not entirely sure what aggravated manslaughter is, but based on what manslaughter is, doubt she is guilty of that either.
Involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide, more likely as to what happened, but they didn't try her for those crimes.
there was no violation of common sense. You are soo damn correct.. Im so disgusted right now..

quite surprising!
I was impressed by the defence lawyers, I thought they did an amazing job defending her.

Nailed it on the head.

This bitch TOTALLY knows what happened to her baby... How she died and who was involved.. Now she is going to walk! WTF?! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS 2 YR OLDS DEATH!?
Casey didnt even claim her child was missing until over a MONTH after she was missing!? What kind of mother does that... !?!?

I'd like to hear your guys' theories as to what happened to the baby, if you think Casey Anthony didn't kill her? I didn't follow the trial, but my parents did, so I ended up hearing a lot about it.

I can't believe she got out to be honest, but I also don't know all the details. Sounds like they just didn't have enough information to get her.
In other words though.. am I the only one that is oddly attracted to this woman. Something about her creepy killerness makes me want to beat it up very bad. lol..

I was very shocked by the result but suprisingly not upset.
The best part was seeing the look on the arrogant prosecutors face (the laughing guy) afterwards. I'd love to see his face during the verdict though.

She is directly implicated in the murder and numerous clues that it was premeditated. Was there reasonable doubt to at least the murder 2 charge? No, I didn't think so.
Of course, i'm responding emotionally to the death of an innocent child. I am glad to be in a society where a jury of my peers will place the burden of evidence on the state. I really am. I am sad this case went so awry.

Whaaat? I thought she had absolutely no supportive evidence and a guilty verdict was pretty much guaranteed ?

Obviously we feel bad for the little girl as justice wasn't served but you can't blame the jury for not convicting her without very solid evidence that proves she did it beyond a reasonable doubt. It would be hard being a juror and giving someone a guilty sentence (especially for murder) if you couldn't sit in your bed at night and be convinced that she did it and that you had the evidence to prove it.
Even if she doesn't go to jail her life is still ruined. No one will ever accept, hire her, be nice to her, she called out her dad on trial so her parents hate her, and I have no idea what kind of guy would ever want to be with her.
|
There should have been a 2nd degree or manslaughter charge. But prosecutors went for home run. Damn shame. Poor kid
|
Yes she was almost certainly at least involved in her childs death but there is a very high burden on the state in this case (beyond a reasonable doubt).
They couldn't physically tie casey to the death through and relied heavily upon circumstantial evidence which normal people don't like (even though the law says it is fine). Also, they never showed her motive which jurors love to hear.
This is understandable.

There was no actual proof that she killed the kid intentionally. There -may- have been enough evidence to say she may have accidentally killed her or something, however there was no seriously damning evidence, and she was cleared of that as well. A lot of it was on her father, and much of the evidence against her was shot down by the defense with pretty reasonable arguments that certainly put 'doubt' into all 12 of the juror's minds.
I've been saying since halfway through that she's gonna get off. Before the defense even started to take their turn, it didn't really seem like the prosecution had much. I watched about 80% of it, and stayed away from the news, because it's horribly biased, annoying, and covers irresponsible things outside of the actual case itself. Media coverage of this case was so bad, I gave it about 5 minutes and never watched again, as the jurors obviously don't watch media either.

how fucked would the whole system be though if you could convict on flimsy evidence?

@everyone saying she is guilty.
Were any of you in the courtroom or with her baby at the time of death?
If not then what the fuck qualifies you to make a decision if she is guilty or not? The news media? Now thats a reliable source for information.

People can lie for a lot of reasons. I wouldn't want to have a justice system that convict people based on them simply lying through their teeth.
