I agree, this woman is a selfish , lying woman.

However, our legal system is NOT about justice in a particular trial, much as we want that. In some cases, we end up with justice, sometimes we don’t.

The Legal system is about providing a fair, open examination of the evidence as to WHETHER A PERSON IS GUILTY OF THE CHARGES.We don’t have to find out the “why” the person did this, or the character of the person...those that may be part of the trial. We only have to have the prosecution Prove to a jury beyond reasonable doubt that the dfendant is guilty OF THE CHARGES.

That is one reason we have open trials and all the Miranda stuff, defendant’s rights, evidence specifics, prejudicial evidence. We will let 10 men go free rather than convict one wrongly.

The alternative IS mob rule or a dictatorship or even a military trial. We no longer have the “stocks” women were put into for being a bad person, or wearing a scarlet A for adultry. Casey WILL be shamed, no doubt.

It IS sad that the little girl won’t have her killer punished...but so far, according to our jury system, we do not have the answer to that. That is part of the intense reaction. We want this person punished.

“We don’t have to find out the “why” the person did this, “

And yet, according to one report I heard, one of the idiot alternate jurors said Casey was not guilty because the prosecution failed to prove her motive.

Recovering Ex-Hippie, I agree with about everything you said.

but.....:-) .........After getting a synopsis of what the alternate juror said, it "seemed" that the jurors couldn't get past the dysfuncitional family dynamics and didn't focus on the actual evidence/details of the case. For the alternate juror to not even believe there was decomp in the car was unbelievable to me. Granted, I did not smell it....I did not hear everything that was presented....but the dog hitting on the car( one with a good "resume") was pretty damning. The grandmother calling 911 in a panic saying it smelled like a dead body had been in the car was pretty damning.

I think a lot of people are reacting to the shame that a jury can be presented with clear evidence but react more to the crazy dysfunction presented by the family, themselves (and totally blown out of proportion by the defense) is concerning. It seems they paid more attention to show, not evidence.

LOL, just saw a clip of the defense team "partying" across the street from the court room in full view of all cameras. PUTZES.
