Summed up perfectly by one of the prosecution's closing argument: "Who's life was better off with Caylee dead? That's the only question you have to consider." No! That's not the only question you have to consider!!!!!! wtf! | ||

I am not gonna say what I think about Casey Anthony and whether she is guilty or not. I will say, it disgusts me that someone can go through every element of the justice system with the fiercest opposition, be found not guilty, and still be crucified by people who have no idea what the truth is. A trial is meant to be what determines guilt and innocence. If you just decide that someone must have gotten it wrong and so it's your right, power and privilege to act as though they are exactly what they were not found to be, you demean justice. Even if you are right. Even if they did it. The idea of a trial is to avoid you and people like you seeking villification and vindication for their own ends. Just so you know. | ||

I wonder if she will receive protection from the govt for the coming years. Yeh same, I'm wouldn't be suprised if a bunch of weirdos try and go vigilante on her ass. | ||

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. Your eyes aren't biased, it's the fact that the human brain is capable of simple logic... But logic never gets you anywhere these days does it? The fact that she tried that counter suit on her father was enough for me to make my decision on her. But the evidence wasn't there and the prosecution was painful to watch. I remember one of the state's pieces of evidence: (Begin crude paraphrasing) "We found a shovel and there was a hair on it." "Was it her hair?" "We don't know who it belongs to, but it has been tested and it is hair." The end result isn't surprising, as the sentences increase, the chance of conviction decreases. | ||

Not calling the authorities for 31 days after your child goes missing (kidnapped according to Casey's first story) isn't child abuse. Cool jury bro. Yeah I know we shouldn't be criticizing the jury, its how our justice system works. However, I just can't get past that logic. | ||

Actually I would call her a villain or a psychopath. She was partying the entire time. Yes though you are right, I should not use my common sense on this case and instead defer to a legal system for determining my judgment. Again it just means the jurors, 12 people, decided it was not without a reasonable doubt, not that she did not do it. She obviously did kill her child IMO. The justice system is wrong a lot of the time. they could not get a "smoking" gun, but it was pretty clear to most people. | ||
