Moron.
“I haven’t the slightest idea of who killed her.
Moron.”
LMAO!!
Give it up...some of these people are clearly morons. The Confederacy of Dunces is alive and well here on FR.
There has been an ugly strain of libertarianism alive and well here. It’s not conservatism, it’s not even true libertarianism....it stick it to the government even in cases like this where the government represents attempting to put a murderer away for killing her own child.
“Yeah we got you evil government”
yeah...they showed the government alright.
C’mon, cv.
The State did not prove who killed Caylee.
Or how and when she died.
We are left with certain evidence that does not prove who did it.
You would have to make a leap of faith to make a charge of Murder 1 stick with the case presented by the State.
Casey is innocent until proven guilty.
The jury spoke—they could not make that leap of faith.
I disagree with them only on the manslaughter charge, because the circumstantial evidence presented indicates a degree of complicity on Casey’s part.
You hold a different view, and that’s fine.
But I have been a juror on a case where the State did a pisspoor job on a case that would have sent someone to prison.
I threatened to hang the jury, and I had to have the foreman request a re-reading of testimony twice, that my fellow 11 jurors misheard. We reconvened in court two times, and I was proven right both times.
The State appealed to the jury to make a leap of faith that the evidence did not support in my case, and I was not willing to do that. It scared me that there were 11 people who did not listen to the testimony when a person’s freedom was at stake.
End result, the person was acquitted of two felonies, but convicted on two misdemeanors for which there was sufficient evidence.
Justice was done. And that was 30 years ago.
So, like Vermont Lt. says—this kind of thing happens every day in courtrooms across America.
You can only decide a case on the evidence presented, not on what the prosecution asks you to make of that evidence.
The truth will come out eventually. It always does.
