Casey Anthony: Not Guilty

[EL PRESIDENTE]

It was all circumstantial. internet search for chloroform? seriously?

thats enough to send someone to death?

what else was there. I hear bits and pieces in the news. duct tape. there was supposedly the air particles from a rotting corpse in her car?


I'm just not a firm believer in circumstantial evidence.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The real question is who would you rather do

1. Casey Anthony

2. Nancy Grace

 

[3RA1N1AC]

seriously though, most of the shit is people making their minds without looking at the evidence presented. face it, people don't know shit about it...they see these chickens with their heads cut off on CNN or whatever blab and blab about how she is guilty without proving a case.

its all emotional. people made up their minds based on the reporting of Nancy Grace.

i never saw a single show about it, just reading some of the facts paints a pretty dark picture though.

her defense was that the kid drowned, and that she threw her in the woods? umm ok. then she waits a month to report her missing? umm ok. and then lies to the cops and makes up a story about a kidnapping? umm ok. and she had been out at clubs drinking and partying the whole time? hmmm.

the DA clearly should have gotten a better case together but...

even if that is all true, she needs to be locked up anyways.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

again, no evidence to prove otherwise.

there has to be proof beyond a reasonable doubt, not "hmmmm....this could have happened".

 

[3RA1N1AC]

agreed, its crazy that the DA thought they could win with nothing

havent heard about any of this duct tape, air particulate stuff though

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

for the record, i don't really trust jury trials. i think its a stupid system, especially since by aquitting her, the juror's book deals and appearance fees are going to be worth 4x as much now.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

actually probably 10x more now that I think about it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Had the DA not sought murder 1 then it might have had a better chance. That being said, I felt the evidence was overwhelming against her

 

[3RA1N1AC]

actually probably 10x more now that I think about it.

hmm that is kinda fucked up, but do you think they openly talked about that? all it takes is 1 person to disagree with the other 11

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

perhaps. It had to cross in most of their minds.

think about it....if she's guilty...no focus on the jurors. they maybe get 10k to appear on 20/20. Now they get book deals, interview circuits, 50-100k an appearance, etc.

there was some jury going around with a PR agent already cold calling for apperances @ 50k a pop.

 

[Paxil]

And of course the duct tape over the mouth... which I am sure is high on the list of things you would need to do after an accidental drowning.

I think Jurors are so into CSI type stuff they want cases where there is loads of DNA evidence so they don't have to think for themselves.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

they can't think for themselves. they have to look at the evidence objectively and not jump to conclusions that may or may not be true.

Again, the bar is high to convict. The prosecution failed, not the jury.

[The_Lillard_King]

Just like the OJ case, the prosecution didn't do thier job. This is not a verdict to say she didn't do it, the verdict is the prosecution did not convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt what they are accusing her of.

If you really break down the evidence and give it a hard look (subject to cross examination by the defense), there were a lot of holes in both the OJ trial and this one. Neither prosecution did enough to explain the inconsistencies or explain the reasons for the inadequate police investigation.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

if the prosecutors had a forensic expert saying that there was duct tape on her face, and jury diregarded it...wtf, they fucking BLEW IT

 

[huevonkiller]

Yeah Brain (drexlersdad?), she was guilty as hell. At least manslaughter I would understand.

The way she disrupted the Police Investigation was deserving of multiple felonies, Barry Bonds and Casey Anthony aren't comparable liars.

The case was overwhelming against her the jury doesn't know precedent, many circumstantial cases are easy calls. Watch Dateline or 48 hours Mystery or whatever.

Also this stuff has been on my local news for a while, has little to do with CNN it is just a popular case. People aren't upset because of Nancy Grace.

 

[Mamba]

I'm shocked you're not a Casey Anthony fan, honestly.

Prosecution fucked the case up hardcore.

Casey Anthony already has an offer to do porn from Vivid. Unbelievable how much money this murderer is going to make from this. Some members of the jury are already charging for interviews. Absolutely disgusting.

Well Kobe's still my second favorite player and he was in a rape trial, are you happy? Lol dude.

If I was in that jury I would have carried them to a mistrial.

 

[Mamba]

Lol just takin' a friendly jab, that's all :].

A mistrial would have served more justice than not guilty. Unbelievable is all I can say or think when it comes to talking about the decision. Hopefully this bitch fades out of the limelight ASAP. Just the thought of her making millions off of this is upsetting.

 

[huevonkiller]

Lol it is all good, don't worry I think members should be able to take jabs at me. Vice-versa.

I hope the cops keep track of this idiot.

 

[Mamba]

What is the over/under on months before she is pregnant again? 9?

A jury couldn't resolve this properly, so God and/or Karma will have to do.

On a side note, hilarious backlash towards Kim Kardashian on twitter for bitching about the outcome of this case when her father helped OJ get off.

ROFL

 

[Minstrel]

The interesting thing to me about the porn offer is that it probably plays on people thinking she's guilty. It's not merely that she's famous now...I bet the thinking is "People will want to pay for porn of a minimally attractive murderer."

I have no idea whether she's guilty or not as I haven't been following the case and don't plan to go back and research it, but I'm sure she's "hotter" (in the minds of Vivid Entertainment) because she "probably did it" in the minds of many.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Vivid actually pulled the offer because of public backlash. Even porn pervs think she did it

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Yeah Brain (drexlersdad?), she was guilty as hell. At least manslaughter I would understand.

you can call me flower, if you want to...i dont mind

she got lucky, all the people saying "you need evidence to get convicted" ...lol... NO YOU DONT! not saying that is right, but many people have been put to death with far less "evidence"

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Vivid actually pulled the offer because of public backlash. Even porn pervs think she did it

just another publicity stunt by them. she probably said "yes" and Hirsch didn't want to really pay up.

 

[Nate Dogg]

read up.

CNN: Did the defense earn this verdict? Was prosecution case weak?

Toobin: Both are obviously the case. All that matters is the result. The absence of a cause or time of death must have been very important to the jury.

CNN: What did you think of the motive put forth by the prosecution?

Toobin: The jury did not believe that Casey wanted to party, so she killed her daughter. Her behavior was bizarre, but it was not so crazy that the jury would believe such a heinous theory.

CNN: In light of the facts, or lack of them, was the jury compelled to rule not guilty?

Toobin: Absolutely not. Juries can do what they want.

[Mediocre Man]

Juror #3 said all the jurors were sick to their stomachs when they came up with not guilty, and also said if the prosecution had sought lesser charges that didn't include the death sentence that the verdict might have been different.

What gets me is that she says it wasn't proven it was murder. Wrapped in duct tape? Decomposing odor in the trunk? I mean it was murder. They might not have proved it was Casey Anthony that did it though, but the evidence was extremely pointed at her. Many more people have been charged with crimes with much less evidence.

 

[Nate Dogg]

"The hair was similar to Caylee's, according to forensic experts, but could not be absolutely be proved to be hers." in the trunk.
Even if the child did accidently drown, the adults freaked out and put her in the trunk?
