Casey Anthony found not guily of murder

Re: Casey Anthony found not guily of murder

  • This seriously makes me sick to my stomach.  What in the fvck. This is really bad.  So no one gets punished for that poor little girl's murder?  If they don't think she's guilty, who do they think is?

  • BoyMom, I thought the exact same thing. WTF mate.

  • This makes me sick.  I can't believe she was found not guilty!

  • I agree she is guilty, but the prosecution had absolutely NO evidence to prove this.  Her mother lying on the stand didn't help things either.  A cause of death was never even determined.  Our justice system actually did work...the prosecution is to blame here. They did a sh!tty, sh!tty job.  He should be embarrassed.

    I agree. I think she's morally guilty, but the jurors made the correct legal decision.  Since neither side could prove the cause of death, there was too much reasonable doubt to convict her. I just hope she never ever ever has another child.

  • It just makes me sick, I can't even stand to look at that woman. Disgusting.
  • I am so upset about this.  It really makes my stomach hurt, but I had a feeling that this would happen.  I completely agree with Stripes.  I'm pissed at the prosecution.

  • Proof beyond a reasonable doubt, guess they didn't have it. I didn't follow this case. However, it is interesting to see how caught up people get because the media (and the attorneys) turned it into a reality tv circus.

    I can see your point on the murder charge, however, I would disagree that they had zero proof with respect to the child abuse/neglect and manslaughter charges.  I can't see any situation where admittedly not reporting your child missing for over a month can possibly be anything short of child neglect.

    Not guilty does not mean that she is innocent. It never seemed very concrete that she actually murdered her daughter.

    What if it really was an accident and she went into shock and didn't report it.

    Considering she spent those 31 days that her daughter was missing out partying, hanging out with her boyfriend, and getting a tattoo, I'd say she definitely wasn't in shock.

    Yes, but that isn't proof that she abused or murdered her child.

    I didn't say it was. I was just referring to Kap's comment about it being an accident and her being in shock. Maybe it was an accident--but even if it was, in no way was she in shock IMO.
  • Everyone reacts differently to grief. Some people withdraw, become obviously depressed...others act out, and do things quite a few shades wilder than they wouldn't normally do.

    Not saying she didn't do it. They just couldn't prove it. We can't go locking up people without knowing absolutely, 100% sure they did it. Prisons are overcrowded enough without us throwing in every "possibly" guilty person, too.

    And yes, I realize innocent people are found guilty. It isn't a perfect system...there isn't any way that it ever could be, because people aren't perfect.

  • I'm just going to say it. I find the general public's fascination with this case a little sick and twisted. 

    Thank you, Nancy Grace.

    Couldn't agree more.
