Casey Anthony Trial: Jury Reaches Verdict

Since when is failing to report a child inadequate supervision? A person can't even get away with murdering their kid without people getting uppity. Sheesh, people are so touchy!

As far as I know, "No"

But my mind could be changed if someone would post a link to the law that says it is neglect to not report your missing child
Click to expand...

it is neglect to allow your child to become missing.

it's just stupid (not to mention suspicious) to not report it afterwards
 
And to think...most politicians are lawyers. Many are trained as defense lawyers.

How did we ever get in this situation as a country with such fine, upstanding people leading the way?

another thing: how the hell they ruled not guilty on the child abuse charge is unbelievable. the mere fact that the kid was missing for a month before she told anyone is, in itself, child abuse. your kid is missing and instead of telling someone, you make up a lie about a non-existant nanny and go out partying?

That's not true at all, there is no law that states a time period in which you have to report your child missing or else its child abuse. Show me one or I'm calling bullshyt.
 
How long before the book deal and movie deal.
 
The state blew it they did not have the evidence. I am amazed at the bias news coverage and outrage.

I told friends Monday that there was no evidence showing how or who killed the little girl. The verdict is correct


Funny thing is the outrage over this yet abortion is okay. we can kill a million babies a year but this is sooooo bad. This is hypocrisy to me.


I also think the people going to the Anthony's and making threats need a life

it's ****ing illegal to leave them in a car while you get groceries, it's ****ing damn sure neglect if you leave them for 31 mother ****ing days.

In Florida, the child-in-car law was just recently amended to make it a second-degree misdemeanor to leave a child under the age of 6 alone in a vehicle for more than fifteen minutes or at all if the car is still running

I agree with this. There is not enough evidence for a conviction - Casey could have killed her intentionally, could have gotten angry, hit her and then she died or she could have died accidentally. People keep acting like they know she murdered her daughter and although the circumstantial evidence set that theory up well, there's no way a conviction could rely on it.

From the DCFS website..."Neglect happens when a parent or responsible caretaker fails to provide adequate supervision, food, clothing, shelter or other basics for a child."

DCFS - FAQ's Child Abuse and Neglect

Now are you attempting to say that failure to report a missing child for 31 days is "adequate supervision"?

Really?

I don't see how the law defines "adequate supervision". Without knowing how the law defines that, how can you know she did not provide it?

Besides, that doesn't say the "failure to report" is a crime. The failure to provide adequate supervision is neglect but not reporting it is not a crime

Leaving your child in a car = neglect
Not reporting it - not neglect

Irrelevant. There is no evidence her death was accidental.
There is evidence it was intentional. (Diary, the tape, the bag, the car that smelled like dead people, the 31 days, the partying, the chloroform searches)
In the absence of evidence it was accidental, that's entirely irrelevant. Now, if she comes out and tells a new story and that it was an accident...there is some evidence...but she didn's, so there isn't. The kid was killed for pete's sake.

People keep acting like they know she murdered her daughter and although the circumstantial evidence set that theory up well, there's no way a conviction could rely on it.

Up to the judge and jury what is and isn't upheld right?

LOL. Leaving you kid for 15 minutes in a car, even if the car is on with AC running, is a crime (not necessariliy neglect!)
Leaving them unattended for 31 ****ing days is business as usual.

Sick people. Really sick.

Wrong there is evidence somebody tried to cover it up. There is no evidence how she died or why

Her defense team said it was accidental, so that's as good as a news story. The car, the 31 days, the partying and the bag could easily just be disposal of a person who accidentally died by a sociopath or someone who's had a mental break. The other stuff is not enough to convict on. They don't even know exactly how she died.

Learn to read.

leaving kid in car = neglect
Not reporting it = not neglect.

It's a crime to murder someone
It's not a crime if you don't confess to it.

What is sick is thinking that people have no right to refuse to testify against themselves. You should read the constitution

OMG! has it come to this? We need a law to force parents to report when their child is missing? Are you kidding me? This is really logic on its head, much like Geraldo last night proclaiming that Casey was a good mother.

After this case, I think we do need that law.

Sadily that may be so...Man, how deeply have we fallen into the "me" society. When it gets to the point where someone says that a mother that fails to report her own child missing for 31 days while she hits the club scene and lives it up....My heart weeps for that little girl.

Actually, there is evidence of how she died, and why. Hell, you reject the evidence for evolution, not surprising there are issues with evidence in your estimation.

The chloroform, the car, the 31 days unreported, the partying, the tape/bag, the hair, the cover up, the diary.
It's evidence. All evidence points to Casey murdering her daughter. No evidence points any other way. It's plausible to fantasize that she got a boyfriend to do it and she was just an accomplice, or that her father accidentally did it and they are just covering up. But those have no far less evidence to support them. Hence, you go with the evidence.

The chloroform and the tape are the only evidence of murder and that's not enough at all.
