<p>Is it in the archives?</p>
<p>Because I would love to read that.</p>
<p>I predict Jon Stewart will say something like: “After weighing all the evidence, I think she’s guilty of … being kind of hot.”</p>
<p>jsanche32, just curious – do you think OJ Simpson was guilty?</p>
<p>Yes, I believe OJ was guilty.</p>
<p>^^^"I wonder if in cases like this…the prosecution should set up “practice juries” first to tell their case to…to identify weaknesses/confusion.</p>
<p>The fake juries could have those dial pads in their hands where they “dial up” when they’re hearing convincing stuff and dial down when they’re confused or they don’t believe/understand something."</p>
<p>A FOCUS GROUP, for hire, for “future felons” - I like it!</p>

<p>It sure is interesting how poor everything is here in the United States. The justice system is poor. The healthcare system is poor. The education system is poor. BUT for some reason, people FLOCK from around the world to come to America. Why is that?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Which people FLOCK? Being better than 3rd world systems doesn’t mean it’s great… Canadians, Brits, Aussies and such aren’t exactly knocking our doors down.</p>
<p>The US is a fabulous place to live if you have the necessary monetary resources to live comfortably. It is not a very forgiving place if you don’t. Which is why i still prefer countries with actual social safety nets. (Canada would be my pick)</p>
<p>What do you make of the post verdict statement by the Anthony’s (Cindy, George & Lee) through their attorney, Mark Lippman? Basically, pleased the jury found Casey not guilty but not saying they think she is innocent in Caylee’s death.</p>
<p>They know the only thing that makes sense is that she killed Caylee. Cindy knew it the minute she smelled death in that trunk. They certainly know that the drowning story is ridiculous. What other conclusion can they come to?</p>
<p>I’m very disappointed with the verdict. However, I wish the state had charged her appropriately for a conviction based on what evidence they have. I don’t believe in the death penalty and to make the jump from some very good circumstantial evidence to the lethal injection doesn’t sit well with me. Not reporting your child missing is neglect and abuse. She obstructed an investigation. I don’t believe it was an accident. I examined the timeline of the 31 days and the cell records, text messages and where she was during that time and she did not show any evidence of looking for her daughter, coupled with the lying is very suspect. The sad commentary is that she will somehow incriminate herself again and hopefully justice will be served.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, even the defense admits she was involved…the drowning story and coverup involved her. So, despite that I am convinced she was involved (intentionally or accidentally…though I don’t believe the actual pool story version), even the defense story says she was involved!</p>
<p>I’m not too impressed with jsanche32’s tone, either, but I have to agree with his/her basic argument. The evidence was weak. I think I would have voted to convict anyway, but on a lesser charge, because premeditated murder just wasn’t proven. That leaves me no less appalled by the whole situation, though. Casey Anthony is scum and deserves something terrible; I just wish I knew what.</p>
<p>Someone mentioned a post-trial statement by Jose Baez that spoke volumes. I can’t find any information about this. Can someone enlighten me as to what he said?</p>
<p>I’m not saying she didn’t do it. I’m not saying she wasn’t involved. I’m not saying I’m surprised with the outcome of the case. And I’m not saying I’m disappointed or happy with the result.</p>
<p>All I’m saying is the 12 people’s opinions who mattered in this trial were not convinced she did it. That says it all for me. And the fact that they came back so quickly I think is big too…</p>
<p>She could have been convicted of Felony Murder–which is the same Murder One as premeditated murder. Causing the death of someone while in the course of committing a felony (trying to shut Caylee up with chloroform/duct tape, and not intending her to die, but she dies anyway). I thought the evidence was there. It is permissible and in fact realistic to draw inferences. To connect dots. Not every crime has DNA/fingerprint/video evidence. Just the ones on TV.</p>
<p>I was thinking involuntary manslaughter, to allow for the possibility that it was an accident due to gross negligence. 'Cause it sure as hell wasn’t accidental drowning covered up by George.</p>
<p>Mantori-How do you reconcile the partying during the 31 days?</p>
<p>Vitrac, for the last time (I think I’m starting to sound like a broken record at this point) there was no direct physical evidence linking her to her daughters murder/kidnapping /whatever. Not the chloroform and not the duct tape. You can’t just “infer” that something happened and call it proof that something factually happened. That is ludicrous logic.</p>
<p>Simple fact of the matter is they overcharged because they were swayed by public opinion. That was their biggest mistake. They should have stuck with something that they could actually convict with, like manslaughter.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t. I think she’s an evil subhuman who killed her kid and was glad not to have the responsibility anymore. I just don’t think the prosecution proved that it was intentional, that’s all.</p>
<p>Jsanche-I’m not your child so you don’t get to speak to me with that snarky tone. Knock it off. I disagree with your statements and opinions. Period.</p>
