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.
I'm not back peddaling on anything. Where did I say there wasn't enough evidence? In my Opinion, The prosecution DID have sufficiemt evidence, certainly enough for a conviction. However, that "jury of clowns" { your words, not mine } did not convict and that is that. The law says that that is the end of it, so it should be.
Me not supporting the possibility of another trial has nothing to do with wether or not I think there was enough evidence to convict the first time around.
I definitely support that CA spends the maximum amount of time in any court and any jail, under any charge they can possibly find on her. I don't care if it is as lame as stealing Internet off a neighbor. Any lame ass charge they can find, to make stick.
You're right, but thats not what Annie53 posted. So, my link confirms what she posted.
Actually she did make it sound like they were actively pursuing the test.

The one young man who did die in a car accident.....had told his family that he had a daughter.....yet, that family made no effort to find her when he died. They never hired a private detective to track down their "most beloved" grandchild....did they?
But now that they may be able to cash in.....all of a sudden they are coming forward and asking for a paternity test.

As Whipper pointed out, the feds don't have jurisdiction in this case since this crime occurred completely within the state of Florida.
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.

Posts can easily be misinterpreted, happens all time. No inflection, as with face to face dialog. I took the post for exactly what it said, and is correct.
Lets say there was another trial in Federal Court (hypothetically), it would certainly be based on evidence.
Your absolutely right and my point is, IF there is another trial in federal court (hypothetically), it won't be because some ignoramous started a petition. All the signatures in the country wouldn't persuade the courts either for or against another trial.

I see your point. Petitions have there value in revision or incorporating new law, not so much here.
The big question, CAN Federal Court retry the Casey Anthony case?
