That dead two year old seemed like pretty real evidence to me. What plausable explanation was there for her death and her mother's behavior?

again..No 100% fool proof evidence could point to Her doing..I dont want anyone thinking I am defending her..I am defending the system

The fact it only took the Jury all of 10 hours showed it was pretty simple..no real evidence means the Prosecution did not prove their case beyond a shadow of a doubt

This is like the Scott Peterson case from a few years ago. Lots of circumstancial evidence, but nothing solid. They just proved that she's a bad mother and a liar. No crime against any of those. All they proved before was that Scott Peterson cheated on his wife. No law against that either. But, it helps being a pretty young caucasian girl.

I think she did it....but "Not Guilty" does not mean she did not...it means they did not prove she did it so she gets off....

OJ did it and we all KNOW he did it but his lawyers got him off....this time the Prosecution had little but smells and a party broad to say she did it....and a daddy that helped her get out of it that told a gf on the side he helped her but he won't get in much trouble either for a child diein

Not devil's advocate EV..Prosecution is supposed to provide REAL evidence, not alot of theories and what could have happen..that is why Prosecuters hate going to trial with nothing but Circumstantial evidence and try not to..the fact is they could not tie down anything concrete to prosecute

I agree. The prosecution did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, although I believe there is a 99% chance she did it.

IMO, this is nothing like the OJ case.

I can't help but to think they rushed it. They should of came in once both barrels were loaded instead coming in with half the evidence. Very frustrating and now she can't be tried again unless some very extrordinary happens, which I wouldn't count on.

They had actual evidence against OJ which was much much stronger than this case. The problem was an LA police dept. that was seen as corrupt and racist. Not many similarities.

every good prosecutor tries a trial considering "jury nullification"....this trial was PERFECT for that consideration.....

if i were the prosecutor, i would have ended with that smiley face on the duct tape plastered all over the room and said something to the effect of "every mother in america is looking at this smiley face knowing who the only person is that could have POSSIBLY put it there, and they will never understand any mother that could let another one walk after this...."

and to the argument they had to follow the law, judges instructions, etc, every person ever in a jury knows that just isnt so, its the ideal model but some juries have brains......which obviously isnt the case for juries from either coast......very sad day, because there will be another baby from her, just watch....

She does not have to prove her innocence so she does not have to testify is she does not want to do so. The burden of proof is on the prosecution. The defense does not have to do anything but sit there. Of course they don't and are very selective about what they do present.

Okay, I didn't follow this thing but I've got to make some comments here.

The person that actually posted that thing above on facebook has to be sick. ***?

Secondly, I'm even more troubled by so many peoples reactions to this than I am the actual verdict. Do these people not realize that guilty people get off every day. The trade off of our system is that it is weighted to the side of guilty folks being found innocent instead of innocent people being found guilty. I think the huge reaction to this is two fold: it shows that people are too wrapped up in television and love living drama through the TV, and it shows that most americans really have a very poor understanding of how our judicial system works.

If you are a moron standing out of the street corner crying over this verdict, you are a sad individual.

I agree it does not always work..but it did in this instance..Juries are not supposed to conivct on emotion or what they think happen.

while i completely understand what ur trying to say, ur thought isnt complete on the subject....the system was set up so that, when the laws became "immoral, indecent, against human compassion" (thomas jeffersons words) that a jury of peers could still be allowed to right wrongs, correct injustices and straighten indecencies, and they are allowed to act within their consciences, even if it goes against the law....the system was put together so that juries COULD go against the law......our founding fathers knew that tyranny by a govt (like the one they came from) was worse than letting some guilty people go free.....

youll never see a jury member convicted of not obeying the courts instructions because disobeying the courts instructions is a constitutional right as a jury member....the system doesnt only work because people "only look for the facts" as u say, it also works when they decide shes guilty when the facts doesnt show it, because the avenue is always open for the defense to have the verdict thrown out on appeal for lack of evidence, it happens almost daily in this country....

if i sat in this jury, knowing the law as i do, i would have convicted her just for the smily face drawn on the duct tape around her mouth, and the 30 days of not reporting her baby gone....i know what the facts are, i would have still done that....and the system is big enough to deal with people like me.......

the sad thing is shes gonna meet with some street justice....shes not gonna be able to stay away from the bars and one night some drunk mom is gonna waste her......very sad ending toa pathetic life mom and dad created......

I don't think that this is true. The system may fail here or there, I understand that. But finding people that are upset with the verdict and mad about what Casey has done to a little girl, and willing to kill her for it, and thinking that the system will then fail for lack of evidence against them will allow them to maintain free status isn't as common as it once was. If that run on sentence made sense???

I could be wrong but, I would think that the Tx Ranger would prolly know that this isn't very likely to occur. That is just a statement for conversation, and to make some people feel better.

I could be wrong, and this could happen, but I will have to say it won't until it does. The odds are I will be right and Tx Ranger will be wrong.

While I still know that this is by far and away the best country in the world, court cases like this give people around the world to poke fun at our judicial system and it's imperfections.

My 2 cents closely follow Michael Berry's. Basically, a jury is not people on your street, or of your church, but are the "people of walmart". You only have to look at the fact that her daughter was missing for 30 days before she let anyone know about it. Who or what type of person would do that? Think that thought over and completely through with all the motives and there is no way you can not have a reasonable doubt that she in some capacity was guilty for the murder.

I could.....but I'm not! I don't feel the need to prove why I feel that way. My life wasn't revolved around this case. I did find it interesting, but I didn't feel the need to go all "vigilante" over the verdict.

Um, okay. Don't you think it's kinda weird to just throw out something like you did and just say 'I could defend my opinion, but I don't want to'?

Not really....I have discussed it here before. I barely even have time to get on this board anymore, and when I do, I don't really want to have to defend my position to anyone. I'm not going to change my mind, so it doesn't really matter.

If you are a moron standing out of the street corner crying over this verdict, you are a sad individual.

while i would defend your right to say whatever you will to people offended by this, you sure are going to have a difficult time obtaining good standing with people your calling out to defend their points while proudly displaying the picture of a fictionalized killer and rapist beside your monichor....most people just arent going to feel a huge need to defend their opposite point of view with someone already showing more of a leaning to the offensive side than most of us parents and guardians....

but again i say, before you get riled up in defense, you have the right to post your pictures and spew your venom, vile as it might be, and ill defend your right to spew it with you.....

I do like to have discussions on the board of significance. I rarely ever get 'riled up' over an internet exchange.

Let me say this, I liked the movie and think the picture is 'cool'. However, your point about me 'proudly displaying a picture of a fictionalized killer and rapist' and equating that to me having an automatic 'propensity to be offensive' shows that you probably have not followed many of my discussions on this board. My characterization of these folks as 'morons' is about as 'offensive' as I get. And I think their behavior that I viewed on the tube, lends credible evidence to that opinion.

And I think if someone looks at my avatar and makes the decision to not defend a quite explosive opinion, IMO, I find that much more odd than someone's avatar pic.

I did word that awkwardly. Let me see if I can clarify.

If someone looks at my avatar pic and that causes them to not want to engage, which is what I got from his implication, I find that odd. Especially, when the position taken was one that is pretty bold, such as 'our judicial system doesn't work'. I don't think asking someone to expound on that bold declaration is confrontational.

I think your avatar is creepy, tell me who it is and what movie it is from so I won't make the mistake of accidently renting it.

its from a 1971 film "a clockwork orange", a stanley kubrick film....it is really a good film on its premise of how the "rehabilitated" criminal mind thinks, but its loaded with really rough scenes and its star is this alex delarge character whose picture he has posted....and yea, of course it doesnt make him a bad guy for posting it, it just shows a leaning when talking about murderers and defending letting one go....but then voltaire the "genius" would have probably had the same blind spot.....lol.......

and yes, if i posted a picture beside my name of, say, jeffrey dahmer, it would speak toward my leanings in life, your correct.....and you would see it and make the same assumptions, as well you should.....

This just shows you didn't read my posts. I actually think she was guilty of at least knowing what happened. And, yes, Voltaire was a genius.

I'm sorry the lady in Oklahoma that mistook an innocent someone else for being Casey Anthony. Tried to ram her to death with her car into the innocent's car. I think Casey Anthony will need to keep her head low, dye her hair, and move far away or she'll get some tribal justice...
