Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty.
 
Wow..I'm not really shocked after considering evidence produced by the prosecution. Its sad at the same time no one has been held accountable in the case.

someonecompletelyrandom 07-05-2011 01:27 PM

Are you kidding me? The prosecution was weak. The motive was ridiculous and they didn't even attempt to back up the assassination of character they attempted. Not to mention the forensics were non-existent. To me, it definitely looked like an accident that the whole family was involved in covering up. But that doesn't even matter to me. If you don't have sufficient forensic evidence, you shouldn't convict. Period.

Janszoon 07-05-2011 01:35 PM

I think she probably did it but but I agree with Conan that, as far as I can tell, the prosecution didn't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. If I had been on the jury I think I would have had to find her not guilty just like these people did.

I'm sorry, that was my original thought also, I should have explained myself a little clearer:o:. I find myself wanting to question, "Would this have happened anywhere else in the world besides here in the states"? A no guilty verdict.

Thom Yorke 07-05-2011 02:18 PM

Right decision, and it's good to see the jury had their heads on straight. People are way too easily tied up with their emotions (although I can see why they would be watching those clowns on CNN give their views on the case). I thought Baez did a great job in his closing arguments outlining that.

The evidence just wasn't there to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she did it. Do I think she did it? Probably, but it's just pure speculation.

Sure , it would have happened the same way anywhere else in the world. As long as the jury was able to look past their feelings about the matter and stick to just the facts of the case

CanwllCorfe 07-05-2011 02:53 PM

Pretty much agreed with all of you. I can't say whether I think she did it or not because of the evidence.

captaincaptain 07-05-2011 11:17 PM

I already posted this opinion in a different thread, but this is a good example of our courts. It seems like the court of public opinion is way too strong in this country. 12 Angry Men should be shown to all jurors before trial.

No duplicate opinions!

I'm glad that MB seems to have a good head on it's shoulders about this. Seems like everybody is pretty emotional over nothing.

crash_override 07-05-2011 11:55 PM

It's another sad day for the American Justice System, no matter which way you shake it.

I can't say I'd have been happy if she'd been found guilty either.

I'm a little more optimistic as the verdict reflected the actual case and not the media scrutinization. Nancy Grace can eat a fat dick.

Pro-life people are always looking for an excuse to segue into abortion discussion. It's pathetic really.

Reasonable person: "Hey it's a nice day today".

Pro-life nut: "Yeah, too bad 3500 babies will be aborted by their whore mothers today".

Everyone within ear-shot: "..."

That's not from Facebook, but it's pretty fun to troll stupid people on there who deserve it.

Thom Yorke 07-06-2011 08:33 AM

It's pretty embarassing to watch people like Nancy Grace going on about this case. Why does it always have to be the loudest, most obnoxious people? No wonder there's such a public outcry over this when they're watching people like her every day.

I remember them interviewing some random lady on the street outside of where the defence was celebrating and she said they were celebrating the death of a little girl. Really?

Yes because with this verdict they are sending a clear message that they don't care about kids and saying it's okay to murder a kid and you will get away with it.

there's no better person to answer that question than me

here, because of the way society frowns upon unwed mothers and the constant need to force "fornicators" to marry, there's a propensity for newly born babies to be dumped everywhere

they are trying to implement some sort of DNA process to prevent mass infanticide but it's not really happening so.....

that didn't really answer the question though, would they have found her guilty or not guilty?

Me: I know, if we tried harder I'm sure we could abort ten times that amount, easy.

What I gathered from his answer is that she just wouldn't have been in the situation she was in and not gone to trial in his country?

Maybe?

His photo really made me laugh out loud given his statement.

Describes my feelings on the whole event.

even if she did, a few handsome bucks to a witness or the prosecution or the Investigating Officer (police) would get her off

Probably because a lot of them are people who haven't changed their style or way of thinking since the mid 90s.

But I actually like wearing a goatee. I used to wear one, and it seemed to please the ladies. But I always feel like I'm associated with douchebags wearing one.

I had a goatee for a long time myself, now I have beard. What I really want is a fu manchu but I don't actually think I'm able to grow one.

lol speaking of that, the patch of hair that grows under your lip. I call that the douchebag patch and ladies seem to love it for some weird reason. I usually shave it off every single time because it seems like it wouldn't be pleasant to kiss someone with that hair under your lip.

While I have a beard to go with it I still have that hair under my lip. Never had a complain or anything, granted maybe they were just being nice. Idk

I think it's just the soul patch by itself. Or at least for me, that's what I think looks super-weird. ****ing Billy Ray Cyrus has one, that twat.

Nancy grace needs to cover this story.

Some real injustice with the system but nope, not going to happen.

Interesting that nobody really has mentioned this. I don't think I can remember a murder case getting that much media coverage that wasn't about a cute, white girl. I guess nobody wants to be the ******* to bring it up when a cute, white girl has actually been murdered. Still, I would like to see some comment on the media cynically cashing in on someone's death while ignoring others.
