Casey Anthony trial starts today...*Found not guilty*

I was having a good time, till the Holiday Inn Express lawyers started in.

Sure you do. If you believe the defense she drown at the family house on June 16th.

Or, if you believe the expert testimony of someone who works in this field and has years of experience, Caylee was murdered.

Where and when does not matter. Where and when does not change the fact that it was murder. Those are nice details but not needed.

Again I ask, has there never been a conviction based solely on the knowledge that a murder occurred without knowing when, how or where?



It's going because you keep saying that you have to know when, where and how. It's not Clue. If someone is murdered, how it was done, when it was done and where just doesn't mean anything.

So in this situation, you have two options. Caylee drown as the defense claimed or she was murdered as the expert testimony says. Those are the only two options.

If you go with the defense, there's a whole new can of worms you have to dig through. Like, how did Casey find out about the drowning? What did she do with the body after finding out?

If you go with murder, then you just need to determine if Casey was responsible.



I don't think the jury plans to profit off it, although I have seen one guy (an alternate) give two interviews since.

If you don't know what happened.. you have no case. Take all those details and sum it up like that.

In your own statement you admit the defense and prosecution have different claims of how she actually died even.

So basically you're telling me no one knows what happened, and no one knows if she killed the kid or not either.

No case.. period. Moving on..

There's no way that guy is a 1L. I just finished my 1L year. There is no way. My head is literally about to explode.

She gets out next week.

Can't wait for all the disgusting press she's going to get.

I cannot wait till some nut treats her like she did her daughter.

She gets out next week.

Can't wait for all the disgusting press she's going to get.

With all of the highly emotional / inflammatory press coverage, seems like she'd be at risk of being targeted by some unstable crazy person.

 

[Reality]

Still not evidence. I don't know how many times I have to say it, but opening statements are NOT evidence.

I think he knows that since he stated that the defense said they would prove it during the trial.

What I was saying and what he also mentioned is that the defense attorney made a claim that the father was involved and also molested Casey as a child and that is why I asked if the prosecution could (not would, but COULD) go after the father as a way to later try to get the defense lawyer reprimanded or sanctioned.

Now, I am in no way suggesting he should do that nor do I even support that line of thinking because the defense attorney's job is to win his client's case and that's just what he/they did.

The prosecutors are taking and will continue to take a lot of heat for losing this case even though the people behind the investigation are where most of the blame resides. The prosecutors can only go to trial with the evidence the investigation provides.

However, given the fact that the prosecutor and defense attorney got into shouting matches at each other in court to the point the judge had to halt proceedings, you can understand there may be some spitefulness built up in the prosecutor's ego after losing what most through beforehand would be an open-and-shut guilty verdict. Hopefully that will not be the case.

Going after the father as a means to get to the defense attorney is going to open up the prosecutor to a grievance. You don't prosecute someone for any reason other than because you believe that they committed the crime in question. If they think Baez acted unethically, then they should file a grievance against him. Prosecuting the father without believing he did it makes them no better than they think Baez is.

Nah. Anyone who would let Nancy Grace whip them up into a homicidal rage has got a screw or two loose.

I'm not sure who that is but just the smug look on Casey Anthony's face today would probably be enough to make a sane person beat her to death, made me want to.

I'm glad that those who adamantly denounce murder are willing to commit it.

What's that quote about casting stones again?

:laugh2:

Again ...... sickens me to see people defending that murderous wretch.

I hope someone ties her up and throws her in an ant bed.

Who's doing that again?

 

[zrinkill]

Who's doing that again?

The two or three people saying she is not guilty and justice was served.

 

[joseephuss]

The two or three people saying she is not guilty and justice was served.

Other than me jokingly saying she was innocent I don't think anyone here said she was not guilty.

 

[peplaw06]

The two or three people saying she is not guilty and justice was served.

Well, the jury found that she was not guilty. Are you talking about them? Or are you talking about the people discussing specific points of law and its practical applications in this thread without knowing whether she did it or not?

Who has said "justice was served?"

 

[zrinkill]

justice was served. I know that's hard to swallow, but you can't convict if you have no evidence.

Well, she wasn't guilty.

Did you miss these?

 

[peplaw06]

Did you miss these?

It's true. It's a shame for the little girl that this remains unresolved. But the jury system is set up the way it is, so that those who are wrongfully accused get justice too.

It's also sickening to me that what is probably the best justice system in the world, that is there for the protection of all its citizens, including you if you ever need it, is so derided by some of you.
