Thoughts?
Been hearing the OJ Simpson comparisons on the radio, but I really don't like to second guess a jury who actually heard all of the evidence, etc.
-
I watched every bit of the trial I could... I think she knows something, but I'm not sure what.
The prosecution didn't make any compelling argument that she murdered or had anything to do with any foul play in regards to the death of her child.
I do think she knows more than she's letting on, but there's just no evidence connecting her to the wrong doing.
Considering she's been in jail for 3 years awaiting trial, I'd say that she's pretty much got what I would expect her to receive.
-
My wife and one of my kids were obsessed with this trial. I watched a good portion (not by choice), including the closing arguments. I think they reached the correct result. Dr. Michael Baden was all over TV talking about how they didn't establish a cause of death. He said there was just as much a likelihood that the kid drowned as there was that she was murdered. They really couldn't link up the kid's death with anything the mom did.
That is one screwed up family. :-\
No comparison to the OJ case IMO. OJ was guilty as sin. At least with this woman, there is some question whether she killed her kid, or the kid drowned, etc.
Was justice served? Who knows? She has been in prison for three years and will likely serve another year or so. We'll probably never know what really happened. Unless she sells her story for a lot of cash. And even then, she's a liar, so who knows if she will tell the truth.
-
From what I looked at, the DA royally screwed this up by over charging the defendant and not have at least a plausible theory of the case.
From what I could tell, would have aquitted to, even though I think something terrible happened.
-
I didn't watch one second of it but if the prosecution couldn't make the case then that's the way it goes
-
stench of death in trunk, 84 web searches for chloroform... doesn't report her missing kid for a month?
She deserves some serious prison time for that alone.

certainly looks bad but I wasn't aware any of the first two are crimes
not reporting the kid missing would seem like a form of child abuse or endangerment but wasn't she aquitted of that too
btw - I haven't followed this story at all but I assume the jury had more info than anyone else
-
I think she did it but the prosecution presented a horrendous case and we ended up with that verdict. Hopefully she'll get her comeuppance down the road.
-
She needs to have her genitals removed with a can opener. And anyone who actually believes she's innocent can get in line to be next. -EK
-
We have a legal system requiring the govt to prove its case.
-
And guess what? Now the millions of dollars for her book deal and tv story.
Kill your kid, make a fortune. Wait for all the copycats.

Interview with one of the alternate jurors. http://video.foxnews.com/v/1039370051001/alternate-juror-casey-anthony-jury-made-right-decision
He's right: they didn't establish cause of death. Her father did sound like he was hiding something. And the witnesses who testified about her parenting said she was a good mom. (Although she wasn't so good at the end.)

define "good mom" in today's society...
Will she be looking for the real killer?

The witnesses said she loved her kid and took care of her. She wasn't the ideal role model, but nobody who testified said she was a bad mom.
She's not OJ and doesn't need to look for the real killer, because she said the kid accidentally drowned. Not sure if that's true, but it does eliminate the need to search for a killer.
-
sorry....
stench of corpse in trunk...
84 web searches for chlorophyll..
doesn't call police for THIRTY DAYS when her kid is missing?
Then lies about it, making up people who stole her? Sorry, this bitch is guilty. Anyone who believes otherwise is a stone cold moron.

She probably is, but probably is not good enough for capital murder and the death penalty.

looks very bad but clearly the jury didn't think the prosecution proved her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt
that's just the way it goes sometimes
plenty of innocent people in jail as well as guilty people walking the street
if this chick is the scumbag she appears to be the odds are likely she'll wind up in jail at some point for something else
-
manslaughter was an option.
Did the DA charge that?
-
Did the DA charge that?
yeah, that was the second charge I think. Everyone figured there'd be no felony murder, but the manslaughter charge would fly.
-
manslaughter was an option.
How so?
They couldnt prove she killed her much less prove it was pre meditated.
-
Too many holes and not enough concrete evidence.
Any decent attorney can shred this case and from what I was told, (haven't verified it) that was her defense lawyers first murder trial.

Wouldn't surprise me if he took it for free for the publicity. I'm wondering where she'll go now that she fucked over her parents.
-
I havent really followed this case much, so Im not going to comment much, but I will just say that I think there are too many people who have too broad of a definition of the term "reasonable doubt".
-
Problem was that the da did not even really present a thoery of the crime and left it up too to too much speculation.
Sad as it is too, it shows that keeping your mouth shut and not saying a damn thing pays off.

Casey Anthony's lawyer admits she killed daughter Caylee, investigator says
Published May 25, 2016
FoxNews.com
More than five years after a jury in Florida cleared Casey Anthony in the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, a private investigator claimed the mom's attorney admitted she killed the girl and hid her body.
Dominic Casey made the claim in court documents that went public last month in Casey Anthony's bankruptcy case. He also suggested that the mom paid her lawyer with sex.
The investigator claimed attorney Jose Baez hired him days after police arrested the mom in July 2008. He said, "Baez had told me that Casey had murdered Caylee and dumped the body somewhere and, he needed all the help he could get to find the body before anyone else did."
Meter reader Roy Kronk found the girl's body in the woods near her grandparents' home that December. Dominic Casey also said that before the remains were discovered, Casey Anthony allowed her legal team to try framing Kronk, "to portray him as a murderer and or kidnapper of Caylee Anthony."
The investigator said he quit the legal team in October 2008.
Casey Anthony was convicted of lying to police but acquitted of murder. She filed for bankruptcy in 2013.
Dominic Casey claimed, in addition, that the defendant and her attorney were having sex because she couldn't pay him. "I arrived at Baez’s office unexpectedly one day and once again, witnessed a naked Casey. This time she ran from his private office, through the conference room to the hallway. That night I told her that she cannot allow him to continue engaging in this behavior. Casey told me she had to do what Jose said because she had no money for her defense."
There was no immediate response from Baez or the Anthony family.

Casey Anthony's former attorney calls investigator 'moron' over sex accusations
Published May 31, 2016
FoxNews.com
Casey Anthony's former attorney, Jose Baez, lashed out at accusations that he had sex with his client before her murder trial, telling Fox News on Tuesday the investigator who made the claim was "a complete and total moron."
Dominic Casey, who worked for the Orlando-area mom's legal team in 2008 after the disappearance of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, claimed in court documents that Baez had sex with Casey Anthony in exchange for payment. The investigator also said Baez told him the mom killed her daughter and dumped the body.
In his first TV interview since the accusations surfaced, Baez told Fox & Friends that Dominic Casey's new claims flew in the face of his sworn deposition in the case. "He'd better pray to the god of punk wannabe private eyes that some U.S. attorney in Tampa does not see these transcripts and decides to charge him with perjury."
Baez confirmed that he planned to seek legal action against the investigator, but would not elaborate. He also said Dominic Casey previously claimed the drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman helped pay the defense team.
"One, 'El Chapo' did not finance Casey Anthony’s defense. Two, I did not have an inappropriate relationship with Casey. Three, drug traffickers did not kidnap Caylee and take her to Colombia. Four, she never told me that she murdered her child and where the body was. And five, the post office is not involved in Caylee Anthony's disappearance," Baez said.
In the new court papers, Dominic Casey claimed, "I arrived at Baez’s office unexpectedly one day and once again, witnessed a naked Casey. This time she ran from his private office, through the conference room to the hallway. That night I told her that she cannot allow him to continue engaging in this behavior. Casey told me she had to do what Jose said because she had no money for her defense."
The attorney said it obviously was a mistake on his part to hire Dominic Casey in the first place. "I took a chance on him, and unfortunatey I'm paying for it today."
He said the investigator worked for free for three years, first for the legal team and then separately for the Anthony family.
Caylee Anthony's remains surfaced in December 2008. A jury found Casey Anthony guilty of lying in July 2011 but acquitted her of murder.

I think everyone knew she was guilty as hell to start with.
Her story was less believable than the "strange intruder" story that Jon Benet (sp?) parents told.

Judge in Casey Anthony trial says she may have killed daughter by accident
Published March 01, 2017
FoxNews.com
The judge who presided over the murder trial of Casey Anthony now says in a published interview he believes she may have killed her daughter by accident.
Belvin Perry Jr., who retired as a judge and joined a private law firm in 2014, told The Orlando Sentinel Wednesday that Anthony may have tried to quiet her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony with chloroform and possibly used too much.
Prosecutors said she murdered the toddler and hid her body in the woods outside Orlando for a utility worker to find in December 2008. Defense attorneys said Caylee Anthony drowned in the family's swimming pool.
Casey Anthony has laid low in the years since the jury acquitted her in 2011.
The former judge said he did not find any fault in the verdict, but evidence presented during the trial showed Anthony searched online how to use chloroform as a sedative.
“There was a possibility that she may have utilized that to keep the baby quiet ... and just used too much of it, and the baby died,” Perry told the Orlando Sentinel.
While Perry said surgeons used to use chloroform as an anesthetic, he added that was one of several theories about what happed to the toddler.
“As I’ve expressed, the only person that really knows what happened was Casey,” Perry said.
Last year, sources close to Anthony told People magazine she getting "bored," and was having trouble holding down a job.
