My husband was saying that none of us know what was happening in that jury room. A deal may have been struck from the beginning that they take a vote first thing. If most of the folks were leaning toward letting her off, then they all agree to let her off.
They wanted to go home, that is after they had breakfast and lunch, of course.
You could be right. My hubby says let her loose; so she can begin her road to hell. He says she will end up a druggie doing pornos.
I haven’t read any of the thread yet- just got here- but I read another interview last night with juror #2 who said the first vote was 10-2 not guilty on 1st degree murder. The closest it seems they ever got was 6-6 for manslaughter as they went through the charges.
Since she gets out next Wednesday this may give enough time for emotions to cool off a bit- but she’s still going to be haunted/hunted by some whackos for the rest of her life. I saw one young man interviewed on CNN at the Courthouse- he’s carrying a sign that says “Marry Me Casey Anthony”...he’s going to show up at the jail next week with a ring (he says). Normal looking kid- you wouldn’t look at him and say he nuts. It didn’t SEEM to be a prank.
Casey got away with killing her daughter. I often wonder what the Orange County police officer (later fired) who decided NOT to go a little deeper into the water off Suburban Dr. 3 years ago this August thinks about...how he sleeps and if his inaction has changed his life in any way.
