Today is the day she may walk free. Prepare yourselves.
Call me Pollyanna, but the Judge did give FingerBoy 6 days. Hopefully he has scoured the law so she can cool her heels a little longer.
I’d like to see the judge charge her with the city’s costs in hunting Caylee. Also here in Alachua County they charge prisoners some kind of daily fee for being jailed, a few bucks a day or something. The judge cracked me up when he lectured and sentenced the kid.
Sounds so far that the jurors fell for the defense’s crap. Heard George is filing a complaint with the Florida Bar for the dude lying.
Wow, more coffee, html...not working.....over.
As tragic as this case is....A criminal trial is not about “justice for the victim”.
See Allan Dershowitz article clarifying out legal system:

He points out that our western justice system is founded on the story of Abraham who admonishes God to wipe away all of Sodom, the innocent with the guilty. God says if I find 10 righteous, I will not destroy Sodom...then God does not find the 10 innocent and destroys Sodom. That is where we get our moral code , “Better to let 10 guilty go free than condemn one innocent.”
Dershowitz says, “A legally proper result—acquittal in such a case—may not be the same as a morally just result. In such a case, justice has not been done to the victim, but the law has prevailed. “
I do feel Casey should be given the maximum for lying to the police, of which she was found guilty.
What the jurors were left with was a series of assertions by various people about this or that. Alas, they were unable to think about any of it ~ and as the two jurors who have spoken have let us know ~ none of them were very smart anyway.
Good morning, truth...
I, too, wish to thank you for these threads - especially for this case in which reason seems to have left the room.
It reminds of the way I feel when people say Barbara Streisand or Bob Dylan is a good singer - I just DON’T get it! :-) (Stsnding by for flames!!!)
Great to have an outlet to vent...
I agree...the jury was definately against George...and all the jurors who've publically spoken speak of George. It's beyond appauling... Going to work now so will miss the sentencing...Will check after 2:30 today when back home.
I saw the sign with duct tape over her mouth and nose as well. It said a lot with one sign! I wonder if they don’t sentence her to some time to “protect her”. Then they will release her in the middle of the night after the parents made new living arrangements. Just a thought.

Yes, 50 years of moral relativism come to fruition.
But hey, "the system worked."
Not true. The court asked them to leave early, a sheriff spoke to them and told them it was time,to try to get them out ahead of the media and crowds.
You gotta listen to the tot mom show to get ALL the scoop, lol...
What time is the sentencing?
Look up O.J. on Wiki and you will see what a thug he was and is. Only 6 more years to go O.J. LOL I think Casey is well on her way to surpass O.J.
The defense attorney said it best. “she is a lying slut.”
Maybe they are in the bar with the defense team, high five-in’ it and knockin’ back a few more...
Such a big win for justice - not!
Did you see that Juror #3 complaining about George not seeming to tell the truth? W T F!!!!!! What does that have to do with the matter at hand, the guilt or non-guilt of Casey? She was punitive toward the prosecutor because George was a prosecution witness. DISGUSTING! the way these jurors reasoned - and I use “reasoned” very lightly!
Did you see the one that said "Bella Vida?"
Anthony’s look chipper.
George may have been the “reasonable doubt” for the jury.
I think it is appalling to denounce the jurors. We still need to show respect for the jury system....unless we want a different system. You may not agree with them or their verdict but to start personal attacks on them is not right.
Thank you for informing me regarding that.
Who is there to speak for Caylee? Poor baby.
