IF George had anything to do with the death or the cover-up this lying little itch would have served him up day one and she would have never spent one day in jail. George was according to the video record attempting to get Casey to tell the investigators what happened to the child.
“IS it reasonable to have a defense in opening statement claim they will show that George molested her, stuck his ..... in her mouth in the morning and then sent her off to school. NOT one shred of evidence was presented that George ever laid a hand or touch her in any of the criminal acts he was accused of doing. This little lying stealing itch attempted to destroy her father and apparently the jury found the accusations without any evidence as ‘reasonable’.”
You’re misreading the decision reached by the jury. Just because they vote to acquit doesn’t mean they gave credence to the defense’s claims. It merely means they rejected the prosecution for inadequate proof. They could all think the defense was full of irrelevant $h1+ but it wouldn’t matter. It’s only what the prosecution does and does not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that matters. The doubt need not be caused by the defense’s claim; there need merely be a reasonable hole in the theory or evidence presented by the prosecution. The jury found one.
If that idiot juror # 14 is indeed the pulse on what that jury was thinking, Lord help us. They had concrete evidence presented to them that this mother lied and obstructed justice, was the last person to have the child in care, had the smell of death in her car, carried on as if nothing happened when her daughter went “missing” and yet they decide, without any evidence at ALL that George Anthony must have done it because it just SEEMED like he was lying! Cindy perjured herself on the stand, that was proven by the state in rebuttal, yet the jury focuses on the fact they just didn’t LIKE George’s demeanor. Combative they called it. Well, wouldn’t you be combative after being drug through the mud blamed not only for molesting your own daughter but covering up her murder?!
