Casey Anthony Trial: Jury Reaches Verdict

apparently, since she was "not guilty" and didn't kill her child, to her knowledge the kid wasn't dead...just "missing". not reporting that your child is missing is neglect, which qualifies as child abuse.

So you think it's possible to abuse a dead child and you think abuse is the same as neglect?

BWAHAHAHA.jpg
 
I'm lead to believe that your statement would be in response to the closing sentence of my post? In response the Jury did not find her Guilty either, and until proven guilty, her innocence is protected under the Law! Therefore, further prosecution by the Public, and Media is making her a Victim. If you had evidence that she committed murder you should have reported it! If you have no such evidence then your assertions of guilt hold as much water as the Prosecutions.

I am replying to my own post in order to effect a change of verbiage: Amend third sentence "prosecution" to read "persecution"
 
So you think it's possible to abuse a dead child

can't you read? I said nothing about the child being dead...only missing

and you think abuse is the same as neglect?

read a book. most social service departments consider neglect to be a form of abuse. if you NEGLECT to feed your kid for a week, that's abuse. if you don't know where your kid is and you NEGLECT to tell anyone they are missing, that's abuse.

the only way she isn't guilty of abuse is if she knew the kid was dead. If she knew the kid was dead, whether by tragic accident, as her defense claims, or whether someone else killed her, she is still guilty under Florida law of "failure to report a death".
 
Can't you think? That child *IS* dead.

allegedly, she didn't know that at the time. that's the point.

if she knew the kid was dead: GUILTY of failure to report a death
if she didn't know the kid was dead: GUILTY of abuse via neglect

sometimes it really is that simple

Then the state should have charged her correctly instead of with murder 1. Sometimes it really is that simple.

who said they shouldn't have?
 
The State should have filed charges for "Failure to report a Death" as seen below a 1st Degree Misdemeanor which carries penalties of Fines and up to 1 Year in Jail, plus the Lying to a Police Officer during an Investigation also carrying 1 year Jail time per count, and not pressed the charge of Murder or Child Abuse until there was sufficient evidence for conviction. This same charge could have been brought against anyone who had knowledge of the death and failed to report it.

Funny how people are crying and are up in arms over this case but couldn't care less about other kids dying or being killed.

I find this case to be some of the worst social pornography I have ever seen and the people bawling their eyes out and are upset over the outcome, need to see a shrink - they have serious issues themselves.
 
This post, so filled with misunderstanding of the situation it addresses, might have been answered by others, but I'm so gobsmacked that I can't let myself go past it without answering:

I'm sorry, the coroner should be fired.

If there was a drop of chlorine in her lungs, that would show drowing as a cause of death.

There were no lungs. The lungs, like every other body organ, had long since disolved into nothingness.

was the skull x-rayed? was the whole body x-rayed? did they find ANY breaks in the bones anywhere?

The salvaged bones, those that hadn't been carted off by scavengers, were thoroughly examined and showed no sign of trauma beyond being gnawed upon by animals.

what about the skin? was there any sign of trauma?

There was no skin. It, too, had disolved along with the organs, blood and tissue into nothingness.

did they check under the kid's nails for skin?

The child had no fingernails. She had no skin. She may not have even had the skeletal remains of both hands. One cannot check under the fingernails of a skeleton, because skeleton's do... not... have... fingernails.

I mean, :shock:

That was one of Thunders larger gems of incredibly uninformed commentary.

That's cause it's a somewhat attractive middle class female being charged. No one would give a crap if it was Fat hairy 'Ol Joe Nelson from Memphis, Or Shaniqua Cosby from Harlem. Average joes are boring. We can blame America's obsession with this case on none other than the media. Same as every event that has a large American following.

Yes, he obviously didn't read the autopsy report. It clearly states that nothing but a skeleton was found. No soft tissue at all.
 
in other words, you don't know which means saying she killed her with certainty is nonsensical.


There is considerable evidence that Caylee's death was an accident, and also evidence that Caylee drowned in the Anthony backyard pool. How did the scent of human decomposition get into the Anthpny back yard, discovered by two cadaver dogs in July of 2009? Why did George confide to River Cruise that Caylee's disapearance was an accident? Why did a noted Medical Examiner find that the duct tape had been placed on Caylee's mouth, after she was dead? Was someone trying to cover up the accident, and make Caylee's disappearance appear to be a child abduction?

if you killed your child, and you know where she is, she's not missing. so wouldn't reporting her missing being lying to leo?

Whats your point? Laws are made to protect the innocent not the guilty
 
Why doesn't matter. The Constitution prohibits the govt from forcing testimony from a citizen that can be used against them.

You can not say that if no crime was committed. They do not make laws because criminals may lie. Criminals will lie no matter what the law.

So whats your point? How would you do things differently?
 
What things? States are making Caylee laws to try and fix the fact parents do not have to report children missing.

'Caylee's Law' proposals follow Casey Anthony verdict

Which is the most absurd law that will ever be written.

How the hell do you enforce it? What if they are in the care of someone else, a babysitter, grandparents, a nanny? What if you're on a 2 week vacation and the child goes missing during that time frame? What if they go missing while at a sleepover? What if they go missing at a summer camp? Are the parents held liable, the summer camp people? It's ridiculous.

I mean what time frame will you put before it becomes a crime, and how will you PROVE that the parents knew the child was missing at all and didn't think they were "at Bobbys house" or anywhere else, for that matter?

It's a stupid, "feel good" law that is completely unenforceable unless the time frame stated is stated in months.
