Holy S
So, she lied for the fun of it? Casey Anthony not guility of murder, manslaughter but is guilty of lying to the police on several counts.
Re: Holy S
Major WTF. So maybe she herself didn't commit the crime, but she is lying about something. I don't understand the logic at all.
Meh.
Can't say I followed even one minute of this trial.
There was solid evidence proving that she lied to the police (re: her employment at Universal for example).
The evidence on the charges of killing her daughter were more circumstantial and I think the defense did an excellent job of planting doubt. This shows how the burden of proof (beyond a reasonable doubt) is so high for the prosecution in criminal cases.
I'm not too emotionally invested in this case, but do find the verdict interesting. I haven't followed enough to have formed any sort of solid opinion on her guilt or innocence.
Poor little baby
I think it's odd that Casey's parents didn't react AT. ALL. to the verdict.
Casey will lead a terrible life full of judgement from everyone in society. It's not like she'll walk away and go back to a normal life.
Listen to this.
I can't see YouTube at work. But lack of concern and being a bad mom =/= murdering her kid. I'm not saying she's innocent, but I really don't think there was enough evidence presented to convict her.
Thank you for clearing things up for me. You're right. I guess I'll just stop being angry about the verdict.
Can someone explain to me why this trial is SUCH a big deal? Seriously, I don't understand, but I would like to.
Yes, it's completely terrible that the little girl was murdered. That is of course gut-wrenching.
But, unfortunately, she's not the first little girl to be murdered.
So why is this case such a national sensation? Please explain why it's different!
And Tigers, let me guess, you've been following coverage of the case via Nancy Grace?
Completely agree!
Yes, I have TONS of time to sit in front of the TV and watch Nancy Grace reiterate the same sh*t over and over for several years.
I have heard bits and pieces of the case through the news playing in the background or in passing or on my morning radio station. So, I guess since I didn't do any detective work and produce any evidence, I am not entitled to state an opinion nor am I entitled to embrace my maternal instincts and know something sounded off?
Like whoa.
I think because the girl was missing for *31* days before the Casey told anyone. Then it was a fire storm of "Where the heck is the baby?!" and "Why didn't Casey tell anyone she was gone?!" and "She told us she was with the nanny, but the nanny doesn't even exist!"
LMAO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I *heart* you, Tigers.
P.S. We all know if we DID have time to sit around and watch T.V., it'd be Real Housewives of SomeRandomCity. Definitely not Nancy Grace.
Lol-ing still.
Thanks for the response. I guess that helps explain it some.
