Casey Anthony trial
- Thread starter Kreskin

It seems all too easy to blame them when in reality their job was one that no one would want . IF they did not see enough EVIDENCE to warrant a gulty verdict with a death penalty ..... it is better than them making up evidence or reading it the wrong way.
Presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. ( beyond REASONABLE doubt.). The system worked......and yet the lynch mob is loaded for the kill. Maybe this mob would like a different system .... one where you have to prove your innocence. and leave out the "beyond reasonable doubt" .
Isn't the law what separates us from barbarians ,lynch mobs and other dastardly forms of "justice"????
If the jury is feeling sick over their verdict, they knew that something is wrong with their decision. Why didn't they put more time into the task and ensure that they were confident in their decision?
You know what is kind of sad ... Ms Anthony doesn't seem to understand how much the general public disagrees with the verdict. She showed up for sentencing half believing that she would walk out of court that day. She was as dolled up as she could be given that she's been living in solitary confinement for 3 years. I half suspect that, in her world, she expects to emerge from the jail as some sort of celebrity to the cheers of the crowds. She may even think that all the fuss that will be put into safely removing her from the jail is an attempt to thwart her moment of glory.

As long as people are commenting on this disgusting skag, she will be under the impression she is some kind of celebrity.
I think she expects to waltz out of prison holding her head up high as a victim of the justice system. I think the extra days on her sentence are to assimilate her out of the jail without her being like Alex, in Clockwork Orange, who could not survive in the world that he so eagerly exploited and indulged in prior to imprisonment.
But she's not a celebrity. She faces additional charges and fines that she cannot pay. The offers have dried up, although Cindy Anthony said something about a book deal in NY. No one wants to have a child with Casey Anthony under these circumstances except someone that is equally dangerous, seriously desperate, or mentally ill. She will be the on mocking end of society for the remainder of her life - and deservingly so. When she walks out of jail, she's probably thinking something along the lines of ... she's a celebrity, she had a million dollar offer for a porn flick, she'll be rich even though that offer dried up ... she won't be prepared for being shunned, alienated, betrayed ... a pariah with nowhere to party - for the rest of her life.
Actually, perhaps I shouldn't be so confident. She's a chameleon that changes her stripes according to what she wants from someone. It worked with the jury. Perhaps she will continue to find fools to exploit ... but I think that she will probably have to murder again to hide her secrets when they unravel ... and we know they will.

Of course she's a celebrity, you can't stop talking about her.
Maybe not everybody, but look at the ratings of court tv, 'the bachelor/bachelorette', maury povich, etc etc etc.
There seems to be a huge number of people who want to be on these reality shows, and a bigger number of people who want to watch them.
Sorry to disappoint, but I have no ability to turn some trashy, talentless, murderous, angry high school drop out into a celebrity. I'm sure there is no shortage of people like Casey Anthony that would be happy to star in a porn flick for $1million. Would more people want to watch Ms Anthony, with her skin picking problem, than a real porn star? I doubt it ... but that's not my thing, so what do I know.
.........yep.........they want THEIR kind of "justice". Not the civilized kind.

They suspected her of the murder. But were hamstrung..........because the EVIDENCE did NOT add up to premeditated Homicide / let alone the death penalty. More time would NOT have provided more evidence. Why take more time and waste money when they came up with the only REASONABLE verdict they could.
Does not matter what the gut , instinct , feelings seem to indicate. Those are NOT FACTS. And we are very fortunate to have a legal system.... that still follows the rules of the LAW.
Wonder how much the lynch mob would like if the rule of the law , and the system was thrown out , in favor of mob tar and feathering , lynching. Burning at the stake. , and other atrocious methods. Given their behavior , that is what they seem to prefer. UNTIL of course THEY are the ones on trial for some crime. That is when they suddenly become very legal and RIGHTS minded.
the stench of hypocracy in this mob reaction is over powering.
For those that want her blood, hide and body parts as revenge........is that what you would want should you have a legal problem???
I have to disagree that the jury took the time they needed to arrive at a verdict that they could live with. We've heard that the jury was sick over the verdict, and that the foreperson was uncomfortable with putting his signature on the verdict sheet.
It seems that in a celeb oriented culture .........where the media goes nuts over anything dramatic & sensational.......and this behavior ir reinforced ....the majority is that shallow.
look at the crap on TV. It starts with toddlers and Tiars and goes downhill from there. You think these parents are not part of the celeb culture?? There are line ups of kids (and parents) wanting to get their 5seconds of fame . ( some even get some fortune)
Shallow is only part of it. Shameless is another.
Ask any person that has been "interviewed" following a natural disaster for example. Their moment on the Telie is what they will talk about for their remaining lives. The natural event almost becomes secondary. In many ways this is almost "human nature"
Making the RIGHT . LAWFUL decision is not always a happy one. Would they have been happier declaring her guilty without the evidence to support it??? Is THAT right??
The EMOTIONS have gotten control of far too many now........and those emotions are preventing folks from being logical / objective as the law requires.
Woud you have felt better if they took a much longer time and came up with the same verdict?? Would it have made any significant difference??
Spot on, Ten Penny.
If the jury is returning a verdict, but they are feeling sick about their decision, then it suggests to me that they are not comfortable with their decision. I think they should have continued to deliberate until such time that they could deliver a verdict that they felt comfortable with.
I think the strangest thing I've heard from a juror is that the case was circumstatial so the prosecution didn't present a case. They were very definitely waiting to see a video of the murder.
Well. If there had been a video of the murder, their job would have been done for them. In this U-Tube world..... some unrealistic ideas seem to be coming forth.
the FACT remains. No one KNOWS for a FACT what really happened to Caylee. All we have is a lot of suppositin and hot emotion. and neither is part of a proper legal system.
It WAS circumstantial. The prosecution presented what it had and it was not enough. So that juror is technically correct.
There was plenty of evidence to convict her. They got snookered by the Defense. They didn't see Scott Peterson killing his wife and they fished Laci from San Francisco Bay. How do you think her remains looked?
That's where you're wrong. You keep talking about her, discussing her, etc.
You, and millions like you, make her a celebrity.
If you, and millions like you, paid her no attention, she would not be a celebrity.
You are doing what CourtTV wants you to do - become part of the star-maker machinery. Ratings, Viewers, Celebrity. That's how it works.
If nobody pays attention, there is no celebrity.
