Two different cases.

Agreed...

This case was Casey Anthony appearing to be a narcissistic sociopath who was a chronological liar. This alone can make anyone appear guilty. Those who watched or followed may agree. It's not cool to get a tattoo a day after she disappears (or close to a day) and expect people to think she was concerned.

There was no evidence...sorry to say. The prosecution should be ashamed.

What a joke, that skank just got away with murder. Hope those jurors are proud of themselves. Where did they get those idiots from, a Walmart parking lot?

i think the jurors did the right thing. it's the prosecutors that didn't do their job.

I mean, how do you not find out how she died? that would have been my first step...

[toesuf94]

For me the guilt was NOT turning in a missing person's report within hours of a 2 year old going missing...it tells me all I needed to know about the person who committed the crime. 2 year olds don't just go for a drive or decide to join the circus.

Because there wasn't a body there was just skulls. If there wasn't blunt force trauma then you can't tell how the person died. I mean you can't do a toxic report on bones. They tried to use Google searches of "chloroform" to try to prove that she killed her by chloroform poison and duct taping the mouth and nose. Which is honestly (or sadly) is just circumstantial.

Unless you have smelled a dead human body...and done so as part of your job on a daily basis, could you testify to this. You need to have experience as in an "expert" to testify that the smell you smelled was consistant of that of decomposing human remains based on 23 years of law enforcement experience with "X" police department.

A "civilian" can't say...oh I smelled human remains...and testify expertly. Hell, you can put a pig in a car for 2 weeks and tell an unknowing person it's human remains and they very well will believe you. The smells are eerily similar. Not exact, but similar. When I travel down roads and smell roadkill on a hot 90 degree day, sometimes I am fooled...it's deja vu'

The smell of decomposition is inconclusive and circumstantial without DNA, blood, trace evicence from the car.

I think the jurors did exactly the right thing in this case..... there was no scientific link to casey committing murder of her child. there also was no real believable motive. what you did have was a bad sense of judgement on the mothers actions. that will not get a murder conviction. they would have been better off to let her go and wait for better evidence before trying her.

She's found not guilty. Doesn't mean she did/didn't do it. But it happens every day. Let's move on now. The circus/rubbernecking is over. Go the f*** home. And she'll go out and party. She's got a lot of making up time to do with her party pals.

She'll be rich now with a book and movie deal (just wait and see) because she is an attractive, young white woman. You, on the other hand, likely will not be rich because of this. I'm pretty confident to say that had she been a dumpy, unattractive Haitian refugee for example, there would be no book/movie deals.

Deal with it. Get over it. I'm over it already.

i really don't know the details of this case. how long did it take for them to find the body?

and what was Casey's answer to why she waited 31 days to report a missing child report?

The mother smelled it. Ten other bystanders did not.

Her saying "surprise, surprise" when the mother told her about the new stories in prison? Not evidence.

The tatoo that says "Beautiful Life" (correct me if I'm wrong), not evidence.

Her demeanor in court? Not evidence.

The prosecution had nothing. "100% of people would not do that [react somewhat calm when told about daughter's kidnap]" etc. etc. does not make for a case.

For all we know, the grandfather really did kill her and was in cahoots with the mother. The killing may have been a convenience for Casey and therefore she showed nonchalance. Didn't the grandfather attempt to commit suicide? Just putting different perspectives out there because emotion does not dictate whether one is innocent or guilty.

Am I defending Casey? No. Am I labeling her as a killer, a monster, etc? Not with the little amount of knowledge and actual care I have for this case.

33 days for the mother of Casey to report the child missing. 6 months for them to find the body. If I remember she was reported missing in June and was found that December. However, some guy reportedly found the body 3 times before they finally located it in the spot he said it was. The cops twice went down and didn't search because I think 1 time the area was flooded and the other time there were snakes or some shit. They finally went down on the third time and the body was found in a plastic bag. Well the bones were.

Her whole defense for the time it took to report was a shit ton of lies because her father and brother molested her as a child and she had to lie to cover that up so she was used to lying. Mind you this is the defense. Then she tried to blame some fictional nanny. Apparently the baby accidently died she panicked and hide the body. The mother hadn't seen the child in a while so she reported her missing.

Defense attorneys love people like you for jurors.

Can't see the forest through the trees.

When a cadaver dog alerts on your trunk.... probably a good chance a dead person has been there, and the car owner had something to do with it.

When you party like it's 1999 for a month after your child is gone from your life.... probably a good chance you had something to do with it.

When your parents walk out on your not guilty of murder verdict.... probably a good chance you had something to do with it.

When you lie to the police in a murder investigation.... you get the point.

No different from O.J., Michael Jackson.... high profile lawyers convinced moronic jurors to ignore the evidence.

[PoorMansCamaro]

So how is waiting 33 days to file a missing child report not considered abuse? That's pretty f'd up. Did she figure her 2 year old daughter was going on a walk-about or something?

[Milk 1027]

I think the problem here was that the prosecutors tried to go for the death sentence when they didn't have enough concrete evidence. It's just a case of bad prosecution.
Should've gone for the life sentence.

Still doesn't mean she killed her.

DNA test negative on the duct tape.

Internet search apparently equates to action. I just watched a FPSRussia video, now I'm going to go out shooting a M240 randomly.

No DNA match in the car.

No DNA match in or around the body.

The law is based on evidence not heersay. All of your points are emotionally involved. Courts and jurors seldom care for that information if evidence is negligible.

Jose Baez is a nobody. He is not high profile, and as a matter of fact was no where near high profile until today. In the OJ case, once again, there was DNA OF HIS WIFE ALL OVER HIS BODY AND APARTMENT IN THE FORM OF BLOOD. In Casey Anthony's case, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE. This jury made the right decision. What if Casey was in fact innocent and the parent's are just creating a scheme? You have to keep an open mind and look at both sides of the spectrum. Casey obviously wanted to live the "Beautiful Life", and the daughter's death may have been a convenience to her and wanted to keep it that way. Is it sick? Yes. Is it worth a guilty verdict on being an imbecile? No.

Also, did I say that Casey was innocent? No. Did I say that she was guilty? No. I do not have enough knowledge or time to care for this case, I just enjoy intelligent discussion.
