Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
Posted by jaclyn78
I would never put myself in a position like CA where I would be convicted of a crime. I would call if my beautiful children went missing, I certainly wouldn't get a tattoo that screams guilty, I certainly wouldn't lie to law enforcement on several different occasions, I would call every person begging for help the second I couldn't find them, I wouldn't be hitting the clubs, I wouldn't have the smell of chloroform in my car, and I certainly would never have duct taped my children's mouths with duct tape found in my garage. God forbid this ever happened to a loved one of yours, I guarantee you would want half of us on your side of the jury.
Just a side note, I would also be jumping on the stand to testify to prove my innocence. I would have nothing at all to hide.
see but thats what you would do, i would and thats what most people would do. But when you are on a jury that doesnt matter what you would do. All that matter is what the law says and what the prosecution can proof.
Again the JURY felt that they did not proof what they charged her with.
If you want to be mad at someone then maybe be mad at the prosectution for not charging her with something the jury felt they can convict on based on the law. Be mad at law makers for not having more laws to cover what she did do.
As for how i would feel if something that happen to one of my love ones i wont even comment on. I do know i would be way to emotional to think what is right and what wrong.
My point is if i was on charge for something esp. if I didnt do it (cause plenty of people do get charged with a crime they didnt actually commint)i wouldnt want a jury full of emotions deciding my faith i want a jury that will based the verdict soley on the evidence presented.

Maybe the state should have brought up other charges such as child neglect. Not sure if they can do this now.
Honestly everyone is entitled to their own opinion and IMO there was more than enough circumstantial evidence to convict her.
I understand in this day and age that we are all used to high tech stuff like DNA samples and surveillance videos but honestly...does anyone need a picture to be drawn out about what happened? Plenty of criminals were tried 20, 30 years ago way before DNA, surveiillance tapes and all those other fancy things existed. What did we do then?
Bottom line the little girl is left in the care of her own mother, the last person to see her alive. All of a sudden poof she is gone. The mother lies and lies then Caylee is found dead, decomposed in a swamp with a laundry bag from her own home, duct tape from her own house and her own blanket. Mothers car smells of decomposition...mother lies and lies ot her own family about what happened and to police. Come on it's common sense....circumstantial evidence aplenty.
I have a question. What if the same exact circumstances happened but with nanny. What if Casey was really a good mother and left Caylee with a nanny and the same exact circumstances happened. Caylee went missing and her mother is searching for her. The nanny is the last one to see her alive and she lies and said someone kidnapped her then we find out there is a decomposing smell in the nanny's car, body found with items from Nannys home and then the Nannys defense team said it was an accident.
Do you think the nanny would have been acquitted too?
Honestly if GOD forbid anything happened to one of my friends or family members I would hope to GOD I would get a jury with a lot more common sense than the one on this trial.
Unfortunately poor Caylee never had a chance...her mother and her entire family has issues. I guess we can go round and round arguing this point but the bottom line is what's done is done. The only thing we can do now is pray for that little girl and hope that some other monster doesn't commit the same crime AND if they do there is some law in place and justice is served.
Well Said!! I agree with everything.

It's sad how this thread was drama free all 40 days of the trial, but now after the verdict there is nonsense on this board. I also think it is very rude that we can't state our opinions without certain others getting upset that no one thinks like them, even though they have not been commenting in the past.
ITA.  The original posters were able to be peaceful about their opinions, now some attention seekers need to come and try to ruffle feathers. What is the point?
Obviously nobody can change the ruling but that doesn't negate the emotions that some people are feeling about the injustice of it all. I think you guys need to find another thread to cause drama on.
i am not sure how this thread is causing drama. 
People were stating that they were mad and upset at the verdict and they dont get how the jury came to it.
So people who may understand why the jury decdied they way they did by explaing what the jury had to go by is causing drama.
everyone should be able state there opninon no matter what is; that doesnt mean its causing drama. I think its called a debate

It was drama free because there was no verdict and everyone was just discussing what was going on each day.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
Everyone seems to be posting their opinions on here, so I will post mine as well.
For everyone who says the jury got it wrong, says that they are stupid people, says that they can't comprehend how they didn't convict her, says that the jury should have taken more time to look at the evidence....I personally think that those feelings should be directed more towards our judicial system.
Those jurors took the evidence, applied the charges, and came to the decision that there was not enough evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to convict her on the charges she was brought up on.
The anger should be towards her not being brought up on charges that could have been proven. If so many people are infuriated about the system... what are you going to do to change it?
To those who talk about Scott Peterson who has been found guilty with circumstantial evidence, think of some of the facts in that case. He was found with bleached hair, a goatee to disguise himself, $15,000 in cash, 4 cell phones, credit cards belonging to other family members, camping equipment, a dozen pairs of shoes, several changes of clothes, and more. I suppose that made it appear to jurors that he was getting ready to flee the country and on top of all the other evidence they were able to find him guilty.
I do believe everyone has a right to their own opinion. But I also agree with one of the PP who said that a lot of the people who are angered by the verdict are using emotion in that feeling. And honestly, I would not want someone deciding my fate based on emotion... I would want them to use the facts and the law.
I think the jury did what they legally could do. I think they were all sickened by the fact that they had to find her not guilty. I cannot fault them for that.

I agree with DB as well. the issue here was the charges that were levied against he and IMO the prosecution did a poor job of deciding what those charges would be. They knew from the beginning that they had little to no real evidence of "blood" on Casey Anthony's hands.
I watched Barbara Walters' interview wtih Jose Baez on Wed night and she asked him if he thought the State would've had a better chance of conviction if they had gone for lesser charges. He said, absolutely.

I'm quoting some of your post that I agree with...I think the state did a good job with what they had BUT I do also think they got a little ahead of themselves. Hindsight is 20/20 and yes they probably should have brought some lesser charges against her. I'm assuming they can't now which is a damn shame but what's done is done.
As far as Scott Peterson remember he was older, more established so he had $$ to flee. I absolutely bet that if Casey had the money she would have gotten the hellll up out of FL. But remember she had nothing...without her family to support her and friends to steal from where would she be?

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
The problem i had with the verdict was when I heard one of the jurors provide an explanation for the verdict. She claimed that she had to follow the judge's instructions and the law but then said that one of the main reasons she found her not guilty is that she could not sentence her death. Clearly, she thought about punishment/sentencing. Jurors are clearly told they are not supposed to do that. The death penalty should not have been a factor in their deliberations. Fine, reasonable doubt is reasonable doubt, but whether or noth there was the death penalty on the table should have not played any part in their decision.

I think that there were such strong feelings of hatred towards this woman that the state wanted to go for the death penalty. And in order to have the death penalty on the table, they had to go for the highest charges. I agree that they are probably kicking themselves for that decision now.
And unfortunately we will never know what CA would have done if she had more money.
All I know is that at the end of the day a beautiful little girl is gone and I just pray that she rests in peace.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
The problem is with the judicial system (not the jurors specifically), but unfortunately, there is no perfect solution. The system was set up so innocent people would not go to jail/die for crimes they didn't commit. The prosecution has to prove they did it while the defense only has to prove they might not have. If the system were different, CA would probably be in jail and possibly on death row, but that also means there would also be many innocent people also in that situation. There are already plenty of innocent people who have spent their lives behind bars (or in death) so our system may let CA go but gives many other people life. It sucks because I believe CA is guilty but based on the law she has to go free. I only hope that in exchange for her freedom, the law has also saved exponentially more people from facing a punishment they did not deserve.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
in all honesty, I don't want this becoming a big thing because I truly enjoyed this thread but when a group of people go on and on for all this time giving thoughts and opinions (all of which I respect regardless of whether they are in agreeance with mine or not) and then now having all these other people, that didn't contribute throughout, are now coming on and expressing their opinions (which is fine and I love reading other people's perspectives and expertise) but in a way that it comes off holier than though, it just rubs me the wrong way and comes off as condescending..
This wasn't a thread where people claimed to be experts.. we were all emotionally invested in this case and we were just venting..
Perhaps I took it the wrong way and if I did, I apologize..

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
Not sure whether anyone talked about this but there is a website that has transcripts of all the interviews with witnesses. There was alot I never knew. For example, there was an officer who was assigned to assist in the investigation and it was revealed that he knew her and had sex with her twice (prior to the disappearance) while she was dating another guy - never used protection. Told him she was a party planner. Crazy stuff.

yes!!
I think that's why people are also outraged because alot of this info WE had access to and knew about and yet the prosecution didn't/couldn't use and it's almost like WT EFF!

To those who talk about Scott Peterson who has been found guilty with circumstantial evidence, think of some of the facts in that case. He was found with bleached hair, a goatee to disguise himself, $15,000 in cash, 4 cell phones, credit cards belonging to other family members, camping equipment, a dozen pairs of shoes, several changes of clothes, and more. I suppose that made it appear to jurors that he was getting ready to flee the country and on top of all the other evidence they were able to find him guilty.
Ok so you m ention this, but if these jurors could find Scott Peterson guilty with these things, why not Casey Anthony? B/c her defense attorney confused everyone by throwing her father into the mix, etc? Or b/c they really could not fathom a mom would do this to her child? But a man, a husband, Scott Peterson could do this to his wife and child?
That's why yes, I do believe this jury had poor reasoning skills. I truly do.

I'm sorry, but you are being so incredibly condescending toward people who don't agree with you I find it upsetting. People are being emotional about the verdict, but this is after most of them came to a conclusion on the evidence without all this raw emotion involved. People are upset because they feel a monster has been let off the hook when all the evidence was there to convict her. I know that I watched the same news feed that everyone else did, and without watching all these opinions shows I came to the conclusion that Casey was GUILTY beyond any reasonable doubt.If you know how to reasonably connect all the evidence together, I think you'd come to the same conclusion. But I think you are just arguing for the sake of arguing.
The fact is, many MANY time cases are completely circumstantial, and it still leads to the defendant being convicted of first degree murder. In some cases, they don't even have a body! Yet the CIRCUMSTANCES surrounding a death can point directly toward it being a homicide. Scott Peterson is sitting on death row because of a circumstantial case. Do you think he should have been found innocent? The jury members in Casey's case were looking for a standard that is not required, they have stated that they had SOME doubts. Reasonable doubt is classified by not being able to explain the outcome in any other reasonable manner that a reasonable person would agree to. I think after tallying all the evidence a reasonable person would see that a murder took place, and that murderer was Casey Anthony.
I agree, word for word.

Maybe the state should have brought up other charges such as child neglect. Not sure if they can do this now.
Honestly everyone is entitled to their own opinion and IMO there was more than enough circumstantial evidence to convict her.
I understand in this day and age that we are all used to high tech stuff like DNA samples and surveillance videos but honestly...does anyone need a picture to be drawn out about what happened? Plenty of criminals were tried 20, 30 years ago way before DNA, surveiillance tapes and all those other fancy things existed. What did we do then?
Bottom line the little girl is left in the care of her own mother, the last person to see her alive. All of a sudden poof she is gone. The mother lies and lies then Caylee is found dead, decomposed in a swamp with a laundry bag from her own home, duct tape from her own house and her own blanket. Mothers car smells of decomposition...mother lies and lies ot her own family about what happened and to police. Come on it's common sense....circumstantial evidence aplenty.
I have a question. What if the same exact circumstances happened but with nanny. What if Casey was really a good mother and left Caylee with a nanny and the same exact circumstances happened. Caylee went missing and her mother is searching for her. The nanny is the last one to see her alive and she lies and said someone kidnapped her then we find out there is a decomposing smell in the nanny's car, body found with items from Nannys home and then the Nannys defense team said it was an accident.
Do you think the nanny would have been acquitted too?
Honestly if GOD forbid anything happened to one of my friends or family members I would hope to GOD I would get a jury with a lot more common sense than the one on this trial.
Unfortunately poor Caylee never had a chance...her mother and her entire family has issues. I guess we can go round and round arguing this point but the bottom line is what's done is done. The only thing we can do now is pray for that little girl and hope that some other monster doesn't commit the same crime AND if they do there is some law in place and justice is served.
