Recommended Posts

Wait till the after-coverage. People are still gonna be talking about this for awhile I'm sure.

I already had one highschool friend remove me on facebook because I commented he was an arrogant jackass for calling the jury "incompetent" in his status.

A lot of people don't understand just how high the quantum of proof is in criminal proceedings. You can't just be pretty sure they did it. If anyone, blame the prosecutors, not the jury.

The biggest problem was that the prosecution did not have enough direct evidence. All the evidence was circumstantial. Still, there was alot of it, there was enough of it, and I've seen innocents get convicted with far less than that.

Look, is there the chance she's innocent? Yes. There is. However, she's still guilty on many things. Her sentence should have been alot worse. She lied to the police on 4 different occasions (which she was sentenced on). That right there tells me something else is hiding in this story.

She also waited 31 days, THIRTY ONE DAYS, to tell anybody the kid was missing. And you're telling me that's not some form of child abuse?

Personally, I believe she's guilty. HOWEVER, there is still that one small chance, that slight doubt, that she's innocent. What was shown, merely shown, did not remove all plausible doubt.

That said, I think there's still alot more to this case that hasn't been explored or explained properly. We're missing alot of information that I think should have been there. In the words of PW:JFA : "The miracle never happen." We'll never know the full truth now.

This. I feel sorry for the kid the most, and the grandparents that loved her dearly.

One of the conflicting evidence is that the dead daughter was duct taped around her mouth and nose. This would be useless if the victim was dead by drowning beforehand. It points at the fact that someone must of (the mother) duct taped her daughter's mouth and nose to shut her up and suffocate her.

Going to play the race card here. If she was black, not only would she be in jail the entire family would be there also.

I take back, if she was black who would have cared.

Are you really that stupid?

Please tell me why I cannot criticize the prosecution simply because I don't have 100% of the information of what went on in the courtroom (as if knowing the evidence of the case and all the relevant information wasn't enough).

If you believe that, then the president, police, government in general, etc. cannot be criticized for their actions because "we weren't there".

But hey, insults are easier to sling than actual content, right?

ETA: He believes there was enough evidence to convict Casey Anthony, the prosecutors did not get a conviction, therefore in his mind they failed. How is that unreasonable?

Because neither of you know all the evidence, the way it was presented, how the defense responded, etc. Snippets from news organizations aren't going to give you the same view the jury had. The circumstances that led to her acquittal may have had nothing to do with the competence of the prosecution, and it's stupid as fuck to assume you know otherwise.

The evidence has been presented pretty well to the public. There was no evidence to lead to a murder one conviction, but there very well seemed like enough to get a manslaughter conviction. The prosecution chose to get greedy and pursue a murder one/capital sentence, and it ended up fucking them over.

I can very well make that statement without issue, and it is silly for you to make such a statement when such statement would apply to just about any criticism of any politician, event, person, etc.
