I have sympathy for the whole family.
I also have respect for the law.
This is America where you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
Yet it seems the whole country has turned into a lynch mob.
She was being tried and convicted before the trial even started.

There have been fist fights to get into the court room to gawk, TV coverage 24/7 with panels who try and convict her- who laugh and smirk and hope she gets death.
She's a young, attractive white girl. Game on- especially for the Libs. Get her.
Would this trial be this kind of sideshow if Anthony was black or Muslim? Not on your life.
You would hear next to nothing about it, and it would be highly unlikely that she'd get the supreme penalty.

Do you realize that race baiters would use your exact line of thought to say “if she was black, no one would care what happened to her child”..... this story isn’t big because she is white - it is big because she is a sociopath who lied without any emotion - for 31 days she partied while her child decomposed. It is a big story because those of us who have worked and gone without sleep to care for our children, nursed them through illnesses and cuddled then when they were scared or hurting, can’t imagine what kind of monster would act like Casey did. You can keep your santimonious “innocent until proven guilty” stuff for your possibly future professors after you graduate, pass the LSAT and then get accepted into a law school.

I understand what you are saying, BUT the jury is sequestered and immune to this mob mentality......we have not made a pledge to listen and not deliberate until it’s time. We are getting this negative testimony 24/7....it IS reaching a crescendo. Just remember.....the legal system works....it’s the best any country has. The only perfect judgment is when we face Jesus.

The judge is doing the best he can....the prosecutor and the defense attorney did as well. Now the jury will, without all the 24/7 news cycle influencing them. We have a great legal system.

Proofed guilty beyond a REASONABLE doubt, not beyond ANY doubt. If you had really taken any law classes at all you would know that.
In court when a witness is caught in one lie the judge can tell the jury they are free to discredit their entire testimony. I guess your entire testimony should be discredited.
