Ok, first of all, I said I didn’t follow the CASE closely from 2008 until now....If I said “trial”, please forgive me as the TRIAL didn’t start until a month or so ago and I said I didn’t follow it AT FIRST...but after seeing how things got started, I began to..... I also admitted that I missed parts of the meter reader story and asked for clarification on that. I also said that I was a little confused on the number of chloroform searches....

You then say that I asked for A LOT of clarification on basic facts. Well, if 2 things = A LOT in your opinion, then ok....but most people don’t see it that way, so please don’t misrepresent what I said. You also said that FReepers were happy to oblige. Really? No one ever answered the meter reader question, unless I somehow missed it. Would you mind pinging me to the post because it isn’t showing up on my “ping” page and I have just now gotten a response about the 84 searches, until a few minutes ago, though, no one had answered. So I think you may have mixed up the questions that I asked with someone else. If not, again, feel free to point me in the right direction.

I also do not believe that I presented any evaluations that I may have regarding the strengths/weaknesses of the state’s case as superior to others, as a matter of fact, I very openly stated a couple things I thought were weaknesses presented questions for me BECAUSE I missed some of the info (meter reader)....

I understand that people will disagree with me & with the jury, and with a lot of other people. That’s not what bothers me. The attack on the jury bugs me. The people telling others where they find pictures of the jury & even the identities of some, when they made it clear they don’t want to be identified yet, bothers me. The fact that those jury members will be hounded & death threats made on them & their families bother me. That is NOT America and it messes with the very foundations that our nation was built on.

And just because one watched every minute of the trial & followed the case so closely, doesn’t mean they all agree. There are several who actually agree with the jury. So your whole premise, there, is incorrect.

I take issue with you comparing anyone who’s had an abortion to this woman who had this child for almost 3 years and dumped her rotting body in the woods while she laughed and partied! While I am not an abortion advocate by any means, there is a conceivable difference between the two. It is human nature to form an attachment to that which is visible and understandable. Like it is easier to form an attachment to somebody you have gotten to know rather than someone you pass by on the street. Many women who’ve had abortions and went on the have children afterwards would NEVER again make the same mistake of abortion. IN A LOT OF CASES IT IS A CRIME OF IGNORANCE. And what this Casey Anthony did to little Caylee was not out of ignorance:( She had witnessed her little smile, hugged her, smelled her and watched her little personality develop. There should have been a bond there.

Here’s Gonzales on video at the Attorney’s offices. Single mother of six. So if Casey does come into any money Gonzolaes will likely have first dibs... Good for her!

Apparently Casey got her name off the list of people who toured the Sawgrass apartment’s.

Casey best not have anything out there that the Feds could get her for.

There was a case in Kentucky a long time ago where a man killed his girlfriend after she broke up with him. He was taken to court by the state with circumstantial evidence.

The jury found him not guilty. After the trial, the man moved from his house and the new owners found videos of his sexual abuse of this woman under the floor boards.

They called the police and turned over that evidence. The state could not retry the man, so the feds were able to bring the man, that all knew was guilty, up on federal charges.

He was convicted and had to serve at least 20 years for the federal case.

Casey better be careful here. It ain't all over until it is over.

Doubt Casey Anthony has any assets for Zenaida Gonzales to go after in a defamation suit, unless there is a judgement against future assets (I don't know anything about how that works).

Agreed. Any human being with a modicum of common sense knows she is guilty, at the very least, of child neglect/endangerment which lead to her death. WOuldn’t this have fit under the manslaughter charge? I guess we cannot put anything past our fellow Americans when it comes to stupidity and lack of reasoning. Obama, Schiavo, Fast & furious, etc etc and now this. Cue twilight zone music....we are in it.

My personal opinion (FWIW) is that whatever had been simmering in that family exploded on or about the 15th and that went to motive (as opposed to Casey living the party life). The more I read, the more I am convinced something happened between Casey and Cindy which sealed Caylee's fate.

Cindy knew that as well. "Jealousy has taken her away. Jealousy from the one person that should be thankful for all of the love and support given to her. Cindy might not have known Caylee was dead, but she did know why Caylee was gone. God only knows what happened and what was said that evening. I am beginning to think Casey snapped and it was a rage killing.

I read a quote from Cindy's ex-sister-in-law which stated [paraphrased] as far as Cindy and Casey were concerned, the apple did not fall far from the tree. I believe it.

BTW: Posting this link for those that may have missed it.

If that idiot juror # 14 is indeed the pulse on what that jury was thinking, Lord help us. They had concrete evidence presented to them that this mother lied and obstructed justice, was the last person to have the child in care, had the smell of death in her car, carried on as if nothing happened when her daughter went “missing” and yet they decide, without any evidence at ALL that George Anthony must have done it because it just SEEMED like he was lying! Cindy perjured herself on the stand, that was proven by the state in rebuttal, yet the jury focuses on the fact they just didn’t LIKE George’s demeanor. Combative they called it. Well, wouldn’t you be combative after being drug through the mud blamed not only for molesting your own daughter but covering up her murder?!

I read through some of the jury instructions. Looks like they had some choices there. Someone told me the prosecutor expected this. IMO, when you deprive people the chance to go drink beer and blow things up, they still find a way to blow things up. Who wants to do jury duty over the 4th of July?

Here’s a link to those final jury instructions.

That’s just great! Love it. Maybe her parents can sue, too! Take all the money the little monster owes them.

"To believe Casey Anthony was not guilty of any of the above offenses, let alone 1st degree murder, would require someone to suspend all level of common sense."

In your closed-minded opinion. You have less evidence than the jury did, and all 12 found her not guilty. You're being a sucker for the media - THAT is what requires a suspension of all common sense. But, you're safe...most of America agrees with you. But, then again, most of America voted for Obama too.

Yes, my understanding of your posts - and I could be wrong, I am not going back to check 2600+ posts - was that you said you did not follow the TRIAL that closely. I read FReepers' answers to questions posed by you and I also saw some people go off on you. I do know as pings fly back and forth answers are passed the original poster, etc., so maybe some questions/answers were posed THROUGH you and not TO you. So, as you say, it is quite possible I could have mixed up someone's questions with yours. My memory is that you asked many questions, as have I, and my memory is usually pretty good. But again, I am NOT wading through 2,600 posts to prove a point.

As for the rest of your post, I don't think my initial premise was wrong at all. Obviously you don't agree, and that is fine. But you commented and I answered and that's the name of the game around here.

I’m still feeling sick about this. No one on that jury wanted to look over the evidence? I doubt they even deliberated! I always wondered why more jurors weren’t taking notes, especially during the forensics stuff. What a bunch of idiots!

But, IF somebody else DID do away with little Caylee while she was under her mother’s care, is it just coincidence that Casey didn’t want Caylee found and even lied, for over 30 days, to avoid her being found? What are the odds that someone would kidnap and kill your child and, you don’t report it or even act like anything negative happened at all? What are the odds that would happen?

Fortunately, I can say that I purposefully did NOT pay attention to the jury. So when these mindless lunatics play devil's advocates can accuse me of being part of a 'lynch mob', I can without 'doubt' state I know nothing of who this jury is. For the time being I intend to keep it that way. The prosecution presented to me all evidence I need to find this lying, stealing, killer, GUILTY and of the means and methodology of how that tiny helpless little girl ended up in the local garbage swamp.

I found the 'defense' left wanting when they accused George Anthony of molesting his daughter by putting his ..... in her mouth, before sending her off to school. There was NEVER ever one shred of evidence presented this ever occurred.
