i know that she was not at all concerned about her daughter when she was out partying..........so i won't be concerned about her welfare now. the fact that she would tell any lie and harm any person she could to get off sickens me. she sickens me. who cares what she has to do to survive? why should she have protection when she clearly offered no protection to her daughter?

i don't care about her options.........she caused everything that happened to her. and if she profits on her daughters death, it further proves the point that she's a sociopathic, loathsome bitch.

Actually, you don't know that. Without knowing what happened all we can do is guess. We can guess it was relief, we can guess it was grief, we can guess it was avoidance, we can guess it was "this is my last chance to live it up before I get caught"...we can guess all day...but we don't know a damned thing.

Yeah.. I kind of hate so see her make money off this, but unless her defense team finds her work or something-- who is going to hire her? At BEST she is a terrible liar... not a good quality when looking for a job. I'd rather she support herself than end up on welfare. People that don't want her having babies should remember that. Kids are worth $$$ in this country to welfare people. Her PARENTS aren't making any secret of looking for money, that's for sure. They say they are unemployable now, and taking offers.. Oh, Lord... horrible case.. wish it would just go away.

This was the danger of sensationalizing it all in the first place. I saw somebody on HLN drop an interview she was doing like it was a hot potato just so she could chase after the lawyers filing out of the court room and walking down the street. There were tourists and bystanders celebrating 4th of July, and they had no idea the trail was a block away from them. She was shoving microphones in everybody's faces and totally destroying her creditably and any respect they had for her, and on live TV. And she was so proud it was LIVE TV too. Capitalism and competition drives people to be irresponsible sometimes...

It's not our duty to judge her or the jurors... Casey and God know the truth. I think we should leave God's job to God.
I hate self righteous people, they tend to be cruel and capable of being monsters much like the people they hate, and yes, it looks like and sounds like hate outside the court house. It's disgusting on all levels. Humans are sick creatures sometimes.

I'm not even a religious person, but this (in a way) sums up my belief. A trial was held, available evidence was presented, and she was acquitted. Judgment has been passed by people more equipped to pass judgment than anybody here. I find it more than a little disturbing that people are so quick to call for her death, punishment, suffering, and castigate her for doing whatever she has to do to survive from here on out. The fact is we don't know what happened. We can guess and assume all day, but some of us will always be wrong and none of us are likely to ever know who those are who are incorrect. I find it equally disturbing that these people are basing their assumptions on media sensationalism and hyperbolic emotional reaction. The evidence doesn't support their assertions or assumptions but they refuse to consider actual facts for lord only knows what reason.

Ironically, some of these people are the very same who would rail on stations like FoxNews for being biased about something far less important than somebody's life.

perhaps you are referring to me. i simply do not care what happens to her, and yes, i think it's disgusting that she would profit from this. instead of feeling sorry for her, whatever befalls her, let's remember that she caused all of this. she CHOSE her path.

Aren't they already planning to make her $millions from book deals and movies?

possibly. however, making a movie or writing a book could open her to libel charges, right?

Yup, she did. But she did not choose to succumb to emotionally irrational idiots nationwide who would gladly ignore fact and evidence to sling her up to a stake and burn her alive. It is not our responsibility to continue punishing this woman for the rest of her life for something nobody can be sure she did. Those with that responsibility have already issued their judgment, and those who believe in God can rest assured she'll "get what's coming to her" when she dies.

She's been ruined by this, but that doesn't mean she no longer has a right to rebuild her life. Somebody will profit off of Caylee's death (even more than those who already have...why aren'y you throwing Nancy Grace under the bus?), and if Casey can rebuild her life by telling her story, or signing off on the rights to the story she probably will.

At the end of the day, I don't know what kind of person she is. The evidence doesn't consistently support the most ardent conclusions voiced in this forum. While there are some questionable scenarios and some pretty ****ty actions, there are also 22.5 years of history which contradict everything that happened in those 31 days. So either something changed her, something snapped, or she put on a well-executed act for 22.5 years. I'm not a trained psychologist, therapist, or expert in human behavior, so I'm not going to run around screaming about how sure I am when I know I can't be.

I think the media did a really good job of sensationalizing the story and focusing in on how Casey was acting, and portrayed her as a bad person.

Seems to me, that the more people watched the trail, the more understanding they are as to why the jury made the decision they made. People who are really pissed off and going off on the jury and wishing ill on others, are people who happened to have not watched much of trail.

The media and Nancy Grace did a damn good job making people hate Casey, but jurors had the duty of presuming she was innocent until PROVEN guilty.

The point is, the people who are angry didn't hear the whole story... They just saw Casey acting in ways that were unacceptable, and that's why they hate her.

There was no proof Casey murdered her, or her father murdered Caylee. For all we know, somebody else could have done it like a babysitter, and Casey was protecting them with her lies. We really don't know. We don't have proper evidence. What Casey did do, act inappropriately under the circumstances, isn't enough to put her away for life and I am really glad she isn't going to get death, considering the lack of evidence.

I seriously can't work up strong concern for Casey. Yes, the jurors made the right call, the only call they could make given the weak circumstantial case they had. The trial DID prove that Casey knew what happened to her daughter and didn't care, threw her daughter into a swamp, threw her family under the bus trying to save herself. These things WERE proven.

Now Casey will be back on the streets next week, making the rounds of tv talk shows, raking in the money, basking in the glow of self-centered attention-whoredom. Soon enough public interest will wane, and she'll be alone, penniless, looking over her shoulder for the rest of her narcisstic life. I hope some loon doesn't screw up his/her own life by trying to get "Justice for Caylee" on their own. Other than that, I seriously do not care what happens to this woman.
