penguin31 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Anyone who genuinely paid attention to this trial and looked at the evidence without automatically trying to put her away .could see reasonable doubt left and right. The system still works. As a general rule, the louder Nancy Grace gets, the more I assume the accused is actually innocent, and that philosophy has proven AMAZINGLY astute over the years. /Haters gonna hate.

Ice_nine Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I don't know . . . smh To be totally honest I didn't folllow the trial extremely close but . . . it's just terrible all around. A little girl died and her murderer is walking. I'm just disgusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amppax Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Wow, didn't really follow the case, but what I did see (been down in florida for the last few weeks, and trial coverage has been the ONLY thing on TV) it seems like there could have been reason for reasonable doubt. Idk, i'm not comfortable with the idea of a murderer walking, but i'm also not comfortable with the idea of someone who is truly innocent being put in jail. Hopefully the murderer, whoever it was, is brought to justice (aka lock them up and throw away the key). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin31 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Would I have convicted her based on the evidence? No. Not going to lock another person in jail for life unless I'm absolutely sure, and I'm glad the system works this way. You know what makes me sick? Based on the number of people who were absolutely convinced she was guilty, you'd have assumed she'd have killed the baby during halftime of the Super Bowl. Millions of people who run around proclaiming guilt when they know even less about the case than the folks in the courtroom.The aforementioned shrieking harpy is insulting her every third work and all but calling the jury idiots and saying she did it anyway, and I find that sickening.

Cherie Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 They did it all wrong, all wrong. The prosecutors threw everything they had hoping that something would stick ... well, all that does is make you look like you have a bunch of stories with holes in them. I think they thought it was a cut and dry kind of thing ... and now Casey Anthony walks away. That poor, precious little Caylee. We will never know what[i] really[/i] happened to her. But I sure as heck think it was Casey who killed her. I think [i]everyone[/i] thinks it was Casey who killed her. Is Casey Anthony getting psychiatric help at least? I hope so. She desperately needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkwright Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) wow couldn't believe this. No doubt in my mind she did it - jury just got it wrong. Oh well, perhaps they've spared a victim of the death penalty. The truth will be known some day. Edited July 5, 2011 by rkwright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] A guy in my program's Facebook status stood out to me. "I wish people got this upset for all the people we find innocent in the courts, who were put through this process". And yep, this is how the system should work; in our model of criminal justice it is better that ten guilty go free than one innocent be imprisoned. I can't help but wonder if she'd been found guilty and sentenced to death, if the Innocence Project would have taken up her case. For those who haven't heard of it, it's a group that uses DNA evidence to exonerate death row inmates. The sheer number they found was partially responsible for what was originally a moratorium on the death penalty in Illinois, and later its banning.

kavalamyself Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Who else would have done this? The police aren't out looking for a suspect. She knew her child was dead from day one and all she did was party, get tattooed and post pictures of herself on Facebook. She didn't even admit her child was missing until she was confronted by her own mother 31 day after the little girl was last seen! Scott Peterson was convicted on less than this, to be honest. At least he had the decency to "pretend" that he was upset and at least he actually reported her missing the day she went "missing." You can't say the same for Casey Anthony. I watched this trial pretty carefully and I am still in shock over the way this girl acted in jail; the things she said to her parents, the lies upon lies, and her total lack of concern over her MISSING child. And then to admit at the beginning of the trial that it was an accident gone wrong and her Dad molested her to such a degree that she couldn't report it? But that same molestation didn't stop her from clubbing, partying, and being totally indifferent to the fact that her child was DEAD which she admitted that she knew from DAY ONE?! And then there was NO evidence of molestation and no details put forth regarding her drowning? Are we really supposed to believe that her Dad wrapped up his grandchild and put duct tape over her head and threw her in the same place where the family buried their pets? And put a sticker over her mouth? Oh my gosh, this is so sick. So now we have to have every single little tiny detail in evidence before people can use their minds? All the DNA evidence in the world was all over the OJ case and he got off, so I have no idea how people see things anymore. I really don't. I am sure the book and TV offers are pouring in, and she will make tons of money. As for Nancy Grace, I don't know what there is about her NOT to like. She was an advocate for this little girl, she NEVER said the mother was guilty, she never made any predictions - contrary to what people are now claiming. She did point out the outlandish lies Casey Anthony (and her mother) told, but she NEVER said she killed her. But I guess the question - who else would have done this? - is enough to get everybody rattled and upset. But it's really a good question, and the answer points to one person only. As a Roman Catholic, I find it hard to accept the death penalty. As an American, I know it is the law, and I respect that. Had the jury found Casey Anthony guilty, there would have been appeals forever. Now she will never tried again unless she happens to kill someone else. I'm not sure I could sleep very well knowing that I freed a woman whom - in my opinion - killed her own child so she could live the "good life." Everybody knew Scott Peterson killed his wife and child though he never confessed and the prosecution had much less to go on than this. I would feel better if she had claimed insanity from the very beginning instead of interrupting the trial to try and do it then. She is clearly insane and I pray that she not only gets help, but that somebody with a bigger and more merciful heart than mine can help her.

LinaSt.Cecilia2772 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I dont believe in the death penalty, but I honestly and truly believe that she is guilty of something. Whether she killed her daughter or not, she did have a part in covering it up. I'm not comfortable at all knowing that a possible murderer will be a free woman soon. What she was convicted guilty of speaks for all of the evidence of her actions. It's just not fair. Caylee Anthony is probably rolling in her grave. Poor child. Just have to pray for all those involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel bad for the child who had her life cut short from a cold-hearted murderer. Justice was not served, and i hate how a murderer is going to be on the loose. Even though i live far from florida, it scares me, and it makes me a heck of a lot more cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
