge Baez crazy theories and throwing her family under the bus.
I watched the trial on In Session almost everyday. I can say that if I was on the jury I would have voted at least for manslaughter, and would have let the jury hang if I was the only one. The hard evidence was the presence of human decomposition in Casey's trunk, and the circumstantial evidence was Casey's lies to family, friends and law enforcement in an effort to deter the investigation of Caylee's disappearance. Both of these facts make it very clear that she was involved in the death of Caylee. There is no hard proof of premeditation or first degree, although even that could be argued because of the duct tape and chloroform, but I think manslaughter was adequately proved by the state.
I know that if I lived in the anthony neighborhood I would be scared to death to be at home at any time because who knows how many whackos are out there and will decide to do something to the anthony home you know ? I hope not but you just never know . I think they will all leave florida eventually .
