I really appreciate your attitude! I’m in the corner that believes the state proved the case- but I do understand how others can honestly disagree. Some disagree cause it’s fun to be a contrarian and they enjoy infuriating others as a way of life!
I think my interest in the case began because the Anthony’s live about 15 minutes from me. When Nancy Grace jumped on I stopped paying much attention because I always worry when I see her attached to a cause and I am unable to tolerate her personality.
I think SOME of the evidence was sketchy- for example it became clear that chloroform was NOT looked up 84 times- however- it was looked up and “how to make chloroform” was typed into google. The defense wanted us to believe Casey may have looked it up because of the boyfriend’s “win her with chloroform” entry...which may be true. The question for me was- once Casey discovered WHAT the substance was and what it could do- did she then look up how to make it? That was not discussed. The chronology might have made a difference.
Regardless- we have to live with this verdict and while I’ve had an emotional reaction initially I’m also willing to look at the whole picture rationally and listen to those who HONESTLY didn’t see the state’s case went beyond reasonable doubt.
Supposedly there was a big family blowout the night of the 15th which was triggered by Casey stealing from Grandma. (More than one source has mentioned Cindy choked Casey).
If that evening was the straw that broke the camel's back, the investigators should have leaned on each and everyone of them all of them hard until they were able to account for every minute. It would have taken some hard leaning, because by now the Anthony's do not have to get those types of lies straight. They know what to say.
