In the Scott Peterson case no cause of death was ever given or PROVED. She and her baby were found miles away from where they lived and their bodies were so decomposed a cause of death finding wasn’t possible.
The only difference in that case seems to be that Scott had an eye for other women which we saw with Amber Frye. So the motive there seemed to be established- but IF I’m the Casey Anthony jury my reasoning would be- so what- he had an affair- lots of men do but don’t kill their wives. Besides- if he wanted to be single he could get a divorce. Not Guilty.
That child was missing for 31 days without a peep from Casey until she was forced to make up yet another lie (the nanny) kidnapped her. Personally, I have always thought “Zanny the Nanny” originally referred to the giving of drugs by Casey to Caylee; as bad as it sounds her own private joke. Casey was a specialist at weaving lies into more lies which was pointed out over and over.
I also believe the jury was looking for excuses not to convict her. Casey was very lucky when this jury was chosen. They completely ignored common sense at the very least. They totally bought Jose’s sales pitch. Talk about being conned.
