Morning all, didn't see a thread for today so I created one.
Good point, I look at the baby, and I see a child that wasn’t just murdered one day, but I see a baby who was abused on a regular basis by the mother. I get the feeling that the baby was mistreated reguarliy by the mother, just based on how the baby acted. It’s strange, but I think that Casey was never a good mother, I think she was mean to the little girl the whole time, only when no one was looking. The little girl looked like she was being mistreated to me. It seems that the little girl was bothered, just the look in her eyes, she wasn’t being treated right, even while her mother was a so called good mother. There was pain in that little girl’s eyes.
Did you think OJ killed Nicole and Ron?
Shocking, isn’t it??
Sorry, society is dangerously dumbed-down. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
I stand corrected on my comment.
I believe he was referring to elected officials, you are correct.
I will go on record I don’t want ‘professional” jurists.Who decides who gets to be on a jury? Will it be a jury of my peers? Would they have a vested interest to obtain a number of convictions/case or lose their jobs?
Thanks, but I have enough “professionals” interferring with my life.
This was hardly a jury similar to the OJ jury...and besides, we don’t know if WE were on that jury ( and we are very smart) that having seen everything, maybe we would have voted the same way.
******************************
They did. This was an incompetent jury.
Did he really? I don’t remember ever hearing that.
I was thinking along other lines.
Seriously?? Really??? After that winning, brilliant rebuttal yesterday? The jury are all Dems. Look ‘em up. Disgusting travesty.
Yeah but an old time saying is: "Kill them all and let God sort them out." the hint is lets give Him an early start.
I guess it’s time for me to say my piece.
Because I’ve been following this case right along and it’s kind of tough looking back, knowing how it unfolded, then to see it end like this.
First, I agree, reluctantly, with everything in your post. We’ve had endless hours of analysis by various pundits/lawyers/self-important drek. The jury was provided only what the law allowed.
Further, I kept getting continually shocked by the prosecution of this case. beginning with the shocker that they went after first degree murder.
This caused Cindy A to lie on the stand I think, because while I too have a granddaughter around Caylee’s age, and I’d be furious, beyond mad, knowing my daughter killed her, I’d sure wouldn’t want to get on that stand and testify against my own child, to an end of having to witness HER put to death.
It seemed like a bad strategy right from the start.
I don’t think Casey intended to kill little Caylee. Casey is not too bright, one of the dimmer bulbs in the lamp you might say. But if she plotted to kill Caylee surely she’d have come up with some kind of plan to dispose of the body besides driving around with the body in her car until it stunk so bad she had to abandon it. Surely she’s have a shovel handy to bury the body. Surely it wouldn’t have come down to just throwing the child’s body in the woods. Seems to me Casey, a dimbulb bear in mind, wanted to bury the child like her family had buried their pets.
Of course this is what I think happened to Caylee. I think Casey wanted a night on the town so she administered chlorphorm to the tot, covered her mouth so she couldn’t shout out, and left her in the trunk, to awaken when Mommy’s party was over or it was time to go to Grandma’s.
This is my speculation, just bear this in mind. I don’t know much more than anyone else but based on having witnessed the events as they unraveled and the testimony, this is how I think it happened.
Casey was so overwhelmed by what happened that she just, ladida, drove around town with the body in the car, not knowing what the hell to do with it. She tried to borrow a shovel from a neighbor to bury the child in her own yard but that was too much work.
Casey was in over her head which doesn’t have to be all that deep to begin with.
Events and life interfered so she just lied to her parents and lied to the cops and lied and lied and she lies quite well for such a dimbulb.
thus I think the prosecution did the big mistake by leaving the death penalty in the deal. However unlikely that may have been, it did kind of present a big challenge for the prosecution to prove that dim Casey premeditated the child’s death with no thought of disposing of the body, with no DNA, with no traces of poison in the car’s trunk. The prosecution had this great big charge out there and what they had to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt was not all that reasonable.
I never once bought into any kind of premeditation on Casey’s part but I did so believe, as above, she tried to come up with a way to shut the child up for the night.
Also the prosecution left Casey’s parents with the possibility of testifying against their own daughter that might eventually have them watching their child die.
I know a lot of you will huff and puff and we’re all big bad freepers after all, and claim you’d turn on your child in a minute had she killed a beloved grandchild but seriously, maybe Cindy thought Casey accidentally killed Caylee and it put a bigger burden on her to lie. Given the same set of circumstances, I’d never want to witness my daughter’s death by state needle, especially based on my testimony. The notion gives me the willies.
So right there you had the prosecution fighting its own witnesses for God’s sake.
The prosecution should have sought an appropriate punishment for a mother who did a rather silly thing by trying to chlorofom her child for a night’s rest. There was way more evidence that fit this template. And assuming that my scenario is right, ever important, Casey shouldn’t really spend the rest of life in jail, much less get the death needle.
The prosecution just threw everything at the wall and by me those jurors weren’t buying it. And hey, I listened, compelled, to the defense’s summation and they did one damn good job, like it or not.
They planted reasonable doubt all over the place as I see it. Had there just been an accidental manslaughter type of thing on the table the whole character of this case would be different.
It;s like the prosecution was appalled by Casey’s slutty lackadaisical behavior with the death of her child that they felt like she deserved the needle just for that.
the punishment should fit the crime and the prosecution wanted her punished for a crime far more heinous than dimbulb Casey actually committed.
But hey, that’s just my take on it. You may disagree but don’t be a nut about it.
Where’s the “Star Chamber” when you need it?
Try that on someone else. I watched every minute except the first few days, and then I went back and read up on that testimony. So essentially I saw ALL the same evidence.
Sorry, stupid Obama jury. And next year we get to deal with them again at election time.
Do you understand the concept of “Burden of Proof”?
No, not everyone. But Casey IS.
BTW, who put that duct tape over the baby's mouth? Any ideas?
I just got the rundown as voiced by Attorney’s I REALLY Respect.
The consensus is she got by with Murder.
The problem that they saw was that the Prosecution tried to hard.
The evidence was simple and logical.
should have stuck with it rather than worrying about the Defense trying to poke holes in it.
And that comes from some VERY SUCCESSFUL ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$)Attorney’s. And they are sure that Society will never accept her. She will have to leave the Country or Change name appearance. etc etc. They are Conservs, but still have hope for our Society.
I keep asking that but no one will answer.
What killed her? Even the police don’t know that.
‘Course you didn’t hear that. You had to be there. Now it’s a no-no to have supported OJ
To even ask THAT question, brings up doubt.
That is why people are sooo upset. We have a child dead and we don’t have anyone found guilty.
who killed the child:
1. It WAS some kind of accident and the Casey’s father thought they would make it look like murder.
2. Casey dropped the child off with one of her druggie friends and they killed her...then set Casey up.
3. The bio-father killed her.
4. Casey used the chloroform to quiet the kid...then it all went bad.
Remote possibilities? Maybe. But that might be enough doubt.
And....if the EVIDENCE does not fit, you must acquit. doesn’t matter if it was close, it wasn’t good enough for the jury. The prosecutor didn’t make their case.
