that really annoys me. it was 6-6... and then all switched their minds?? Either they had persistent jurors forcing them to change their vote or really just didn't care at that point and wanted to go home... I'm sorry that is strange to me that everyone was strongly half-half and then it seemed like by around lunch everyone was switching around.... it makes me sick. I'm glad they are haunted by those images. they should be! they let her murderer go free.
And that's without looking again at a SINGLE piece of evidnce or asking ANY questions.
Truly disgraceful.
IMO none of us should be judging what happened in that deliberation room. We do not know what happened in there, we don't know what was discussed. Haven't you ever changed your mind about something after talking it over with someone else? It is entirely possible that the people who leaned towards guilty were persuaded by the not guilty side because they talked about the fact that there was no evidence and that they couldn't convict her based on opinion or emotion.
I absolutely think CA had something to do with the whole thing. But I can't fault the jurors for doing their job or be disgusted with them because I was not in that room. And to say you are glad they are haunted by the images is just not nice IMO.

But again.... "We didn't know how she died, we didn't know when she died," the juror said of Caylee. "Technically, we didn't even know where she died."
They could not convict her according to the law. This was not a "how I feel" conviction or "what picture I saw" conviction. That is not the law.
(I am not saying she is innocent but totally see why these jurors did what they did).

I agree... its easy to make assumptions when none of us were there... and very presumptious to assume that we would do anything different if we were in their place..

YES, YES, YES
I understand why people are upset but they did their job. There was no hard evidence to say how that child died or who did it.
We all have our theories and I am sure most of them are correct but they could not use a theory in making their decision.

Exactly...way too quick for 6 jurors to change their mind without at the very least examining more evidence. I agtree that IMO they all wanted to get the helll out of there. Do I blame them for wanting to go home to their families? No but at the same time they knew this was going to be a MAJOR case. Take some time to carefully review the evidence before making a decision.

I definitely get that for the first degree and MAYBE even for the manslaughter though I would have voted yes to that...but the child neglect/abuse? That was pretty obvious. She didn't call 911 to try to save her child from "drowning" in the pool...she didn't even call a neighbor for help. If Caylee did drown in the pool was she alone? Was Casey out and about? Did she encourage her too...why not call 911 to try to save your kids life if you are there. Assuming you are there with your child and watching them how long was she left alone if she drowned or if it was an accident? It's just common sense.
That's neglect. Caylee was 2 years old...not 10 or 11. Definitely not capable of watching herself. NEGLECT...whether or not it was an accident. How could the jurors not see that?

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
What I want to know is...how did she get away with this. There have been lots of other killers in history with elaborate schemes and plans and is it really just as easy as this...kill someone put them in your trunk for a while, then dump them off at the nearest swamp and party, party, party!? And then refuse to testify.
How can this be right? I think that in a case such as this she should have been MADE to take the stand. Because we ALL know she is a liar and the more you get a liar talking the easier it is to spot the lies, and there goes your reasonable doubt.
ETA: Even if it WAS drowning, if you have nothing to hide, why hide? Who thinks...OMG child just drowned in the pool...better go get the duck tape and clean out the trunk...she's gonna be in there awhile??? I mean REALLY? W-T-F?

ITA with you and have said this from the beginning that she SHOULD have gotten child abuse charges because of that. Even though they couldn't tell how she died or if she was even murdered, they DID know that she did not report her missing.

The defense did not WANT her on the stand because she WOULD have blown it. Now they are saying she could say she did it and there is no way she will go back to jail or be convicted because of double jeopardy.

I know I've been following it the whole time, as has Nancy Grace and other news reports. It is the fact that Caylee is served No Justice that has brought alot of public opinion, outrage, and sympathy.

In a case like this where there were obvious lies told before hand, the judge should be allowed to call the defendant to the stand for clarification. Or something along those lines. Unfortunately this case is going to be used as a precedent for future cases but NOT in a good way.

Not reporting your child missing is illegal, but leaving her alone at home is considered child abandonment/abuse and IS considered illegal. If they didn't know where she was and she was 2 years old...where did they think she was, and who was she with? For 31 days...that is gross negligence...excuse my ignorance but did she EVER explain the reason for the 31 day delay?

Oh, I agree but when it hit and there were a ton of things on facebook and messageboards, it made me mad because most of these people had NO clue about the story and just felt she should have been convicted. They also didn't listen to WHY she didn't get convicted.

Did she encourage her too...why not call 911 to try to save your kids life.
That's neglect. Caylee was 2 years old...not 10 or 11. Definitely not capable of watching herself. NEGLECT...whether or not it was an accident. How could the jurors not see that?
ITA with you and have said this from the beginning that she SHOULD have gotten child abuse charges because of that. Even though they couldn't tell how she died or if she was even murdered, they DID know that she did not report her missing.
I think its because not reporting her missing isnt illegal...
Not reporting your child missing is illegal, but leaving her alone at home is considered child abandonment/abuse and IS considered illegal. If they didn't know where she was and she was 2 years old...where did they think she was, and who was she with? For 31 days...that is gross negligence...excuse my ignorance but did she EVER explain the reason for the 31 day delay?
Originally she said the nanny had her. So I guess that wouldn't be considered "missing".

I get that...but I think she should have been MADE to testify. If taking the stand means incriminating yourself then you are guilty, and you shouldn't be found innocent. In a case like this where there were obvious lies told before hand, the judge should be allowed to call the defendant to the stand for clarification. Or something along those lines. Unfortunately this case is going to be used as a precedent for future cases but NOT in a good way.
All she would have done was plead the fifth...
True...but that amendment is SOOOOO aggravating. There is no real justice...its all a farce.

I definitely get that for the first degree and MAYBE even for the manslaughter though I would have voted yes to that...but the child neglect/abuse? That was pretty obvious. She didn't call 911 to try to save her child from "drowning" in the pool...she didn't even call a neighbor for help. If Caylee did drown in the pool was she alone? Was Casey out and about? Did she encourage her too...why not call 911 to try to save your kids life.

you are not understanding..
Caylee was DEAD already.. there was no child to report missing...
They don't know WHEN she died though. There was no evidence of that.
