Casey Anthony trial- Not guilty

[Leon]

Casey Anthony trial- Not guilty- Put that one right next to the OJ trial. Absurd....I guess there was enough doubt that what she probably did couldn't stick in court. A real shame.

A real shame... Her life is over IMO. People wont forget this. Where will she live? Where will she work??? Can you imagine her even just trying to apply for an apartment? She's done.

I hope Casey goes missing and her skeletal remains are found in a swamp six months later with duct tape on her mouth.

Totally disagree with you guys, they had no concrete evidence, barely any motive. Some pix of a hot body contest at a club? cmon. Thats what makes this country so great, folks died to protect our right to a fair trial; a person must be proven guilty, not just assumed guilty. I think the $ from her book/movie/tv deals will be more than enough to support her...

Coming soon to your local bookstore...

"Casey Anthony: If I Did It"


I fear a Playboy spread it also in the works.

Her daughter goes missing (or drowned, depending on what story you want to believe) and she doesn't report it for over a month?

Instead of reporting the disappearance (or drowning) to the authorities, she's out partying and enters a "hard body contest" 4 days after Caylee was last seen alive. Whichever story you want to believe, is that a typical grieving mother's reaction?

When she is finally questioned by the authorities, she lies to mislead them. Why lie if you have nothing to hide?

If her daughter really drowned as she suggested, why put duct tape over a dead body?

No, there wasn't a video tape proof of her killing her daughter, but there was enough circumstantial evidence that any reasonable person can connect the dots and she should have been convicted.

Edited to add: There have been plenty of convictions in high profile murder cases based solely on circumstantial evidence. Look at the Scott Peterson case. Where was the "concrete evidence" there? There was none. What was the cause of death? The medical examiner could not determine one based on decomposition. What was the motive? We can only speculate. All this sound familar? Yet he was convicted and sentenced to death. So your "they had no concrete evidence, barely any motive" doesn't mean anything.

Must not have been any "reasonable people who can connect the dots" on that jury, doggone juries. All those pictures from the club should have been more than enough to put her to death.

This quote here is the reality of it. The prosecution screwed up by charging her with murder as soon as they found the poor girls remains.....but their case was not solid.

The reality of this mistake is that there is no statute of limitations on murder, so they had all of the time in the world to gather more evidence before charging her with murder. Now, they (the prosecution) are SOL. If she did do it, she can literally admit it and nothing can be done to her.

At the very least, I think there was enough evidence to charge her with child neglect/endangerment for not reporting her daughter missing for a month.

My mom watched this trial daily, and kept me posted, but after the opening presentation from both sides I had enough........the mainstream media was shoving this down our throats and ignoring other major things in this country and the world that, to me at least, they should be spending more time covering and paying attention to. Dumbed down on every news channel by the "Casey Anthony Trial".....

IMO the prosecutors blew it, wasted a bunch of tax payers $$ trying this case with more speculation than fact.

I do not feel she should be able to profit from this, but she probably will.
