Casey Anthony Trial: Jury Reaches Verdict

There was duct tape found around the lower jaw. As there was no fabric, skin, DNA, or other material on the sticky portion of the duct tape there is no way to tell when it was applied or if it was applied directly to the child.

i suppose some raccoon put it there.

the duct tape on her moth proves she was murdered. why else would it be there? casey is not a mom, she's a monster.

Unfortunately, the duct tape doesn't prove anything. It was found in position over what would have been the child's mouth. The bones had been moved, scattered, jostled, and manipulated by animals. The tape could also have been moved. it wasn't attached to the skull when found, and no DNA, skin fragments, or other materials related to the body (expect a patch of hair) were found on the tape. Even the heart sticker wasn't actually on the tape...there was an impression of a heart and a sticker found a few feet away in debris.

That wasn't proven, only speculated based on vague evidence.

It was proven with chemical smell expert or something. The smell of a dead body was unmistakable, it was testified as such.

And that vague evidence was completely debunked. As for the "smell", that test could not be duplicated. As for the maggots, the defense attorney, on cross, got the pathologist to admit that they came not from the child, but from a bag of garbage. Prosecution presented flawed evidence, and it compromised their case.

Wow, proven innocent in a court of law and people still want her head on a platter.

At what point does "proven innocent" actually mean that?

I'm glad she walked, there was no real evidence she killed the child. I believe she lied, but did not murder the girl.

Good job, jury.

Again not guilty is not the same as innocent. Innocent does not enter into a jury verdict.

Oh wah wah. . . what's with this thing against Nancy Grace? Geesh - who gives a ****? What does that have to do with the fact that this child has still received NO justice for her demise? Hundreds of members of the media reported on this over the years - HUNDREDS . . .and you pick just one to harp on? Damn - talk about being led astray by a carrot on a stick.

well, in his defense..
Nancy Grace has to be the most annoying woman on earth with the possible eception of Nancy Pelosi.

that being said, the jury had to find her not guilty,
too many unknowns to send someone away for the rest of their life, or sentence them to death.
prosecution worked with what they had in regards to concentrating on Casey.
But sometimes you miss the forest because of the trees as they say.

Someone killed her, but it wasnt a one man murder.....and as a juror I would have to go no further than the realization that she couldnt have acted solely on her own. And the fact that the prosecution didnt at least bring up that fact, much less look into it...I'd of had to acquit also.
I chalk it up to laziness on the side of the prosection.

but rememember, as with OJ, what goes around comes around.
So if she had anything at all to do with it, and I believe she did. It will get her.

For 3 years Nancy Grace played prosecutor, judge and jury and convicted this innocent woman in the media. I find her totally disgusting. She and people like her is what is wrong with the media in our country today.

i listeded to that testimony....seemed anything BUT vague to me.

Did you read the FBI reports and the depositions for the expert witnesses related to the trunk?? It was speculatory and nothing concrete could be provided. They couldn't re-product the results they got from the first test, and the machine used was brand-new, uncertified, and unproven.
 
dontworrybehappy said:
The evidence points in about 8 different directions.

The dead body in the woods proves only the child died.

The duct tape on the mouth proves nothing in and of itself.

The smell of a dead body proves nothing more than a deceased child (or human) was in the car, and then it doesn't prove that in totality.

The lies prove nothing but a mom that didn't know where to turn.

NONE of it proves that Casey killed her daughter.
Click to expand...

I'm not demanding that she be found guilty of murder because I can see that there's not solid evidence of that. It is remotely possible that she died accidentally - but as to why the mother wouldn't handle that properly? I don't know - that makes no sense. At age 4 I was taught how to dial 911 if something really bad happens. :shrug: She's not insane - she was evaluated to be able ot stand trial - so . . . why didn't she behave appropriately and with concern for her supposedly 'missing' child?

All that time with her child missing - without reporting the child missing - that RIGHT THERE to me is NEGLECT and ABUSE - which I really expected her ot be found guilty of and am SHOCKED that she wasn't found guilty of that.

You see where I see the neglect and abuse?

I'd see anyone guilty of neglect and abuse if they didn't report their young child missing asap after they were gone.

It isn't even her obsession that bothers me. It's her condescending, "I'm so right", rude, bitchy, holier than thou attitude that I can't stand. She told her own colleague on HLN, "just shut up, you're wrong".

Then don't watch Nancy Grace. **** - I don't.

There is no test or machine or expert that can 100% accurately identify the smell of "dead body". None. The prosecutions expert witness even admitted such.

the counts she was convicted of were misdemeaners. She has already served 3 years. She will walk out of jail thursday a free woman.

If not sooner. I'm surprised her attorney didn't ask the judge to let her out immediately.

Well THAT I understand - my husband likes Glenn Beck. I had to suffer through that show endlessly and was a bit happy when it finally ended the other day.

they didn't have to PROVE that piece of evidence.........but certainly momma anthony thought the same thing...it smelled like a dead body. no, i didn't read the reports, but i did listen to the testimony.

the evidence, in total, i believe proves beyond a REASONABLE doubt the she killed her daughter. it's NOT reasonable to believe the caylee into a pool with a gate, drowned, and then her ex-cop grandpa got rid of the body. NOT REASONABLE. we know casey knew she dead, we know what casey's behavior was after that, and we know she told lie after lie after lie. that's why they couldn't put her on the stand....she's a LIAR.

She's currently also serving a sentence related to check fraud and one other charge linked to it...that may be why they aren't pushing for immediate release.

You weren't pushing "neglect and abuse" in your above post. You were pushing murder. And I stand by the fact that I believe she didn't murder this child.

Do I think she was a great mom? No. Do I think she wanted the child dead? I don't know. Do I think shes guilty of some kind of wrongdoing? Yes. What? I don't know. And honestly, neither does anyone else here. But to want someone's head on a platter because you "think" they did it and you have kids, who the **** cares? You can have kids or not have kids, but you shouldn't want an innocent, ahem, NOT GUILTY woman to get life without for not killing someone.
