Casey Anthony Trial: Jury Reaches Verdict

Aunt Spiker said:
Good mothers don't end up partying while their child is missing and sitting on their asses before they tell someone - eventually.

I understand the dynamics of abuse as I was abused by many people - but if I offed my kids right now that wouldn't remotely be an excuse.

If my kids went missing and I didn't report it for a month that sure as hell wouldnt' be explained away by who fingered me when I was 5.

I don't give a **** about this whole 'daddy touched me' crap. . . it has no place in this.

The thing is she wasn't on trial for being a bad mother, she was on trial for murder. The concrete evidence for murder wasn't there so she was found not guilty. You could always gather up some torches and join the mob :p

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.

The state does have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony was responsible for or had a hand in the death of her daughter. Apparently, in the minds of the jury, they failed. All evidence submitted must be proven to eliminate reasonable doubt. Nothing submitted was more than speculation.

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.

fine, but she was right.

I heard that she put duct tape on the kids mouth, before burying her.

is this a normal act?

I think if the duct tape would have been on the childs mouth directly, it would have had some kind of DNA or cells on it, which it didn't.

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

yes true, but 7 officers that also examined the scene said they didn't smell anything.
 
tessaesque said:
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.
Click to expand...
Well, nothing in the world can be proven 100%. But we rely on eyewitness testimony. People have been convicted based on eyewitness testimony and this guy has smelled dead bodies before, I think, he would know what it smells like. Do you think he's lying or mistaken? I don't believe he's mistaken either.

There certainly wasn't enough circumstantial evidence for murder 1 or felony murder. Manslaughter I thought was possible, and I was 99.9% on the child abuse. I mean, making up that her alleged missing daughter was staying at a fictional nanny while she knew the daughter wasn't around and not reporting it certainly is child abuse. I mean, comon now.

It's possible that exposure to the elements would have washed away any DNA on the tape. What's interesting is that, when tested, the tape returned two different DNA samples. One belonged to a lab tech and the other was undentified. It didn't belong to anybody who had signed the chain-of-evidence report.

She was wrong. She was not the judge and jury. Casey Anthony's peers, a jury of 12 have come to a verdict. NOT GUILTY, justice was served today.

Admit it, you're happy as a pig in **** because you get to rub the wife's (and Nancy Grace's) nose in it.

given the fact the her story was completely unbelievable......and uncorroborated, i will add.........we are left with no other conclusion, given the totality of the evidence submitted. did her father tesitfy that he got rid of the body? perhaps he should now be charged?

and no, all evidence does not have to be proved to find a defendant guilty. not at all. evidence is to be weighed.
 
Unbelievable.

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.

I don't see why? It doesn't hurt to ask.

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?

Wrong. In a murder trial, every damn piece of evidence better be proven correct or the defendant will probably walk.

Casey doesn't have to prove her innocence, the prosecutor has to prove her guilt.

If anything, you should be angry at the prosecutor. If she really was guilty, he should have been able to prove it. It's his fault shes walking.

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.





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

Her father is an Ex-cop and I bet she wasn't taught to dial 911 if something bad happened.

And it was weighed to be inadequate, probably because it couldn't be proven with any certainty.
 
There are alot of nut cases out there that would do Anthony harm. She needs to assume a new identy and have plastic surgery to alter her face. Witness protection program to protect her from the fanatics.
