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. I have to agree heartily with that. I'd much rather 10 guilty people go free than 1 innocent person go to jail. | ||

Seriously, they can't figure out how Caylee died when the body is found with tape all over the mouth and had her parents lie for her even when they opened the trunk and smelled decomposing flesh. Guess it's back to partying after maybe time served. | ||

If you haven't been following the case/trial you should probably just leave the thread instead of begging OP for more information. GOOGLE IT FOR YOURSELF, instead of whining for someone to summarize a 3 year long case that included 300 pieces of evidence and tons of expert testimony. | ||

Because of what a single idiot who didn't follow the trial and just listens to what pundits on TV said thinks the system is flawed. Don't even bother with the countless trials happening all around the country every week which work under the same rules. Thanks for the amazing imput. | ||

She was accused, and the public tried her and found her guilty before she got to trial. The prosecution did not have substantial enough evidence to convict her. No matter how much anyone wants her to be punished, you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone did the crime they were accused of. Even though she's an absolutely horrible mother, and a bad person, she has the same rights regarding a fair trial as everyone else in the country. Our justice system was thus not mocked today, but instead, it was exalted. Nobody really knows what happened to her daughter, but people have turned her into a murderer because she's a bad mother. There are only a couple of things that we know about Casey Anthony with absolute certainty: she's a liar (she lied to police, this is documented), and she is (what most would consider) an awful mother (partying during the month her daughter was missing would lead one to believe this). What we don't know, and cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt, is that she's a murderer--and that's what this trial was all about. Bad mother, liar . . . maybe not a murderer. To note: I'm only defending our justice system, I think she probably did it, and probably deserves horrible things to happen to her regardless of whether or not she murdered her daughter, she seems soulless and evil, in my eyes. But my eyes are biased, and the eyes of the law must be unbiased. | ||

She did it, but there was reasonable doubt. Correct verdict, imo. If you haven't been following the case/trial you should probably just leave the thread instead of begging OP for more information. GOOGLE IT FOR YOURSELF, instead of whining for someone to summarize a 3 year long case that included 300 pieces of evidence and tons of expert testimony. Exactly, I just posted my feelings on the verdict which was "LOL" I cant explain a 3 year case. Do you guys really prefer a justice system where everyone believes she is guilty based on all the information yet she can get off just because there is no physical evidence? Common sense should be the deciding factor. | ||

Most people I think are of the opinion she had something to do with the death of her child, I'd most likely agree with this. After hearing most of the case involuntarily though (along with busting my mom's chops at dinner), I couldn't help but reiterate over and over that she shouldn't be surprised when she gets off just like OJ did. I know the cases are pretty different, but to me both cases seemed to play out in very similar fashions. I just can't wait for the book deal that's coming down the pipe for her whenever she wants to do it. As much as people will sit there and bitch about how guilty she is, those same people will be lining up at the bookstore waiting for that thing to be released | ||

If the defense argued that she drowned in the grandparents pool then don't the grandparents/babysitter have to provide 100% concrete evidence for or against that? | ||

Common sense should be the deciding factor. I'm pretty sure we tried this once a couple centuries ago. In Salem. It really didn't go over very well for obvious reasons. The main problem being that judgment by public opinion and "common sense", not hard evidence, is a stupid way to conduct a trial. | ||

Common sense should be the deciding factor. common sense is prevailing. If you dont know 100% that she killed her child then you dont know at all. Is she guilty? possibly, i personally dont know. But the prosecution's argument got shot full of holes by the defense. | ||
