Can someone explain to me how the prosecution (if thats what you kill the people representing the state) blew it by going for the death penalty instead of just putting her in jail for a very long time? 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. the judge may let her walk this week or put her away for a year. Hardly a fitting punishment. Shit the trial cost Florida probably half a million dollars.
Punishment only applies to people who are actually proven guilty. She's only proven guilty for lying to the cops four times, which could be served concurrently or consecutively, depending on a lot of things.
The cost of the trial is NOT an argument for innocence or guilt for obvious reasons. Nor should it be an argument for the degree of punishment. Punishment should be based on the merits of the case alone, not external factors.

on almost every forum on the internet is exploding about this....

i'm so surprised by the verdict. as i'm sure most people are

From the liveblog on wftv.com
Comment From Kevin in Fairfax, VA Kevin in Fairfax, VA: ]
They didn't say she is innocent. They said she is not guilty as charged.
This is an extremely important point to take note of.

So my take on what probably happened:
Casey was looking up ways to put her child asleep, so she could go off and do random shit without getting a babysitter. She finds something, accidentally OD's her kid in an attempt to put her to sleep, freaks out and tries to cover it up.
Is that murder? No.
Is it manslaughter? Probably not.
Criminally negligent homicide? Likely yes.
The hardass DA trying to make a career /name for himself did more to prevent justice being served, not the jury, or the defense, or the court of law. That is exactly manslaughter, actually. 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.
Sorry, I'm afraid I was mis-informed. Where I come from manslaughter is when you kill someone by accident. Gassing your kid to death would be manslaughter in yosisoy-land.
Also, Florida. I'm not surprised. Where people have trouble understanding how to vote.

What really gets to me is how she could have easily avoided this whole thing. She lives in the shit hole of a swamp state of Florida, can drop her baby off in any swamp and leave it to the crocks. Mind = blown at her stupidity.

i dont understand how the jury came to this. the chlorophorm(sp?) searches on the internet, and traces of it in the trunk seemed like solid enough evidence to me. no one searches for that out of the blue.
and the fact that she dissapeared herself while caylee was missing says alot. idk i'm a bit dissapointed honestly. i thought she would get manslaughter and aggravated child abuse at the least.

ITT: People insult the justice system because they believed the Media before even asking about the facts.

Casey's mother said that she did the chloroform searches. Obviously lying to protect her daughter but it's one more bit of doubt cast onto the case.

Anyone up for taking bets on whether or not Casey Anthony gets murdered in prison by a fellow inmate? I'm betting she'll last maybe a couple of months if she's lucky.
Obviously assuming she goes to prison for the lying charges.

You've never done a search on anything questionable, ever? Plus it was only proved that it was done on her computer, not that Casey searched for it.
And take a look in your garage chemical supply. Chloroform is a common ingredient in automotive repair stuff (generally as propellant in older spray cans, I think).

She could easily just get time served since she's already been in jail for a couple years for a crime she was acquitted of.

Perfect first post, welcome to TL.
Contrary to your belief, the entire state of Florida isn't swamp. Also, we have alligators here in central Florida, not crocodiles. Lastly, good-bye, as I can't imagine you'll last long here.

are you stupid? the facts are that she lied to police for months about helping them find her missing daughter, she partied and was getting tattoos and enjoying her life while her 2 year old daughter was missing, chloroform, smell of death, etc.

It was conclusively proven that during most of the time the alleged searches took place, Casey was at work.

The grandmother claimed the google searches. The duct tape didn't fit right. None of the evidence was strong enough.

I'm actually more offended by the fact that this women values her personal desires more than her two year old child. She didn't properly care for her child and as a result, an accident related to negligence led to her child's death. I believe that parenthood is universally understood, even by those without children or parents and even moreso by those who have children or parents that they dearly love. When we see a case like, we begin to wonder that there may be something very wrong about this woman as a person. As a result, we believe she MUST be punished for the sake of cartharsis. We want to believe that this women is a terrible person because of what she did to her child and as a result, we want to believe that terrible people (especially those who kill their own kin) recieve nothing but punishment.
But then again, it's all a matter of perspective. Obviously the mother has her own story. She may have been grieving since it happened, panicing in doubt of what would happen to her, etc. etc. We really can't know all this and I honestly wouldn't want any form of media to pitch it to me in any way. This is why I was not upset at the verdict, just a bit uneasy.

It proves she's a bad mother. Not a murderer
