I will be the first or second to say this is a great idea!

ping

Now it starts!

That's what I don't get....Everyone says Casey was a good mother....over and ovr and over....

But what "good mother" fails to report their child missing???? How stupid can people be.

And she should have been charged with negligence!!!!

[kittymyrib]

Certainly a needed law. Also, it would be good to permanently ban jurors such as these from ever serving on a jury again. They obviously aren’t competent enough to serve.

[org.whodat]

Good common sense law.

[Egon]

We don’t need new laws. We need jurors that don’t believe that CSI is real.

[ThomasThomas]

I am sure there are laws already existing that could have been used but prosecutor wanted the grab gold ring. Laws written in response to events like this have been often poorly written and overturned by courts. Phrases like “or should have known” will not stand in court.

[RIghtwardHo]

Now THAT is a good law.

When I read the headline I felt fear but after reading the story I gotta say, this sounds like a good idea.

Here in Houston we have a whacked out mom that drowns her 5 kids in a bathtub, and she gets SYMPATHY.

So I have trouble understanding why everyone is so bloodthirsty for this mom...after all, she only killed one person.

[NonValueAdded]

I’m surprised that this isn’t already in the statutes. That said, this one is a no-brainer.

[jrd]

I guess next your say we should turn our kids over to the state to raise

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

It would not have helped Caylee...she was already dead. It will not fix anything. Feel good legislation, nothing more.

HEADS UP! Anthony’s attorney on Shep next.

[BykrBayb]

You mean the jury found her not guilty because there was no law specifically addressing her actions?

What she did was already illegal. We don’t new laws for every possible detail of every possible crime.

Why don't we all drop Mr. Hagar a quick email and thank him!

[goodwithagun]

While we're at it, why don't we pass a law making it more of a crime to assault or murder a homosexual. Homosexuals are only 1% of the population, but if it saves one life the law is worth it. I know! We could call it a hate crime law! Yeah, that's the ticket- oh. . . wait. . .

[jwalsh07]

Why another law? so they can acquit somebody else of another law. The aggravated child abuse statute already makes it a crime to act in a way that causes harm to your child. The jury ignored it. Many freepers ignore it as well. So just WTH is the point?

[mad_as_he$$]

Pretty sad to see so many “conservatives” buying all the hype and condoning a new nanny state law.

[ilovesarah2012]

Wouldn’t that fall under child neglect? We have enough laws. They just need to be enforced.

[MacMattico]

Casey is just crazy enough that she’d show up for the bills signing.
