Inn Illinois of all p[laces, a few years ago the governor commuted all of the death penalty convictions to life in prison because so many of the convictions were later proven wrong and several of the prisoners had to be released.
The judges and juries were convicting based upon outright lies from the prosecuters and/or the prosecuters withholding evidence.
The entire judicial systen was so bad that there was no confidence that any of the death penalty convictions were valid.
Trust me, it's coming.
Unbelievable...
>> No one is questioning the jury system in America but we are questioning the ability of this jury to reason and logically think through the evidence presented.
I understand the prosecutors failed to make a logical charge that could meet the strict requirements for conviction.
Abortion is murder. It’s legal killing. Ponder that.
I absolutely agree...
Okay, watching a bit of this woman juror’s interview on Nightline....she shouldn’t have done the interview, IMO (for her own sake)
Says when someone dumps a body like that, it shows your covering up something, but doesn’t show what you’re covering up.
Says George Anthony was clearly dishonest. I think this juror said she thought he was there when whatever happened, happened.
Prosecution didn’t even paint a picture on what might have happened.
Couldn’t convict because didn’t know a cause of death
Swiss chees holes everywhere in the prosecution’s case, couldn’t understand how chloroform was used - didn’t get the chloroform.
Terry Moran asks her about the duct tape - Well, yeah, it can look bad, it can smell bad, but you have to prove it.
This juror obviously listened to he defenses’s painting lots of pictures, but didn’t get it with the prosecution.
They should have asked themselves two questions before making the finding of Not Guilty.
1 - They know Casey lied about everything else in her life. Why did the jury pick that one statement to believe?
2 - If Calee drowned in the pool as Casey claimed through her lawyers, and it resulted in a family wide cover-up why did her legal team spend so much time painting the father and brother as incestuous molesters of Casey?
What would that have to do with a drowning and cover-up? Especially one where they were all supposedly cooperating?
I believe the bottom line is that the Jurors were too weak minded to deal with the stress of sorting truth from fiction and just wanted to take the quick, easy way out and get home ASAP.
I really hope they have nightmares over their abdication of responsibility,
Not true...
Unbelievable...
She should have kept her face out of view. Now her neighbors know she let Casey Anthony go free.
“I believe the bottom line is that the Jurors were too weak minded to deal with the stress of sorting truth from fiction and just wanted to take the quick, easy way out and get home ASAP.

In a few short sentences, that is the way I see it. I think they will all pay for this...Casey, the Anthony’s, the Defense team and the jury. Despicable behavior by all.
Please see post #75
Only a certifiable idiot could make a satement like that.
"We all joked."
Joked about what? About the dead baby? About how Casey would beat the system?
The defense lawyer will make a fortune in getting new cases because of getting Casey off, in spite of the arrogance of their team.
I watched that interview with this woman juror trying to understand the logic/reasoning. I’m open to the fact that they might not have been presented all the evidence that had been made public when depositions, etc. were released some time ago.
But, I kept trying to figure out what it would take for her to determine that a murder or manslaughter had occurred....I never understood what it would take.
I thought the prosecution had painted a scenario of what had happened. She indicated she had no idea what any scenario might be. Wasn’t one presented?
She said some jurors said no way Casey was guilty from the beginning of the deliberations.......that’s quite surprising.
Maybe the prosecution should have acted it out on a doll or something for a jury to be able to visualize what the prosecution was trying to prove.
She didn’t seem to have any idea of a possible motive. Just because someone’s out partying after their daughter is dead doens’t mean they killed their daughter. She conceded it looked bad, but......
These were my impressions after watching this interview.....may have misunderstood some of it, but it had me scratching my head.....
Then what could have possibly motivated a capital-punishment-ready jury to form such a knowingly unpopular decision?
I have a question for those who really kept up with this case. In the beginning didn’t cindy and her husband say they had been on vacation or something for the time that caylee was missing? wasn’t that their reason for not knowing that she was missing? and if that is true, couldn’t they have verified that thus proving that the father didn’t kill the child?
True, and Casey will make millions too.
But beware of the witch called Karma.
Poignant sarcasm.
;-)
One of my attributes/flaws is I am ONE SARCASTIC GUY!
“But, I kept trying to figure out what it would take for her to determine that a murder or manslaughter had occurred....I never understood what it would take.”
There are murderers sitting in jail even without the presence of dead body.
There have been people convicted by blood evidence alone - and by circumstantial evidence alone.
The difference being - other juries have taken the time to sit with the evidence and put the puzzle pieces together using basic logic and process of elimination.
