This won't be popular, but to keep someone in jail for all this time is unconstitutional. They have no case. They have been waiting, trying to manufacture one. I don't know if she is guilty or not, BUT it has to be PROVED in a court of law not the court of public opinion. Trying people in the media and denying them a speedy trial is justice denied. If PROVED guilty, she deserves whatever she gets, but from what I have seen in the press, they just don't get there. Suspicious circumstances? Sure. PROVING murder? I doubt it.

Our system is set up to try to protect innocent people from being wrongly convicted, even if it means that sometimes guilty people have to go free. This is how it should be. Should she go free, her life is ruined. Where can she live? Where can she work? She has a life sentence already. God will decide her real fate and punishment in any case.

This trial will be a circus. I just hope justice prevails, not vigilante justice.

IIRC, one of the first things defense attorneys do is waive their clients' right to a speedy trial..............

From what I've heard and read, they have a great case. There is no need to manufacture anything. Casey's team had delayed as much as the judge would allow, thus she has been held. They tried to delay again today.

Seriously, have you not paid any attention to this case? The information already reported on claims they found the duct tape and exact plastic bags the poor child was found wrapped in under the sink at Casey's house. There is NO explanation for her not telling anyone the child was missing for a month. Prior to that, she was claiming to be working and had the child with a babysitter - however, there was NO money to pay a babysitter because she didn't have a job at the time. She had no one she could point to who was taking care of the baby while she was supposedly working - where was this child all that time? She was getting up from the boyfriends bed, dressing for work, claiming also to be a college student or a graduate, depending on who she was lying to at the moment. No sitter, no money, no way to pay anyone, child not with her or her parents - she had been abusing that baby for months, possibly years before the child went missing. Proof? Prior abuse, missing child while she parties, car trunk smells like a dead body, she has googled how to make or obtain chloroform, chloroform traces found in trunk, child found wrapped in items found in her home.

How much more proof do you need?

Not really.

Especially since her defense team quit/was forced out and new counsel had to be seated.

Should she go free, her life is ruined. Where can she live? Where can she work? She has a life sentence already.

If she is willing to kill her own flesh and blood for her advantage, what will she do when she is out again? Play nice?

God will decide her real fate and punishment in any case.

That applies to everyone without exception. So, why have a justice system at all?

Is this your opinion on all criminals? Should bin Laden have been allowed to walk free and wait for God to judge him? How about child molesters? Do you want Mumia released? He's been in jail a long time - should we let him out? Manson? Casey shows the signs of being a sociopath - lies to anyone about anything for her own gain. Who in their right mind would lead police detectives to the Disney grounds, down a hallway to her "supposed" office when she didn't even work there? Can you even imagine someone doing this? She literally directed them to drive to her building and walked down a hallway before finally admitting she no longer worked there. Why? What possible outcome did she expect? She wasted time, lied, then threw temper tantrums when her lying wasn't getting her the usual result of getting her parents/others to back off and let her do what she wanted.

The defense is looking for people exactly like you today!

People who have no clue.
