Casey Anthony smiled with delight as she was today sensationally cleared of the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee in one of the most controversial verdicts since the OJ Simpson case.
Crowds gasped outside the courtroom as the 25-year-old mother was found not guilty of drugging her young daughter, suffocating her and dumping her body in overgrown woodland after a compelling six-week trial, which has seen a family torn apart by accusations of rape and incest.
Stunned Anthony hugged defence attorney Jose Baez when the jury's verdict was read after only ten hours of deliberation. As the jury left, a relieved Anthony, who had been facing the death penalty burst into tears of delight.

They wouldn't. Plain and simple. And they sure as heck wouldn't use three strips of ducktape on a childs face. No doubt Casey had much to do with the death itself just in the fact she never reported anything about her daughter missing for 31 days. That in itself makes her guilty of neglecting her child. Cindy Anthony's distress call to the police, when she learned Caley had been missing for so long, revealed much. Her tone and distress alone indicates very much the call was not staged...but a natural panic any would express. Had an acciddent actually ocurred this call would not have taken place. So there's no way Cindy knew of any accident...because there wasn't one.
Your scenario was postulated during Ashton’s closing as he explained that if you believe that she died accidentally, in the trunk of the car, where casey put her to go and party, that IS FELONY MURDER. if a death results accidentally from what you describe, it is legally felony murder.
Did you hear the tape when Cindy called the police that Casey was missing? and panic or not loving family members do not just drop off their child in the woods, but would have buried her at the very least, fear of being found out would have certainly caused them to hide the body...not leave it in full view as was done....and certainly not just a short distance from their home. But I can see Casey clearly doing such a thing. She would not take the time nor the physical effort to bury her daughter.
There is no proof of that. You're repeating the words of a woman who is a pathological liar.
Indeed!
she let her daughter rot in the trunk of her car until she was forced by the smell to get rid of the body.
That's because the world keeps knocking the broad-mindedness out of people.
Aside from all the evidence....it was a month before Casey admitted her daughter was missing.
Nothing justifies that fact. It’s child neglect in every sense of the owrd under any circumstances.
But when you factor in the evidence it really isn’t hard to conclude Casey knew her daughter was dead.
I don’t understand the anti-circumstantial evidence crowd.
Too bad there wasn’t someone who was familiar with statistics on the jury.
What are the odds? That anyone BUT Casey did this?
The rotting corpse smell did not emanate from anyone else’s vehicle.
Which people were looking for her? Who called the police? And who was telling lies about knowing where she was?
So - if you figure the odds as you add in each circumstantial detail, I would think they are astronomical.
there is no way the jury took the time to closely examine all the details - these were folks who had vacations to get to.
I don’t know how I would have voted had I been on the jury, but there are two points in favor of their decision that I can think about.
—The Anthony family was proven, to be COMPLETELY NUTS, all of them, especially but not only Casey. So at that point, any assumption of what would be reasonable, sane, logical behavior in the face of an accident goes out the window.
—I would like to know if convicting someone by process of elimination is good enough to go beyond the reasonable doubt restriction. In other words, if you lock me in a house with one other person, and 6 months later find me and a skeleton with no other evidence, can I be found guilty? (and I never called the cops, never reported it, and buried the skeleton in the basement)
Because that’s all they had on Casey as far as the actual possibility of murder went. We all know she drove around with a corpse.
I think the worst thing for the prosecution was when they found that Casey’s boyfriend posted some sort of internet joke about chloroform on his Myspace. That would have naturally led to a search by her. And I totally don’t believe the 84 times thing. If I WAS manufacturing chloroform, I wouldn’t have needed to access the same website 84 times!
Marcia Clark (OJ prosecutor) said something last night that rings true- sometimes juries think reasonable doubt means reason to doubt.
Also it seems as though the jury didn’t pay much attention to the duct tape- the alternate said basically that the duct tape was also used in family pet burials. The leap to therefore conclude that’s why it was wrapped around Caylees face escapes me. The duct tape for the pets was to keep the bag shut tightly- but apparently the jury didn’t make the distinction??? How does duct tape wrapped around a face equal duct tape wrapped around a garbage bag? Did it morph by magic?
Hey, how about that?
The old sailor mantra, "Screwed, stewed and tattooed."
She didn't seem to miss her kid a whole lot, did she?
Naw, the child was with a nanny named Zanny.
Whoopee!
Exactly....
But I do consider this....the day Roe vs. Wade was determined was also the day the there was no longer any sanctity of live in our nation.
We have abortions in numbers no amount of reasoning can justify. We have tolerated and even enabled all forms of human degradation to the body without much resisitance or public outcry. We have children being flushed down toilets, baked to death in Microwaves, left starving to death in their own filth, and sexually abused and exploited everywhere.
Clearly the evidence is in that this nation cares not for it’s children, despite it’s lip service that it does..
Our children are the most vulnerable for death and abuse, by it’s citizens, be it parents, perverts or whomever. They are marked and targeted from within their homes and without.
The fact is we no longer ‘protect’ children.
true - and Casey was described as a reluctant mother.
poor thing - punished with a baby like that.
