“The sheriff held the news conference to defend his investigation and because his office had been besieged with interview requests since the verdict.”
Could he be trying for a retrial, goaded by public response to this very public trial?
“She stunned prosecutors during the trial when she testified that she had done searches for chloroform on the family’s computer. Prosecutors believed, along with sheriff’s investigators, that Anthony had performed the search.”
Wow, if what I search for is admissible evidence, I’m doomed. Imagine if you were accused of planning a WMD attack, and they found all the stuff you looked at to learn of the Amerithrax case, and whether or not Ivins was guilty? Or all the firearms related searches, or “birther” searches?
Yup. It is indeed admissible evidence. Always has been, as I understand it. Just like what magazines you have around, or what books you check out at the library.
Given the wild variety of stuff I search for, I could probably be charged with an amazing variety of crimes.
Everyone familiar with the case knows the mother perjured herself in an effort to save her daughter - that is no doubt why thet decided not to prosecute.
The sheriffs’ office should be looking into jury tampering instead of wittness tampering. They jury didn’t spend enough time in deliberations to do a serious job.
And too many jurors changed their votes from guilty of manslaughter to not guilty in a very short period of time.
Now those speaking out are saying they have remorse over their votes.
What went on in the jury room?
Who was twisting arms and why?
I am a curious person and if I read or hear something and it interests me at all or I don't understand it I do searches. My computer is likely full of suspicious searches about nearly anything you can think of and some you can't. I have been stunned by the spotlight on the searches...really. I could be made to look very guilty...of almost anything if my searches were looked through.
I was wondering the same thing. If this is proved then Casey could be retired. And it might not be they are being goaded. I thought the jury did this in record time and what I’ve heard from the few jurors that have spoken is seriously lame.
Ok I’ve done searches like you wouldn’t believe. Looked up everything(been on the net since 1995). The internet is like having an encyclopedic. I’ve never looked up anything about making chloroform. Never had a child missing for 31 days and didn’t report it. Never had several people say that the car smelled like chloroform.
