Casey Anthony Trial: Jury Reaches Verdict

You know what's weird about the nanny? Casey created her in 2006, right before or right after Caylee was born. All of the depositions regarding Cindy painted her to be a very protective, very involved grandmother, yet she never insisted on meeting this nanny or having anything to do with the nanny at all. And why hasn't anybody been asking where Caylee was all of the times she was supposed to be w/the nanny?

Not sure why they never asked to meet them. My neice and nephew had a nanny for a few years that came over to the house to stay with them during the day. I don't remember me (then in my late 20's) ever thinking I needed to ask to see if the nanny was real or not. I just sorta gave my sister the benefit of the doubt she was not making it up and not leaving the kids alone all day. I had no reason to doubt there really was a nanny. Are you saying it's reasonable to question the existence of a nanny if a family member says they have one?

and no, all evidence does not have to be proved to find a defendant guilty. not at all. evidence is to be weighed.
When it comes to murder charges, the jury is instructed to acquit if they have any reasonable doubt the defendant did not commit the crime. This case was full of doubt as the state failed to proved Casey killed her own baby. That's how OJ walked; as guilty as he appeared, the defense was successful in highlighting reasonable doubt.

I just think it was in Cindy's nature to be overly involved in Casey's raising of Caylee. Most of the depositions said stuff like, "Casey had to get permission for overnight stays with Caylee" and things of that nature. I think if Cindy was so involved in handling how Caylee was raised it would have been out of character for her not to question Casey about the nanny.
 
She's as innocent as OJ was.

Take that as you will.
 
At the same time, many people are outraged and Casey Anthony's life is likely in jeopardy.

She was in protective detention before, and that's where they've taken her again. She's isolated to her cell 23 hours a day, with one hour out for food/shower, by herself, no other inmates. I wonder where she'll go when she's released. I'd get the hell out of Florida, for sure.

Let's play that out... let's say Cindy assumed the nanny was a lie because Casey wouldn't introduce the nanny to her. What rights does the Grandmother have at that point? None. Would that by itself have changed anything?

I'm not saying that the outcomes would have been different. I just think it is very weird given the dynamic of Cindy's involvement with Caylee that she never thought to question the nanny until after June of 2008. I think this may be another one of those areas where something isn't quite right with the chain of events.

I can't imagine where she'll go. Her defense pretty much threw everyone under the bus.
 
I find it sad and unamerican the lack of respect that some people have for our justice system.. I didn't follow this case so I am not going to make any claim to her guilt or innocense.. Except to say that 12 jurors unanimously found her innocent.. Which appears to mean nothing to some..

Just because a case doesn't get the ruling you want or agree with, doesn't give you the right to condemn her and call for her death.. According to the law and our system of justice.. Like OJ, she is innocent.. Whether we agree with it or not is irrelevent.. It is the judgements they got..

I would be more concerned about the innocent people that are on death row about to die even though they have committed no crime and the justice system has failed them.. I would rather see a murder go free than an innocent person be put to death.. To me it is worse when someone who is innocent is found guilty than someone who may be guilty is found innocent..

I don't know what happened to this little girl.. As I am sure most of us here don't..

In the end, justice has been served, and if you are an american, you will respect the judgement regardless of how you feel about it.. While it isn't perfect, I still believe that our system of justice is the best on the planet..

Um, excuse me, Mr. Batman, but what is your opinion on the Casey Anthony verdict?
 
I didn't say you did...just in case you didn't see the question mark, that was a question.

The insinuation exists with the question... which is why I asked where it was it was identified as a bad thing. See like this:

When did you last beat up your wife and send her to the hospital?

HAHAHAHA. That's funny, I don't have a wife, I like spending my money myself.
 
i am ashamed of my fellow floridians. i had no idea they were that stupid.

Remember the hanging chad's in the 2000 election... no offense, but they are that stupid. Lolz
 
Into wanting innocent people dead, are we?

Can I buy tickets when someone wants you dead?

I think he was talking about me throat punching Nancy Grace. Don't worry...I have a very weak upper body. I wouldn't cause her much harm...but with any luck I'd silence her for a minute.

IMO, she'd probably drop dead if she had to stop talking for minute
 
I'm so angry right now that I cannot atring words together that would be apt at describing my position on this matter. Can you imagine?
