It should be.

I assumed that was what the charges of "aggravated child abuse" were for, but she was found not guilty of that too. I dunno, that is pretty messed up that she got away with that, because that's one thing they could definitely prove. There's no way a mother could be ignorant of her child's disappearance for a month.

You guys know that there actually making a movie about this right?

Stormy · Jul 06, 2011 11:41 PM

Wait, really? O__o And she's going to be making money off it, I'm sure.... That's really messed up.

JazzJackrabbit · Jul 06, 2011 11:42 PM

It will never be as good as Anatomy of a Murder.
EDIT: Or Twelve Angry Men for that matter.
EDIT again: Not to mention the episode of Psych "Cloudy with a Chance (of Murder)"

This is what I don't like about the trial. As I said earlier, this isn't a unique case by any means. Casey Anthony may have committed a horrible act, but to put it into perspective, there are many other cases that were just as bad. The media just happens to publicize it, and now it's going to be made into a movie? The amount of publicity is undeserved.

Maybe you need to explain everything you say because you need to make it more clear in the first place. If it's something that happens often with many different people, it's probably not their fault and likely that it's yours.

believe it or not, that's actually not how it is. it's not usually my words that people are confused by, it's the atypical/"unconventional" thoughts i express with them. but don't get me wrong, in this case it was my words/my fault. if you want to continue this, i'd say, continue this in private messages, for relevancy's sake.

hm.. perhaps it is deserved, for the victim's sake, but definitely not this kind of publicity. or this outcome. she's a *bleep*ing murder victim, not something to entertain the masses with and rake in more money.

If the case happened in my city, it would be big news only in the city, and perhaps a mention on national news. It never would go beyond that, and certainly won't have people rushing to get seats in the court to watch the case, like what Floridians did. The more media attention this case gets, the more jaded people become and will say "who cares?" You shouldn't. It might sound insensitive, but it's a simple fact that there are way more sorrows in other places one should put attention to. I guess the only benefit is to the victim as the above poster mentioned (justice by publicity), but most other victims won't get their cries heard beyond their own district.
But yes, I guess raking in money by publicity is how the US media works. And apparently, people are raving to watch the trial just as much.

I haven't the slightest idea, but I think I recall hearing about Casey's trial and how she murdered someone.
You're ignorance is showing...

To be honest, a lot of people don't know about this trial. It further shows how insignicant this case is. The biggest hype of course is in Florida.

I'm not saying that she didn't do it. But I think it is very possible she was innocent (I feel it was more likely that she was covering up someone else). The state should have gotten a lot more evidence before making the trial.

You are quite possibly the most forgiving guy out there...
Perhaps I don't wish her the death sentence, but not many would say that she'd cover up for someone else...can you explain that?

Sadly she's free from the murder charges and can't be re-tried, though I think her punishment of being ostracized is powerful.

exactly

Good news?

riverhippo · Jul 08, 2011 12:15 AM

This is just my personal opinion:

Is she guilty of negligence? Yes

Is she guilty of lying? Yes

Is she responsible for her daughter's death? Yes

Did she murder her daughter? No.

I feel that she needs to serve for her negligence, but I do not think she deserves capital punishment.

The main reason the jury voted not guilty of charges of murder was because the prosecuter (the state) failed to provide enough evidence to prove that she killed the child. Their main argument was "she lies."

JazzJackrabbit · Jul 08, 2011 12:25 AM

There was more than enough evidence that she did it. Everything found with the body directly led to Casey. The rare duct tape, the bag from a set of two, the search results for chloroform and how to make it... She had a motive, and tried to frame someone else (a fake nanny and her own father). It doesn't exactly take a psychic detective to prove she did it.

I understand that argument. But the closest look at these evidences is required for such a case. We're dealing with someone's life here. People outside the courtroom are so negative and quick to judge, but the jurors aren't stupid, they just saw something we never did.

JazzJackrabbit · Jul 08, 2011 12:48 AM

I am 100% sure she did it. I see all the evidence against her, and no evidence for her. Even if the jury made the smart verdict, she would probably just get life in prison.

The justice system is flawed. Some guy named Bruce Wayne was put on death row for something a different Bruce Wayne did. Fortunately he got out of it after it was decided ridiculous to execute a man for a typo, despite the fact he was still found guilty.

MaxwellTheScribblenaut · Jul 08, 2011 1:04 AM

I don't get this whole case. First she's guilty, then she is not for the time she already served. Then, the judge is like ''Oh she should go to jail anyway'', then they decide not. Why can't they just make up their mind?

bmah · Jul 08, 2011 7:32 AM

I'm not the only one who doesn't really care

Thank goodness the Casey Anthony case is over! The jury thinks she is not guilty of murder. I don’t know if they got right or wrong, but I do know many dollars and much air time was devoted to a story that will have zero effect on the lives of 99.999% of Americans. I think the discovery of a walking, talking Martian would have gotten about the same attention. I guess this stuff sells newspapers and gets TV ratings but is sure not what U.S. citizens should be focused on. Maybe that’s the point. Are stories like Casey Anthony just our version of a Roman Circus? Are the masses being kept preoccupied with events that have no bearing on their lives while the country burns in a cloud of debt? I think so.
Most people have no idea of the perilous position the U.S. is in. One wrong move by our government or even a government the size of Greece, Portugal, Spain or Italy, and there could be a daisy chain of debt explosions around the globe. The people are in the dark, and I blame the mainstream media (MSM.) A story that should have people really terrified is the battle going on in Washington D.C. over raising the debt ceiling some $2.4 trillion dollars.
