The Casey Anthony Trial
How closely have you been following the events leading up to the trial now? Do you think she's guilty? Would you give her the death penalty?

Re: The Casey Anthony Trial
I definitely think she's guilty, but I don't think they'll give her the death penalty. I can't remember the specifics, but I think it was going to be hard for them to pinpoint how the murder occurred, which determines whether it's eligible for the death penalty. There's a lot of circumstantial evidence in this case, it's not all so cut and dry. I just don't understand, and I'm sure reasonable jurors will agree, how did she not report a missing child for a month, especially when she said a babysitter kidnapped her. That makes her look even more guilty to me than the partying she did while Caylee was "missing." (I obviously don't think she was taken by a babysitter, but that's still Casey's angle).

I didn't know that. How sad.

I have a tough time on deciding death vs. life w/o parole.
Morally, I'm not opposed to the death penalty, but I do think it takes away the element of suffering once the guilty deceased (if they go to hell, it doesn't, but I believe in repenting and forgiveness). Part of me would love for her to get life in prison w/o parole so she thinks about what she did for a long, long time. However, that also costs tax payers lots of money over their lifetime, which I'm not real keen on paying for her 3 meals and bunk every day for the rest of her life.
I'd have to make this decision based completely on the law and facts, not an emotional motherly "how could you kill your child" feeling. After her trial and sentencing, if I was a juror, I'd then decide.
Actually, the death penalty is much more expensive than life in prison. I was a criminal justice minor in college and took a death penalty class as an elective. The cost is one of the main arguments of anti-death penalty advocates.

I am not sure she would think about it the way we would want her to. There is just something about her that is not remorseful. Im sure it is really wrong of me but I kind of hope she gets life and the prisoners take care of things a la Dahmer.
Which is why we need a more cost effective means of death: FIRING SQUAD!
