So that’s #14?

He was interviewed , said there was
No motive, no dna, no supporting evidence put on by prosecution.

a commentator somewhere said ,, ‘The jury watched too much CSI.’ They wanted a nice clean gotcha.

I haven’t checked stats but I bet Florida rates high on violent acts committed against children stats. With juries like this..

“While the family may never know what happened to Caylee Marie Anthony, they now have closure for this chapter of their life,” said a statement issued on behalf of Casey Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy Anthony, and her brother, Lee Anthony, by their attorney, Mark Lippman. “They will now begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.”

“There are no winners in this case,” Baez told reporters after the verdict. “Caylee has passed on far, far too soon.” He said his motivation for the last three years has been seeking justice for Caylee as well as Casey Anthony.

“Casey did not murder Caylee,” he said. “It’s that simple. And today, our system of justice has not dishonored her memory by a false conviction.”

Another defense attorney, J. Cheney Mason, said he hopes the verdict “is a lesson to those of you having indulged in media assassination for three years.”

******

They are across the street from the courthouse partying.

In otherwards, to him, Casey walks not because of evidence, but to make a statement about the death penalty.

This man should have never been picked for this jury, even as an alternate.

I wonder how many more just like him sat on this jury?

Speaking of Susan Smith she is requesting a new trial in the DROWNING deaths of her 2 sons because her stepFATHER MOLESTED her as a child. Sound familiar?

Imagine for a minute, just for the heck of it, that the many FReepers who you think don’t understand our legal system, DO understand it, having heard your cliche filled explanation a thousand times, and understand what you fail to understand, and that is how deeply flawed it is, how corrupt it is, to cite such cases as this, the Duke case, the O.J. case, the latest DSK case, the numerous Spitzer cases, John Edwards’ legal career, and more than any of the above, the Amirault case. Try defending the Amirault case.

When I first heard the verdict I was stunned. Now I think I am now becoming depressed over the verdict.

...a commentator somewhere said ,, ‘The jury watched too much CSI.’ They wanted a nice clean gotcha.

Judge Jeanine Pirro is saying that, too.

The media keeps saying, as do the Freepers,

“We’ll never know WHAT actually happened to Caylee !!!!”

Well, then you can’t convict anyone of murder.

You may have an idea, an opinion, some feelings, some conflicting evidence.....but it hasn’t been proven what actually happened...And on THAT basis you convict someone of capital murder???

The jury had the same question....”What really happened to Caylee? “ and they came back with “we may never know.”

I had no idea she was appealing her case..well no wonder..she will probably walk free too..poor Susan Smith, she was molested too, so she gets a get out of jail free card. She should have said that the car floated into the lake by accident and didn’t report it because she was scared

Casey will find that the verdict won’t protect her from the shunning of society.

Well what did we learn? If there is no DNA then there no case. If you bury the body in shallow grave in summer it deteriorates quickly. Lie and obfuscate. It will be so much harder to convict now. Common sense has been thrown out the window, juries are stupid.

You laid out a scenerio in 2120 where the jurors were pursued until they finally got run to ground.

I’m not at all familiar with the court system, but I can’t imagine that the court would be deaf to the jurors reqeust to be left alone.

That’s where the sheriff and the stalking laws would come into play.

From your posts, you’re letting your emotions run ahead of your commonsense.

My heart goes out to you, I don’t know how you could have endured that...but people do somehow. Just as Casey’s folks have.

The heatache and pain they cause to families is astounding to say the least. And as I understand there is no cure and little if anything that can be accomplished working with them.

Casey’s not at all done yet with the trail of broken lifes she’ll leave in her wake now she is loose. And this is usual for sociopaths.

Isn’t there a difference though between a psycopath and Sociopath? I think so...have to check.

Criminals everywhere will know to throw their victims into water..that way no DNA evidence can be found..for those who say “There was no DNA evidence in this case” DUH, it was because Caylee was in murky water for MONTHS..what did anyone expect to be found after months and months floating in murky water
