Tape may be released. Judge Perry will make this call.
Insessions message board and web sleuths had a lot if discussions on all aspects of the case. Goerge fell prey to an expensive Nigerian scam. Haha. That was in depositions I think. I know websleuths had every document and video released by ocsd and timelines and links to every interview and media report ect. They have a ton of stuff if you have countless hours to research. All fascinating. You will even find the interviews with cindys mom, emails to and from her and cindys brother who called Cindy and Casey for what they were and did.
Well, we’ll never know but...I still maintain he should put distance between himself and that crowd as he is young and can begin his life anew.
He isn’t working. Living off Mallory and likely unemployment waiting on the family payday at the expense of a child’s murder. That’s my personal take. I think he just parked cars for a living anyway. Can’t recall.
My friend’s little grandson is 12. I predict that when he is about 17, he will suddenly get a new little sibling. That will ensure another 18 years of servitude for my poor friend.
I don’t think this will haunt her at all. I think you have to have a soul, heart, and conscience to feel guilt, remorse- to be haunted by your actions. Casey has not shown me that she has a thought that goes beyond herself.
I do believe she is mentally ill, and that doesn’t excuse her at all in my book. It was ruled that she was sane enough to stand trial but she is far from sane. My mother was an indian and believed in evil spirits, and believed people could be taken over by them- if my mother had lived to see this unfold she would have said Casey was taken by evil spirits.
I can't believe the number of people on FR who think it's wrong to speak against this verdict. I would have voted GUILTY.
Yeah, I am still having difficulty seeing what happened. Watched all of the trial. Could not believe they didn’t even convict on lesser charges than 1st degree...
The defense had to put a reason out there for Casey’s bizarre behavior- abuse is one that most of us have been programmed to accept, especially sexual abuse. I have no idea if she was abused in any way by anyone but I know I was wondering how she ended up with the personality she has. She either has some sort of mental illness or she has had some sort of off the wall upbringing.
The Gladney trial should be investigated.
If you are referring to George; maybe he should think about leaving.
Now, now, we must respect the verdict of the jury. They found the thugs not guilty. Whatta you all want? A police state? /big old sarc tag LOL
Now that made me smile.
A lot of people around here hate the government more than they hate a baby killer.
There, I said it.

I'd like to point out one thing regarding the first Rodney King verdict.
When the police involved were first charged, there was great public outrage from local and national civil rights leaders, including Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
The problem was that the District Attorney charged the police with the offense that he believed they committed and that he believed he could prove. That was not sufficient for civil rights leaders. They wanted the police involved charged with the maximum possible charges that could be brought against police officers - the type of charges that would be brought if the police had shot or beat King with the intent to kill him.
There was some mumbling in legal circles at the time to the effect that "hmmm . . . that may be overreaching, because these police didn't know they were being observed and videotaped; if they intended to kill King, they would have done it." Now, those may not be the precise facts, but they're close and I'd welcome someone with better memory or the time to research it to chime in.
But the fact is that the District Attorney bowed to political pressure and very possibly overcharged the police involved. It was like having a suspect and evidence pointing toward second-degree manslaughter, but deciding to charge him or her with first-degree murder because of public and national protests.
The prosecution lost its gamble with increasing the charges. Commentators after the verdict pointed out that the prosecution had charged the police with an offense that may have been beyond what was done to King, no matter how horrific the acts done to King.
Would the jury have convicted the police on the lesser counts? I don't know. Racial prejudice could well have come into play, as we all know. But one thing is for certain - the District Attorney was coerced by political pressure into increasing the charges against the police officers beyond what many thought were the appropriate and provable charges. And the prosecution failed.
If you have that manslaughter-in-the-second-degree suspect and he's found not guilty when the states charge him with first-degree murder, it's fine for the public to be outraged that the suspect got away with second-degree manslaughter. But it's not fine for the public to be outraged that the suspect got away with first-degree murder. Because the suspect didn't commit first-degree murder.
That was the lesson of the Rodney King verdict, and of many other verdicts where prosecutors overreach on the charges . . . and yet the public is not prepared to listen to that lesson, much less learn it.
I welcome any comments on these thoughts.
Yes, they saw all the evidence and after all, we weren't there.
(Even bigger sarc tag)
You could be right. My feeling is though, sometimes what you’ve done in your past does come back to haunt you at some point. And you don’t have to be an Indian to believe in evil spirits. I believe in possession. I also believe a lot of truly evil people are possessed and Casey could be one. You don’t see that kind of coldness coming from many people.
