<p>The judge can’t not give credit for time served. She was in jail awaiting trial, that’s incarceration and such imprisonment counts toward one’s sentence if convicted. There’s no option there.</p>
<p>prediction -
Cindy and George Anthony will file for divorce soon, Cindy will welcome Casey with open arms while George will never forget how Casey tried to throw him under the bus.</p>
<p>I think saying Cindy would welcome her with open arms is mischaracterizing the situation. Just because she didn’t want her daughter to get the death penalty doesn’t mean all is forgiven.</p>
<p>Re: the pregnancy thing–I have a friend/cohortmate who’s 7 months pregnant, and she didn’t start showing until 6 months or so. If she wore baggy shirts, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell today.</p>
<p>In the long run it will be the end of Cindy, too. She may well welcome her back home for now, simply out of relief and denial, but the truth will eat away at any remnant of a relationship that they might have. I predict it won’t end well for any of them.</p>
<p>i’m with rosie…i think casey knew she was pregnant…but cindy didnt… I also dont for one second believe that casey was still a virgin when she was 19.</p>
<p>must be a masochist…watching nancy grace…cringe cringe!</p>
<p>was a headline that cindy and george are receiving death threats.</p>
<p>Someone said something pretty funny on twitter:</p>
<p>@pourmecoffee Big challenge for HLN wardrobe and cosmetics team now as Nancy Grace turns green and shreds her clothing.</p>
<p>I think it takes a certain amount of intellectual curiosity to serve on the jury of this nature when dots have to be connected. Sadly, our system is not set up to empanel juries that fit that description. I fear this jury just didn’t want to do what was necessary to try to put the puzzle together.</p>
<p>The jury has been listening to the facts of this case, watching witnesses and the attorneys up close and personal for over a month. However, people like Bill O’Reilly and his toadies are on tv right now proclaiming this a “miscarriage of justice.” I wonder how much time Bill has spent watching the daily televised trial? I don’t think he was present in the courtroom either. lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree that they will divorce, but I think it is Cindy who will move on an start a new life while George tries to stay by Casey’s side.</p>
<p>Gee, rarely that I agree with Bill O’Reilly, but I think it is a miscarriage of justice too.</p>
<p>One thing this proves yet again is that some people will <em>always</em> believe abuse claims, even if they are made by a proven, extreme liar like Casey Anthony. You can see it in this thread.</p>
<p>I know a girl who is a lot like Casey Anthony in some ways, but much smarter and much better educated. She stole and lied from an early age, and made a variety of false abuse claims against several targets beginning in middle school. (And yes, I know for a fact that the claims were all false.) She never tells the truth when she can make up a story that she thinks sounds better. She tries on new personas regularly, and has even legally changed her name. Everyone who knows what she has actually done agrees that she is probably a sociopath. But she is brilliant and highly manipulative, and has found some gullible enablers whose self image is fed by believing her lies. Naturally they are well-to-do, and can do things like present her with a new car, then provide another one when she wrecked the first one. We think that it is quite possible that she will eventually murder someone if they get in her way, and she can’t get her way by some other method.</p>
<p>Such people do really exist, and unfortunately there are those who will believe them.</p>
<p>3 scenarios i see…casey might be the one in control in that house now… she will be the one pulling in big money for book rights, appearances, movie rights etc… cindy and george probably have little left and havent worked in years now (i think)…and may need to keep casey in their life…</p>
<p>.or she wont need them now and will dump them until she does. </p>
<p>if any part of george meeting that woman (holloway/cruz whatever her name is) is true cindy may kick george out now…then she and casey will take advantage of the money coming in together</p>
<p>*prediction -
Cindy and George Anthony will file for divorce soon, Cindy will welcome Casey with open arms while George will never forget how Casey tried to throw him under the bus. *</p>
<p>I think that could be likely. Cindy will try to push this under the rug. </p>
<p>Cheney Mason said that Casey won’t be going home, but he said that with the assumption that Geo would be there. </p>
<p>the problem is the divorce. Cindy did see an atty much earlier (before Caylee died) and when she learned how much she’d lose (half equity, half of her retirement, and possibly pay spousal support), she backed off. </p>
<p>However, if there is a way to milk this into some money, then I could see them divorcing. However, Casey would still be blaming Cindy for the ladder…when that isn’t likely what happened.</p>
<p>*I think saying Cindy would welcome her with open arms is mischaracterizing the situation. Just because she didn’t want her daughter to get the death penalty doesn’t mean all is forgiven. *</p>
<p>I agree that all will not be forgiven…afterall, Casey made Cindy look foolish all that time when Cindy was screaming at everyone that Caylee was still alive and Cindy was STILL looking for Zany until a couple of months ago.</p>
<p>Unlike what they’re saying on TV, I don’t think the jury ignored the evidence. I think that they thought that the evidence FIT the drowning scenario…the death smell, putting duct tape on the face to make it look like a kidnapping/murder, etc.</p>
<p>Whether or not Casey made up stories is secondary to the fact that the prosecution did not prove their case. Those of you believing the prosecution’s “evidence” are on a par with those believing that Casey might have been abused imo (“benefit of the doubt, presumption of innocence”). Heaven help us all if getting a tattoo is the highlight of “evidence.”<br>
I do hope Casey is not surrounded by money-grubbing sycophants (including her parents), and is able to get the psychiatric treatment she needs. Chances are slim of that, alas. There are no winners here.</p>
<p>I don’t believe the jury’s verdict was reasonable in light of the evidence. Nothing to be done about it, but that’s what I believe.</p>
<p>lol^^^^</p>
<p>Please tell me you aren’t serious. There was no direct evidence. None. That means no official cause of death, as well as no direct evidence tying her to the crime.</p>
<p>A lot of people here went in with massive emotionally based preconceptions, and that IMHO, is the main problem in this thread. Your ability to be objective is therefore non-existent now.</p>
<p>^Her car? The chloroform searches? Her lies about where Caylee was after she had died? How does that not tie her?</p>
<p>well i dont fault the jury… they did a very hard job</p>
<p>but something cause caylee’s death and it was either casey or george OR casey and george… nothing was ever offered that she was kidnapped and murdered (zanny doesnt exist) by someone else… if it was an accident then they had to believe as mom2ck said that they disguised it as a murder ie the duct tape… i posted this weekend that i thought the prosecution was wrong to say no one would make an accident look like a murder… i could see casey doing that… (and i also heard about that case in florida where parents were charged with manslaughter for the drowning of their children)… </p>
<p>so the jury had to believe it was an accident they tried to cover up and the duct tape was placed after…they listened to the evidence not me.</p>
