She’s innocent until proven guilty in a Court - not in public opinion. We’re free to speculate, query, wonder, ponder and opine all day long. Those of us who live here in Orlando have followed this case from day one. Some have followed more closely than others but we know the area, the weather, the local sheriff’s department and the ADA’s and judge in the case.

Casey got a fair trial with the counsel SHE requested in spite of her parents advising her more than once that she needed a different attorney.

Thank you for pointing out that the populace is not required to consider her innocent, only the jurors. Drives me insane when people try to say that.

Patriot, unlike you, many of us had already read so much of discovery that we weren't surprised by much during the trial. I had seen Casey's phone records, even the cell tower pings that tracked her movements during those 31 days.

We had read depositions from everyone who testified in that trial for the State. There was very little presented that we didn't already know. Nothing Baez said affected my opinion of the facts I had read. He tried hard, but really had nothing to work with. Think about it - his client lied to everyone for months - even changed her story during that time period before the child's body was found. She could do NOTHING to help him. They didn't come up with the idiotic "blame daddy" defense until this past winter. And in case you missed it, another girl in the county jail for some kind of traffic offense had lost her own son in a drowning accident. Her father had found the boy and carried him out of the pool. Of course HE called 911 - so that is where the story differed. Casey heard that story and decided to use that as hers. Just as she used the story from One Tree Hill about the babysitter holding her down in the park and taking Caylee.

“”and the ADA’s and judge in the case.””

Then you are the PERFECT one to answer my question. None of us have found the right answer here yet.

WHY are the prosecutors referred to as “state’s attorneys” and not Deputy or Assistant DA’s???? We all know the state brings the charges but we can’t figure out why we don’t hear the prosecution referred to as being from the OC District Attorney’s office!!! Is State’s Attorneys and not DA’s common to FL???

and the prosecution did their job and proved she is guilty of 1st degree murder.
