You know what bothers me..., why would the mother lie to the four or so officers they convicted her of lying to, if she didn’t have anything to hide? Evidently the jurors had no clue.
Why would she not call 911 when she found the kid in the pool? Once again, the jurors had no clue.
Why would she be motivated to get a tattoo heralding ‘the good life’, when she was supposedly distraught over her missing daughter? The jurors had no clue.
Why wouldn’t the fact she actually thought she was living the good life, not be seen for the motive it was? The jurors don’t know.
Why would the jury ignore the grandfather’s own testimony regarding the smell of human remains emanating from the trunk? He was a detective, and knew that smell from his experiences on the job. Well, why should we fret about this. There’s nothing to see here, move along, move along...
This looks for all the world like a classic case of juror misconduct to me. It’s like they weren’t even paying attention to the case. There’s too many incongruancies for this woman to be guilty of nothing except telling falsehoods.
How do you only spend nine hour ‘max’ determining that this woman was essentially guilty of nothing more than fibbing?
I guess they thought she just lied for the fun of it. She didn’t call 911, because she didn’t want to be seen as a conformist. She got that ‘good life’ tattoo because life goes on, and you can only mourn so long. Hey, it was just a coincidence that the grandfather smelled that unmistakeable smell.
And besides, they’d been under wraps for 30 to 60 days, and it was more important to get back home than spend more time on this inconsequential matter.
I can see a juror or two coming to this conclusion and deadlocking the jury. It is unfathomable to think twelve of them could ignore all this and rule for innocence.
You could very well be right. Perhaps nothing will come of this. I honestly don’t know. What I will tell you, is that if something should happen, it will be of no note to me. It will be something that I saw coming a mile off.
If it surprises you, that’s okay. I’m not here to lay blame at your feet in any way.

Apply your same logic to the Valeria Plame investigation that led to the Scooter Libby conviction.
You can't think of any reasons at all where an innocent person may not be truthful/accurate to the police?
Brilliant anaylsis..spot on..you could also add why didn’t she take the stand..
I don't know. (*Shrug*)
What I do know is that nobody who values their life and liberty will harm a hair on this Anthony woman's head. They'd be convicted quickly, unlike the acquitted Casey Anthony. There'd be no red herrings for a defense to capitalize on like swimming pools and Internet searches about chloroform and sexual molestation and the family dog, and so on.
Unfortunately, and classically, the sign of a pathological liar is that they lie when there is no reason to do so. They have no ability to differentiate between telling a truth and a lie. In their lies, there is often a grain of truth, but they build a made up story around it. They purposely muddy up the waters so that they can never be accused of anything, let alone something as grave as murder.
Having lived with a pathological liar, who was also a narcissist, I know that it is impossible to explain their reasons for lying other than to say it is a mental dysfunction. Half the time they don't even realize they are lying. They just say what comes into their mind at the time to achieve whatever goal they have at the moment.
When confronted with their lies they often become very confrontational. If they suspect anyone of lying to or about them, they go ballistic. Casey Anthony displays all the signs of the most severe case of being a pathological liar and a narcissist. But, in the murder of her daughter...she was not proved guilty...because the defense just could not put her at the scene, with the murder weapon (tape/chloroform) and at the time of her death.
I think the investigators did not strongly and deeply enough follow the trail of how that child died, which I believe was truly an "accident" as Casey claimed. It is my feeling Caylee's death took place when Casey took her to be used in a very immoral way as described by that woman, Wendy. I think there is a ring of perverted people engaged in sexual use of children in the area and that Casey is hooked up with them in some way and has made money from offering her daughter. Chloroform and duct tape were probably used on Caylee to keep her quiet, and from remembering the horrid experience. Too much chloroform, or long enough covering of duct tape to stop her breathing, could have resulted in her death...and, Casey described it as a "accident."
Not wanting her parents or anyone to know of her activities in pimping out her daughter for such perverted benefit...she did not mention Caylee's absence to her parents for a month, and then made up a variety of stories. Anything but the truth. Long enough for the body of her daughter to decompose in the plastic bag in the swamp. Once fully decomposed...the evidence of any sexual abuse was gone. Now she can say she did not actually "murder" her daughter, and in actuality she is not lying. And because the investigators never pursued anything other than finding or proving Casey guilty of murder, the real story of how Caylee died will never be known unless someone else who was involved in pimping out children speaks up.
Had the police pursued that possibility...had they worked to find an underground ring of perverts who pimp children, use chloroform to keep them from remembering, and duct tape to keep them quiet...I think the charges against Casey for Child Endangerment, Accessory to a Crime, Child Abuse, and similar could have been brought and Casey would have been found guilty.
