They were brainwashed by HLN. That type of coverage should be stopped.

Now the defender of the Constitution wants to wipe himself with the first amendment.

What a phony hypocrite!

since they are so upset about this verdict..and since they know for sure she did it—why not just have trials by internet polling, ie mob rule?

“Casey looked up how to make chloroform and neck breaking”

Yet there was no evidence presented to the jury that chloroform was used to kill the child or even that she died from a neck break. So, it becomes just a theory.

“Reasonable doubt”

That requires reasonable people - they seem to be in short supply these days

“Unreasonable doubt”- not difficult to inspire among stupid jury pool

Uncle Screwtape approves of the job done by the defense team and awaits Casey, wearing a millstone around her neck, after a bit more time here to engage in earthly debauchery

He fled Cuba which makes him ten times more of a anti-communist than your ass in Atlanta.

Did you even read the post you replied to? I never claimed that Baez was a communist - I was responding to a someone else that did make that accusation.

The grandfather has been around the block. He knows what his daughter got away with IMO. I’m not saying this to besmirch him. It’s just my take that having been a detective, he knows what took place and can’t win no matter what he does at this point.

Justice was not served in this case. Everyone except the kid has their situation taken into consideration. Who takes the kids situation into consideration. Evidently no one...

America has become more of a police-state because of the type of emotionalism we are seeing right now on FR.

Too many people (including FReepers, sadly) are willing to trade freedom for security.

Not me.

And the court will not release the jurors’ names! I wonder if there was any chance of jury tampering here? This is so bizarre.

Wendy Murphy says there is a lot of suppressed evidence; and she hinted at child porn, or “mob” involvement. ????
Is it possible that prosecutors could bring another case if they found that Casey sold any pictures of Caylee to pornographers. Like they used to put mobsters behind bars (Capone) on income tax could they put Casey behind bars on pornography?

Certainly, will she be brought to justice on all the thefts?

I am just sick to my stomach over this.

When O.J. was on trial Geraldo promised to shave off his mustache is he was found guilty. I wonder if her made the same bet this time

I would rather have a justice system that is run by—even poor-—juries than a police state or mob rule.

All those bong hits, had an effect.

Well, I wonder when was the last time that some citizen didn't like a verdict they were only spectators to and took the law into their own hands. I sure can't remember anything like that. I've seen all the lousy old Charles Bronson 'Death Wish' movies, but that's not reality.

It's like how people fatuously presume that child molesters will get their due in prison, when the fact is that child molesters do just fine in prison along with all the other child molesters. Prisons are filled with child molesters, even if that's not the crime they were convicted of that put them in prison.

Nancy Grace should be disbarred if she is still a member. As with the rest of the Puke lawyers on her and HLN’S slimy shows.

Lack of evidence. If this was a wrongful death civil suit they might have found her responsible, but for a criminal charge there just wasn’t enough evidence. Did Casey kill her daughter, even accidentally? Did the daughter drown? The evidence doesn’t distinguish. The evidence *does* point to someone hiding the body, but who the heck knows — maybe the family was afraid of being charged with child neglect. Sometimes a guilty person goes free. That’s how our system is: we consider it much more important to ensure that we don’t convict an innocent person.

Well, the whole deal revolves around the word "lack." There WAS evidence, but the question is, evidence of what? There was evidence of a deliberately buried body, a lying mother, who celebrated the loss of her daughter before her body was even found, and who did internet searhces for chloroform, and who had legal responsibility for the safety of her child.

1st Degree? 2nd Degree? Willful Manslaughter? Negligent Manslaughter? That's quite a spread of applicable charges, given the evidence. I just don't believe that what was found didn't meet ANY of them.

Or that (as has been mentioned in this thread) even a single juror didn't hang on letting her off Scot-Free (because that's EXACTLY what happened here).

She wasn't even guilty of child abuse? REALLY? It's absurd.

Unfortunately, she wasn't charged with that crime.

What evidence do you have to support she abused the child?

Not what you think, present evidence.

Maybe the prosecution should have charged her with what they could prove instead of going for charges they had no evidence to support???

Just a thought.

I am surprised by how upset many FReepers are with the verdict.

Seriously. Everybody's an expert and could have done a better job.

I am thankful the jury was able to separate emotion from evidence.

They knew Casey is a twisted f**k, but they followed the law.
