A good read... ...but if you don't want to, DON'T.

Wonder how they convicted Scott Peterson with circumstantial evidence?

Because they had cause of death in the Peterson trial perhaps?

Laci Peterson’s body washed up out of the ocean....cause of death could not be determined due to decomposition and she was missing her arms and her head.....so no, they had no cause of death either......she could have fallen overboard in an accident for all anyone knows. oh, yeah, her baby washed up earlier nearby. Scot Peterson was indeed convicted on circumstantial evidence.

“”Leading me to Geraldo””

I took the time to look up info on his “legal” career....

He got his J. D. from Brooklyn Law School in 1969, did post grad at the U of Pa that same year and briefly attended Columbia U Grad School of Journalism during the summer of 1970.

AFTER A BRIEF CAREER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, where he served the NYC Police Dept., as an investigator, he RETURNED to law and became a lawyer for a New York Puerto Rican activist group, the Young Lords.. Now that’s quite a career in the legal field! He got a degree PERIOD!

No wonder he thinks Casey Anthony was a devoted mother. She managed to have her picture taken with her child.... BS loves BS....

Everything after 1970 was work as a journalist. Why doesn’t anyone ever call him on “I’m a lawyer.”

I have to wonder if he EVER passed the Bar exam! Didn’t leave him much time after law school when one year later he went directly into journalism. I would bet he never took the Bar exam.

AND I must add he has been married to 5 women - has 4 children with 3 wives and 1 with an unnamed woman/mother.

Enough already....this juror had his chance almost a week ago...

If I am not out on a squad call I will tune in....not to listen but to look...I am curious as to what they look like. They hide them all through the trial, now I can get a gander. Juror 3 looked like a loon with her babbling. Like you said....they got their say, now they don’t like the response from the hoi poi. Tough nuggies.

From what I understand it's just one juror....not all.

...and he's hidden

. and his voice is disguised....

Also, if you go to the Orlando Sentinel article about Greta's show tonight and read ALL the letters afterward.........you will feel very validated ....I certainly did.

Almost every letter, if not every one, as I read down, were from folks who said they would not watch Greta tonight...

..they didn't want to affirm her show or this juror by watching...

..they are still fighting mad about the outcome....etc etc.

I think just this juror and Cheney Mason will be on.

I'm not interested from hearing either...

Great calls juror # 11 a decent man.

Watch if you want....but it might just make you more angry.

“”Maybe if they had taken the death penalty off or even gone for just manslaughter there would have been “guilty” for some charge””

In spite of what our good friend Geraldo believes, they could have convicted her on the 3rd charge as handed down by the Grand Jury indictment - which carried a penalty of 34 1/2 months up to 15 years in prison.

There was a Special Finding to the 3rd charge:

They could have found-—that Casey Marie Anthony was/was not a caregiver for Caylee Marie Anthony at the time of the offense-—. It was on their verdict forms - tied to the Aggravaged Child Abuse charge:

(Grand Jurors) “”upon their oaths do present that Casey Marie Anthony, between the 15th day of June, 2008 and the 16th day of July, 2008, in said County and State, did willfully or by culpable negligence, in violation of (blah blah statutes), while a caregiver to Caylee Marie Anthony, a child under 18 years of age, fail or omit to provide Caylee Marie Anthony with the care, supervision and the services necessary to maintain Caylee Marie Anthony’s physical and mental health or fail to make a reasonable effort to protect Caylee Marie Anthony from abuse, neglect or exploitation by another person, and in doing so caused the death of Caylee Marie Anthony.””

Now in my opinion that would have fit very nicely. The prosecution wanted the death penalty so didn’t concentrate on the other charges which would have worked. It would have kept her off the streets for maybe 15 years but she wouldn’t have been found “not guilty.”

Gerald says she was a devoted mother and Caylee “loved her” so she MUST HAVE BEEN the caregiver!

Heck - I could have been on the jury and slept through the whole 30+ days and I could have found her guilty on that 3rd charge!

My bad.....you will hear his voice....

...but you won't see him and you won't be given his name.

If he's so proud of what he did....why hide.

The trial really had nothing to do with guilt. It had everything to do with Jose selling that jury; which he did. He made the prosecutors look like bullies. Jose made it personal and damn the evidence.

When you watch Greta van Susteren, you don’t hear anything except her constant interruptions.

“”Juror 3 looked like a loon with her babbling””

But weren’t you impressed that she’d had her hair done from just a day or few hours before her first appearance?

We want to toss around ideas on your new thread - how about this one?

We ask all future jurors on a murder trial who they voted for in 2008 and who they intend to vote for in 2012? It can become the new “law” for seating jurors so even our children/grandchildren/greatgrandchildren can see how these kind of decisions will impact their lives and futures!!!

That is certainly interesting. I thought I read on one of these threads that all the prospective jurors were asked their political affiliation. I wonder if that is true?

I've also read that they are "all democrats." Have no idea if that is true either, but they sure think like them, IMO.

I’ve known this for possibly 3 years now. The press never picked up on it. If you can, go back and watch all the jail tapes of Casey with Lee, George, and Cindy in them. They are constantly talking about places to look and sometimes it seems Casey is talking in a sort of code knowing she’s being taped.

I believe Lee was eager to start his PI (heh) career and wanted to find Caylee’s remains but NOT to alert law enforcement. Just the opposite. He (and Casey, too) wanted to move Caylee’s remains or hide them or destroy them. (Where do you think they got the bright idea to accuse Roy Kronk of doing this? It came about because it was their original intent to remove and hide the remains. Obvious really when you think it through.) No remains, meant in Cindy’s mind no murder trial.

That’s the same reason Cindy told Tim Miller to search in this place and that place but NOT EVER on Suburban and to only look for a live Caylee. She did this because she didn’t want someone else finding those remains.

That is why when Tim Miller told Cindy he was looking for a dead Caylee she told him to get the hell out.

That is also why she sent Hoover and Dominic Casey digging around on Suburban...there was no psychic really. IMO that was smoke and mirrors. The jailbird Casey must have dropped a better hint about where to look but those 2 bozo’s wouldn’t look very hard and so Roy Kronk found the remains again a month later and the trial Cindy never wanted to begin got it’s start.

Just want to add the Juror 11 was the Foreman. He is the 33 year old white high school gym teacher.

Juror #12’s husband has chimed in and said she quit her job frying chickens or whatever at Publix (a supermarket) and is in hiding. He claims he misses her.

I have only seen portions of a couple of those jail conversations, but I did notice in one Casey said several times “I feel she is close to home,” or words to that effect. Am I right about that?
