“Baez also claimed that Casey Anthony’s father, George Anthony, found the body in the backyard pool and indicated that he helped dispose of the body.”
The above statement could only have been made either in the opening statement, which I believe it was, or in the closing argument to the jury.
Neither of these are admissible as evidence. The jury must make its decision based on evidence, and there are strict rules as to what can be submitted as evidence.
Actually there was no evidence presented by either side as to cause of death, when and where, who did what.
I realize that more than one murderer has been convicted without the body, but hopefully in all of those cases there was better supporting evidence and a better prosecutor who could tie it all together.
Perhaps the prosecution should have waited, even if it took years, until they had a better case.
Actually, one of the jurors said today they “thought it was a horrible accident” and that “ something weird was going on with the father”.
In other words, going on the opening or closing statements of Baez, not evidence.
This would make it murder 1. : Causing the death of a minor through aggravated child abuse. Also, Xanax is expensive and Casey was broke. Also, you can build up a tolerance to Xanax so that it doesn't work anymore. So the child would not fall asleep with the usual dose after a while. So you move on to chloroform. Sick.
You are right....the jury system was sabotaged by the public school system controlled by Marxists/unions...which put out complete idiots. These children who become adults who are put through Dewey’s conditioning program are as dumb as stumps.
The lawyers are indoctrinated by atheists/Holmsian law which is not connected to morality....Absolute Truth and God-given rights. They no longer go after truth—they go for the money and the reputation. Our legal system has been corrupted by the secular/humanist/atheist/progressives/marxists/socialists....whatever you want to call those evil bast*rds. They are truly evil—the ones who deny God and that our rights and duty lie with Him.
Double jeapordy. 5th Amendment.
No testimony that directly accuses of murder. So the prosecution never had a witness testify to the same theory they had about duct tape being the manner of death. The duct tape was only the State’s theory of manner of death.
SO on target! Funny, too. Look how it ties into the whole distribution-of-wealth, you’re-okay/I’m-okay thing. This jury leaves the impression that it felt it was empowered to forgive! that mercy was within its purview to grant! Not only were they utterly incapable of differentiating EVIDENCE from whole-cloth CONJECTURE, they couldn’t even choose from three possible homicide levels. So much for all those “critical thinking” skills the NEA touts.
And for a lawyer to assist in weaving the fantasies and lies of his client—whether to advance himself, mitigate his client’s culpability, or to promote his views on capital punishment—HAS to be the height of unethical behavior.
This verdict is only one consequence of the state of education here. The lack of shame is another.
In 2007 there were 398 homicides recorded where the victim was 1-4 years old. This is from the CDC.
I wonder why there weren’t a few of them in the national media like this one.
Answer: Casey Anthony case was picked up by the media because of the mass appeal of it’s storyline: a pretty girl from the suburbs who is a wild party girl mom kills her cute baby and goes on partying.
Oh, of the 398 homicides of 1-4 year olds in 2007, 48 were by the discharge of a firearm, 350 were homicide by some other means.
Just for consideration...
Perfectly logical destination of the Roe v. Wade slope.
The case was tried as a Capital Murder case. Tell me what proof was presented that pointed to Anthony as the murderer who should be subject to the death penalty? There wasn’t any. The prosecution MUST prove the case “beyond a reasonable doubt”. They didn’t do it! Remember, she was found “not guilty”. She was not found “innocent”. There’s a huge difference.
Remember this ?
Jan 23 2009: Casey Anthony’s father, George Anthony, is escorted to a hospital by police after he allegedly sends suicidal text messages to family members.
Makes no sense at that point in time if Casey is the killer and he suspected that since he found gas cans that she “stole” from his house back in July of ‘08. When he “looked in her trunk to find a tire tool ?” when her car was parked at his house.
If he was so sure Casey killed Caylee all along, why is he feeling suicidal a few weeks after the body is found in the middle of December right by his house ?
Or did he not think she was the killer ? Why would him and his wife not testify and be part of Casey’s defense if they think she is innocent ?
Just seems odd to me...

Casey Anthony Juror: ‘Sick to Our Stomachs’ Over Not Guilty Verdict
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2744900/posts
That’s what I was thinking. I don’t think she purposely killed the little girl. I think she wanted it both ways. To be free and still have her little girl. I have a sneaking suspicion that her father knew what happened on some level. It was probably after the fact. Just guessing.
I forgot about that, your right. I'm pretty sure chloroform is what they gave me when I had to have 4 teeth pulled, in the 60's. Was getting braces and they needed to make room in my mouth to move my teeth. When I woke, I felt a bit sick and woozy. The nurse told me to wait until I got outside and then take a couple of deep breaths. I did and yacked all over the sidewalk.
I don’t guess there is any difference legally, but at least the “not proven guilty” carries the stigma that they think you are guilty.
i have often thought of the hell this baby could be going through before her mom killed her.
was the entire jury made up of idiots?
Me too!!! Poor baby girl, I can’t even imagine. I have a feeling Casey was a daddy’s little girl who could do no wrong. Perhaps spoiled and no one becomes that good of a liar without lots of practice and somebody believing everything you say.
I just agree with Mr. Miller that all sorts of alarms should have went off with the 2 year old missing for 30 days before the first call went out to the police.
I can't say the mother is guilty of anything. I didn't have privy to the trial day in and day out and it would be ludicrous for me to assume she was guilty after 12 peers found her not guilty of the charges other than lying.
Anyway thanks for the reasoned responses. Have a great day!
There is obviously something all of us are missing, having not been there or privy to the entire trial. But the verdict certainly gives a reasonable person cause of pausing and wondering what the logic was that sold 13 people that the prosecution didn't do it's job!
“In 2007 there were 398 homicides recorded where the victim was 1-4 years old. “
Excellent point. We have become a dumbed down pop culture when we feel emotionally connected to just one death because it is on TV when there were hundreds more.
