Verdict reached in Casey Anthony Trial

I don't believe him at all. I want justice for her daughter. Why he call it the way he did is his business, I don't care.

Oh by the way thanks, Good post!

He was present throughout the trial, you weren't. You have decided that Casey is guilty with no evidence to back such a judgment. You are a hair's breadth away from blind mob vengeance, not justice.

fortunately for the murdering mom they had no case. but the rest of us including most of the jury who found her not guilty know

Finally a rational thought! Too many bleeding heart pansies on here. The same pansies that made our nation weak! Good to hear from a bold soul!

thank you jango

You think you know, but you don't really know - you're simply projecting.

i guess youre right only casey and god truly know for sure. at any rate the month she spent partying, shopping and lying to her parents and the police are pretty suspicious activities following the death of her child but only circumstantial. but if someone asked me to bet everything i had and told me i'd double it if she were guilty or id lose it all if she weren't, id bet it all.

My *opinion* is that the whole family knows full well what happened to Caley, and that the truth is too terrible for any of them to admit it. That's not what I know, that's just my opinion. As for Casey spending that time partying and getting drunk (lying to her parents is not necessarily the case if they all have lied, that's a he said she said and not worth anything) it may very well have been a mechanism to dull and dumb the pain, the emotions, and for getting away from the reality of what had actually happened, for escaping from an unspeakable reality which is not by any means necessarily her guilt, but something far, far worse, and something unspeakable that the whole family is covering up.

if it were an accident there would be no need to hide the body and find escape through acting like an uncaring idiot. just my opinion. hopefull the truth will eventually come out

I didn't say anything about an accident.

and you were smart not to.

Then what should we be talking about??--

You're joking, right? Just about every other thread on this site has more impact on your life.

what's on today's agenda...Are we going to solve world hunger, climate control, or tackle this debt crisis? Because obviously the death of a child is just not important>

No, the death of a child is not important to me in any way - it happens hour after hour, day after day. Adults die hourly, children die hourly. Adults are murdered daily and children are murdered daily. It is a fact of life that will NEVER change. We, as Americans, are responsible for killing children all of the time in the wars we are involved in. Do we see any of that streamed 24/7 for months on end? No, we do not. Why is this worthless trash worthy of this type of coverage over any other deaths that happen?

The media makes the situations bigger than they should be. Look at any case involving not only celebrities but just common, every day people. It also sickens me a little when the media show just one missing infant, toddler, child, or teenager all day. There are so many missing young people. You see them on the walls of your local Walmart, supermarket, etc. Why should one young person get the attention of the whole nation?

I know. just because it's not your child you could care less. And just because bad things happen to people every hour of every day doesn't mean we should turn away when such a case is brought to light. Just think when your hour or your day may come, hopefully someone will say fuck you, now on to more important events.

Outside of my friends and family, I absolutely expect nobody else to give a shit about me and I'm good with that! Murdering your child should not elevate you to rock star status and get you millions from future media appearances and book deals. How about focusing on people who actually do something that contributes to the good of society? Nope, we'd rather show trailer trash woman who kills her own daughter to grab ratings. That is what I have a problem with!

Exactly!!! Now this witch will get millions in book deals and media appearances due to this ridiculous attention the media paid to her. There are an unlimited number of great people doing fantastic things to the benefit of others and yet they go totally ignored in lieu of covering pathetic individuals that commit these gross acts.

I some times think of Amy Fisher in cases like this. She had some made-for-TV movies based on what she did in the '90s. She became a porn star and is now on the show Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.

(edit) And my question is: Why is this woman garnering attention? Whatever pain and suffering she has should be dealt with in private. She served her time in prison, she seemed to be remorseful, and even she mentioned how the media just lambasted her and not so much the man she had an affair with. She was 16 at the time I think.

But back to the current event. What happened sucks and I wouldn't wish it on a child let alone the mother. If you want "justice" for the toddler then go do something about it. Foster children, donate clothes and money to shelters, volunteer. Do something other than rage on the internet.

Arizona_Huey, I totally agree with your comment. This lady shouldn't get one cent for this incident. The only thing that bothers me in this entire case is there is a baby dead, stuffed in a bag and thrown away like trash and the only real conclusion is "well, we'll never know what happened, duh"--I find that extremely unacceptable.

Seriously, I get that. What I was trying to elude to, probably a bit more bluntly than necessary is the fact that I don't put any more of a tragedy factor based on whether the murder victim was a child or an adult, white/non white, poor or rich, etc. In my eyes, they all warrant the same level. What really pisses me off is the ridiculous amount of coverage the media gives this case while totally ignoring others just like it or worse.

Very good point made but I'm gonna have to disagree with some of it. She should not be allowed to go under any circumstances if there is even a slight chance that she killed Caylee.

What about heaven... LOL Just kidding!

Wait a sec...I mean there's a chance YOU killed her. There a slight chance that literally anyone killed her lol. You can't really hold people based on that.

Your opinion is a fine example of why cases are not tried in the court of public opinion but in a courtroom by a jury of the accused's peers. It's not a perfect system but it's better than mob justice.

I hope Casey gets on with her life and lives it as a productive member of society.

Remember, "It is better to suffer an injustice than to commit an injustice."
~ Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace) 65 BCE - 8 BCE)

I somehow doubt that you would be saying that if it were your daughter.
If it were my daughter that cunt would have never made it to court.

I would have said the same thing no matter who's daughter it was. Vigilante justice is a synonym for no justice at all. If you murdered someone on a gut feeling you would have deserved being locked in a snug cell with Bubba for the rest of your life.

Our system of justice is not perfect but, it's one of the best in the world.

If Caylee were my daughter, I would have served justice my way since the leagal system failed and i would have taken the chance of going to prison.
Our system is the most flawed of all. That is why crime is more rampant in the US than most civilized countries. We are too far laid back. We literally need to bring back the gallows.

Vigilante justice is a synonym for doing the Justice systems job for it since it cannot be trusted.

Did the legal system fail or is your understanding of the legal system flawed?

"it is better one hundred guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer."
~Benjamin Franklin

The legal system is flawed.
I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with Mr. Franklin. But an perfect legal system would not need to worry about getting the wrong girl.

Not saying Vigilante justice is right, but when justice fails the victim then it is perhaps the only way.

Sorry but that is exactly what you are saying. Look at your previous comment and notice that you said;

"Vigilante justice is a synonym for doing the Justice systems job for it since it cannot be trusted."

I maintain my position that justice should be within the law. We are, and should remain, a nation that respects the rule of law and not a mob mentality of vigilante justice.

That is true but only because it is not made a public event. It did deter crime some when there were hangings in town squares. I am against the death penalty if it is kept hidden because then it defeats its purpose.

No, it seems obvious only to the mob of primitive individuals who want their pound of flesh at any cost, who cheer at executions even if the person is innocent, and who hate and deny justice.

You better not be implying that kind of person is me! NONE of what you said is true and you don't know anything about me so, stop getting personal, OK? This woman murdered her own child and the jury was too stupid to even see for themselves. Casey acted like a murderer, sounded like a murderer, had plenty of evidence against her, threw her entire family under the bus, lied about EVERYTHING and -- oh yea, HER CHILD WAS KILLED & SHE DIDN'T CARE!!!!!! Your false accusations and abusive remarks have nothing to do with the realities.

I obviously hit a raw nerve! LOL! You don't KNOW that this woman murdered her child, you just want to believe she did. As for the jury, they followed the law, they were not stupid - only stupid and ignorant people can think that the jury is stupid.

There are reasons for Jury trials and judges and evidence. Certainly mistakes are made, but much fewer if reasonable people review the evidence and confer fewer mistakes are made. I definitely wouldn't want to choose you as my judge. Twelve jurors sat and listened to weeks of evidence and made a considered decision. You think you are better placed to judge???

If you and Vierotchka are unable to see that if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck - it's a duck, it is no reason to turn on me! As a mother I am outraged that there is a dead child that this Casey person and apparently you guys, don't care about that. I followed this case very closely. There was no justice done just like the OJ trial and the murderer did not go to jail as she should have. I have a right to speak my opinion just like you do, as this is America. If you don't like it fine. There is no need to be personal, nasty and way too attached to your own opinion that you cannot allow for others! No matter what you say I have a perfect right to believe that the murderer, who lied about everything and clearly is uncaring about the death of an innocent little girl deserves to serve time for her psychotic and anti-social behavior. I am allowed to say that here and anywhere else I feel like. You can't change that so give up!

Sorry to burst your overgrown ego but there is nothing you can say that will hit any 'nerves'. I don't know you and therefore I just don't care enough to be that attached. Your choice to be if you want to! Umm, I'll break this gently.....this is the United States of America and I am allowed to have as much of an opinion as you are. You cannot convince me and I am not trying to convince you. Again - don't care enough! This is a simple forum for different opinions so there is really no need for you to act like it's a theater and like you are the only one who may be on center stage to speak. We all come here to express and relate in a civilized way. If you can't hack it like that as an adult, you may wish to try 'Fox News', Sesame Street or something more your style.

You and Jack Bauer I suppose,

You may be convinced that this is a miscarriage of justice, but I wasn't in the court room. I didn't spend weeks reviewing the arguments. There are a lot of times when I disagree with the results of the system, but I think it is more important that there be a system and that it gets things right most of the time. When the system breaks down then there is no justice, just revenge and occasionally regrets when it becomes obvious that revenge was dealt on the wrong head.

I happen to like the idea that if I were unjustly accused that I would have a chance of going free. I am quite selfish in that way. I also am not a real friend of revenge, it always seems like a waste of time when you could spend the effort emotionally and physically on trying to prevent other tragedies... I have yet to see revenge have any positive affect, though I admit it is a very emotional topic and hard to resist the temptation, it just doesn't work.

"This is the United States of America and I am allowed to have as much of an opinion as you are." You have a pretty big stage but you aren't the world. I can't stand "American Exceptional-ism". "I am right by definition! We are the greatest nation on earth!"
When will you wake up and accept that everyone should be judged by the same standards? Don't you realize that you are betraying your heritage by holding yourself to a different standard???

I am a sixth generation Californian and the earliest ancestor I can track down on the in the "Americas" is 1756. I may be wrong about you but the ones who are so fervent about "American Exceptional-ism" are usually among the first second and third generations. Yes you have right to an opinion, but please "This is the USA" is such a stupid argument especially when you are talking to the rest of the world..

Well, I happen to like the idea that a sociopathic murderer who killed an innocent child will pay for her crime by staying in jail, away from society. I feel sorry for folks like you who are not paying attention to the evidence, believe the lies, become entranced by a pretty face and fall for her act. Too bad she fooled you.

Look Pal, don't put your ugly words in my mouth. I never implied that - it all originates with you! My family goes back to the founders of the US, to Daniel Boone and other illustrious figures from early America, too. I don't wave the flag or hold myself to different standards, as you so venomously stated. I do, however, believe that we all have the right to speak freely. Your anger will not change that and neither will twisting my words for your own purposes. You are misrepresenting what I said to use my opinion to launch your own platform. Kindly stop twisting my words so that you can attempt to use them against me - it's not working! After seeing how thoroughly you are intent upon misunderstanding people I can understand why you are so upset at the smallest suggestion that Casey the murdering mother is really guilty. Like OJ, no doubt, she will mount an energetic search for the real killer - probably in every bar, beauty shop and mall in Florida not to mention her boyfriends house!! I trust that since you and I obviously disagree and have nothing else to say to one another, you will realize that this discussion is over!

So you were totally mistaken in your notions, your ancestors actually arrived here AFTER mine and that has proved absolutely nothing! You are no better than I am and vice-versa. Sorry to dispell the false idea of your own superiority. Perhaps you want to think first before publishing any more embarrassing 'revelations', put-downs, bits of hatred, generational prejudice and vitriol.

Oh too bad we are related, in my family they always said "uncle Daniel never was much account" but families are like that.

What would you put in place of the jury system?
What went wrong this time, A white girl gets a better deal than a black man?
The cops were incompetent?
The DA was incompetent?
Someone was bribed?
Other people (i.e. the jury) are just too stupid?

In the local bar (Nevada City, CA) they used to have a picture of a lynching and my great grandfather was on the ground part of the lynching mob. I think my great grandfather was a good man but we aren't really proud of that part of history.

So I guess that is the end of it. I am more afraid of the lynch mob than I am of the legal system making mistakes... It is all a matter of perspective.

OK - We'll all go with your opinion then ... will that calm you down?

You were KICKED OFF THIS SITE , you've been gone for years now and we're still here.

That must really gnaw at you every night when you try to lay down and get some rest doesn't it JJ ?

And like you are the go-to on criminal law. You are a banshee screaming, bullshit. You wanna be politically correct, and all you are coming off is cold, manipulative and callous. Could be why you are in support of Casey Anthony. Me, personally, I could care less about Casey Anthony. I know where all my children are. I have a pool, I live in Florida, I NEVER had a child fall in my pool--you know why?-Because GOOD parents, RESPONSIBLE parents TEND to their kids!! I am not saying accidents don't happen, but accidents are caused, someone is at fault, and even if we believe in our system of justice, this lady did a disservice to her child. She did not protect her. And for that, she is liable, and she should have not walked away scott-free. That is all I am saying. There is no need for lynch mobs, this lady knows the truth, or atleast someone does, and whomever has to answer for this crime will pay three-fold. What is done in the dark will come to light. We need to respectfully disagree, but you don't know it all either. So stop with all the flammable comments.

JJ???

Jay Jammer was banned from Current over 2 years ago for being the worst TROLL ever imaginable.

He's also notorious for opening up new accounts just to continue TROLLING like he's doing right now. That's what the word ASOCIAL means. He's mocking us.

te he he.

tl, exactly, this is the type of questioning that needs to be addressed. All we have to go by is lies. Casey, hasn't told not one real story, or atleast one that has confirmed evidence involved. As for the family, yes, they seem to have some issues. I don't know what to believe on the molestation, but, there are issues. Just speaking as a mother, first instinct is to protect your child. She didn't do that by any standards. Her child was thrown in the woods to rot. She failed Caylee. There may not be evidence to link her to a murder, but that doesn't mean she is innocent. But there is evidence of child abuse. No matter who could have done this, the father, mother, or the brother, including Casey, this child, living in this environment if you do believe there was abuse, was abused. And that is what I am saying. I am not an advocate for the death penalty. But, I don't feel comfortable that this lady is going to just walk in a few days and there are still unanswered questions. They need to question all the family about this possible drowning. They need to have Casey explain more. You know this is the end of this story. No one is going to pay for this crime. Casey is free, the parents are free, the brother is free, Caylee is dead. Three years later and no closer to the truth than if it were 2008. And as we have seen, no evidence of anything tying anyone to this little girl. And to say her mother is not responsible for her. It doesn't sit well with me.

I don't know how people can be so comfortable with "trial by media" because that is exactly what this is. WE did not sit on the jury, and WE do not know what the jury had in front of them or did not have in front of them. WE can not be sure of anything. WE can speculate, and guess, and curse out the mother, the brother, the parents, but the only truth WE actually have is that WE don't know. End of story.

thank you V

clowns are scary...YIKes!

Nonsense.
