Casey Anthony not guilty? WTF

[GTP_Rcrcool9]

I found the verdict a total lie and that should have been guilty.

 

[Coxis]

That was basically my reaction. WTF.

The amount of evidence against her was overwhelming, she lied to everyone repeatedly and the jury still found her not guilty? Not to mention the heart stickers, stench of her car trunk and the duct tape...

That poor little girl really deserves some justice.

 

[GTP_Rcrcool9]

EXACTLY! My facebook news feed literally blew up in anger!

 

[Cowboys965]

I saw some parts of the trial but she was innocent?

 

[Coxis]

Yes.

 

[Lain]

Pathetic. She deserves to be sterilized at the very least.

 

[Brend]

Outrageous.

 

[rocko100]

It kinda makes me scared

 

[Bobert power]

My reaction was WTF what are the judges thinking.

Being a liar does not make you a murderer.

Not to mention the heart stickers, stench of her car trunk and the duct tape...

Those things don't prove murder either.

That poor little girl really deserves some justice.

I agree, she'll be sentenced later this week. She could (but probably won't) get another decade or more in prison for lying to the police.

When will we be done with these stupid gossip trials? Thank you Nancy Grace, ET, Access Hollywood, and the rest of the stupid gossip shows for making this national news and distracting people from real issues.

Thought this was a lock notice for a minute.

The worst part is that she can't be tried again. :/

Reminds me of the Emmet Till case...

No, the jury just can't say without a reasonable doubt that she is guilty. Being aquitted of a charge does not equal innocence.

I wasn't present at the trial, or any of the alleged events in question, so I'm not going to try and form an opinion about this woman I don't know. I really wish people in the media would do the same.

 

[Dapper]

It was?

Yes, that is why so many are saying "WTF" (not me, though).

It sort of reminds me of the opposite of the "To Kill a Mockingbird" trial

 

[Villain]

No it wasn't. If it were overwhelming then she would've been convicted. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" is a very serious phrase. The state did not only fail to provide cause of death, they didn't even suppy a motive which was clear and obvious. To say that someone killed their own child "because they wanted to party more" is a very serious allegation and they did not do a decent job backing that up.

I'm not saying that I thought she was innocent, but I think the jury provided an appropriate decision with the evidence they were given (which wasn't much).

 

[Dapper]

No it wasn't. If it were overwhelming then she would've been convicted.

Yes, it was, that is why the state charged her accodingly, and why the public convicted her before her trial. Without the defense that Jose came up with she was going to jail for first degree murder.

I'm not saying that I thought she was innocent, but I think the jury provided an appropriate decision with the evidence they were given (which wasn't much).

Yulp. Because the defense was just enough better than the evidence.

Matter of fact is no one can prove the girl didn't get drowned, that doesn't mean the evidence wasn't overwhelmingly against the mom before that theory was brought up.

No, I'm just keeping it real. I don't really care about Casey Anthony. If she were "mah baby-momma" and I knew she murdered my baby, she wouldn't have made it to 2009. I'm just tired of how huge all of this stuff gets. It's nobody's business. She's not even famous like OJ was... how did this get so big?

 

[Coxis]

Fair enough with the gossip trial thing, but she might have killed a little girl. If that isn't a real issue then what is?

Imagine if you could talk to the toddler, would she think it isn't a real issue? Her life was taken from her at age 2.

 

[Villain]

I don't buy that for a second.

I'm glad you admitted that (even though it kinda throws your "overwhelming evidence" out the window). A conviction of first-degree murder without being able to provide cause of death or a clear motive is just not going to happen.

Outside the courthouse here in Orlando today, people came out in droves to sit outside. Surprisingly, when the verdict was read, people just kind of stayed silent. I was really afraid that people were going to start protesting. people just really started leaving in droves eventually. As well, many people, police, helicopters, news vans, media, etc, were litereally on her house's street.

I have no idea how the hell this got so big. A lot of local radio DJs say it has everything to do with the fact that the case deals with a cute white girl gone missing, and that Casey herself is pretty. Things like this happen all the time around the country, and the world, and they don't break out into the news anywhere near this magnitude. In orlando, this is whats been dominating the news and media ever since 2008.

Also, it was just entertainment. The lies, and the cover ups, and the drama involved was just too juicy. It was said today that before TV, movies, radio, etc, people had things like this for entertainment. So it seems only natural that people became SO emeotionally involved in this.

 

[F1 fan]

What the hell? I hadn't heard of this before reading it here. So if she's not guilty, do they have other leads/suspects or are they just going to sweep the death of a child under the carpet?

Her actions just seem so erratic. I don't know what to think of this.

 

[Villain]

I have no idea how the hell this got so big.

It was the very public search organized by Casey's parents coupled with the pictures they found of her partying while Caylee was "missing".

 

[Dapper]

I'm glad you admitted that (even though it kinda throws your "overwhelming evidence" out the window). A conviction of first-degree murder without being able to provide cause of death or a clear motive is just not going to happen.

A first degree murder conviction NEVER needs a motive, or cause of death for that matter... in fact there doesn't even need to be a body. She got off because of her defense.

 

[Villain]

You just admitted reasonable doubt yourself so I don't know why you keep beating that drum. Oh well.

 

[Joel]

To me, this is how the justice system is supposed to work. It stuck to what it's supposed to do, and that is give everyone a fair trial, no matter what the media thinks of them. The prosecutors couldn't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she did it, so she is innocent. I don't see why the justice system working as it should is a huge public outcry.

 

[Crispy]

Personally I agree with Villian.

The Prosecution didn't have enough proof. If your going to sentence someone to the death penalty, you better be damned sure they did it. Now, the lying to the police thing, that is a little suspicious. Just because she lied doesn't mean she murdered the child though.

If you think back to Jaycee Dugard. Everyone thought the dad killed her. His story was that she was riding her bike, when a van came by and snatched her up. He chased after the van. Now he couldn't provide Make, Model, License Plate Number, only color. Now, that sounds pretty fake. Wouldn't you think he murdered her? Well, she turns up 18 years later, he told the truth.

Now Caylee is dead, no doubt about that. And I personally think Casey did it, she was tired of being a mom. But just because someone thinks that, doesn't mean its true. If she did it, the proof points towards her using the chlorophorm to knock her out so she wouldn't suffer, meaning she isn't a monster, and she is human.

Now what if she didn't kill her? Yes she wanted to go party, and she wasn't exactly the most sane person, so she went out and partied, thinking, well I'll go look for her tomorrow. Say then they did find her guilty, well what if the real killer turns up. Would you be comfortable knowing you killed an innocent person? I'd feel much better thinking I saved a guilty person, than killed an innocent one. Its not like she's going to go out and kill a thousand more people, I mean, she's not Dexter!

Its sad that Caylee is dead, but the real only evidence they had was her lying and the reasonable doubt. And all these death threats that Jose is getting is just silly. He did his job, now stop writing death letters and get on with yours! He put up a good case, and you should have seen him at the press conference. He said "I will be able to go home and tell my little girl, that I saved a life today." I feel the prosecution didn't do a very good job, they felt like they had it in the bag. And that crap with Ashton snikering, that was just un-called for.

On another note, Ashton has resigned. I hope the DA didn't push him into it.

Zoolander strikes again.

 

[alexleighton]

Nvm

 

[Coxis]

Oh well, we'll have to see how many years she gets. I heard the minimum sentence is like one year per count, and she could get a sentence of time served reducing her time left in the joint.
