I think what saved her was the Prosecutor was worse than her defense attorney. The State had NO evidence and NO case.
Just suspicions and you don;t execute people on the basis of suspicion - at least not anymore.
That Tax Dollar wasting Prosecutor should be FIRED.
I agree, the state had no case for a first degree murder charge. If the state had gone with a lesser charge that carried a lesser penalty, they might have gotten a guilty verdict.
I think that Baez as much as said this in his rant against the death penalty.
Casey Anthony was indicted by a Grand Jury, not charged by the prosecutor.
This isn't evidence:
Also new is the work of University of Tennessee's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in which air extracted from the trunk of the Anthony car revealed human decomposition and the presence of chloroform.
Traces of chloroform were also found in Casey Anthony's car trunk, and evidence was found that someone had searched the Internet on her computer for the use of the chemical and how to make it.
Throw in the fact, she was out partying down during the 31 days Caylee was missing and there isn't any doubt this witch murdered her daughter.
