[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Prosecutors spent half of their case depicting Anthony as a liar and a bad mother, but that didn't prove she killed her daughter, said Donald Jones, a professor at the University of Miami School of Law.

And that my friends is the base of the problem, the prosecution and the police screwed up the investigation and focused too much on her being a bad mother.

In the end that didn't prove the crimes alleged...

I'm more shocked that people are actually "shocked" at the verdict. The writing was on the wall from the moment the defense began disassembling the prosecutions case by using their very own expert witnesses against them to discredit all the evidence.

Anyone who couldn't see this coming right then was either stupid or blind...

Basically, in your opinion 90% of murderers should never be convicted.

Proved it to me...

Much of the evidence was destroyed because it was left in a swamp to rot. The prosecution used all the evidence they had.

Part of the other problem the prosecution had is that no one in the family was willing to help them. The grandparents and the brother didn't assist the police. The father of the child is unknown. The child essentially died alone with no one caring about avenging the child's death.

The murderer got away with it because of her lies that delayed the finding of the body and her parents were not willing to help the police.

This isn't the first time I have seen a cold blooded murderer escape justice.

actually, there is no evidence that Casey was a bad mother....

as an elderly lady said to me yesterday, Casey will have a life long sentence now....no matter the jury....

...the prosecution and the police screwed up the investigation and focused too much on her being a bad mother.

Agreed. Enough to despise her, but not enough to convict her. I saw this coming a mile away. I told anyone who was willing to ask that the jury would acquit, but it seemed that everyone was so emotionally convinced that she was guilty that they didn't want to believe it.

I was a prosecutor for 18 years. I learned early on that if a detective brought me a case and tried to sell it by telling me what a bad person the suspect was, I knew right away their actual evidence sucked and the officer knew it. That assessment was never wrong.
