That is exactly manslaughter, actually. | ||

Yeah shes pissed because they been saying that she was guilty over the last 3 years and then with the defenses attorney mashed on them by saying you dont know nothing about this case lol | ||

Well, they still didn't prove that Casey was the murderer or even guilty of "aggravated manslaughter". She'll still probably go to jail for a while due to the lying part. | ||

What? That has nothing to do with anything, that's part of the punishment (which comes after a guilty verdict) and for murder 1 (which the state sought) you can have death penalty or a long gaol time. | ||

And our emotions tell "us" that 2 year olds are innocent and whoever killed said child is a monster. Makes me wonder if "we" would be as upset over the verdict of the victim was a criminal. We're all too quick in applying these labels and prejudgments that blind us to how justice system works. It's called due processing, brahs--if you don't like it, move to another country where you would be stoned to death if you were accused of rape. | ||

Shit the trial cost Florida probably half a million dollars. | ||

She'll still probably go to jail for a while due to the lying part. apparently the max you can get for lying is like 5 years, and the 3 years she spent waiting for the trial is counted towards that, plus she probably wont get the max, so most likely she will walk free this week. | ||

There is a difference between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter (not called manslaughter in every jurisdiction). Something tells me aggravated is not the involuntary one. | ||

Manslaughter in Florida requires 'reckless indifference to human life'. If she was looking up dosage amounts on the internet (which she probably was -- googling chloroform and what not), I would think that counts against having reckless indifference to human life. Granted, it is very stupid. It is criminally negligent, but at least it shows that you cared, and was not recklessly indifferent. | ||

This is just an assumption. because you are using the states argument that Casey want a better live. But would it be easier to just give her grandmother and grandfather custody other than giving your kids a drug that is used to rape/kidnapped people.......... | ||
