Irreverent but funny.

I could not figure out where in the heck Hannity was coming from until I read that Mark Levin “looked over” the case this weekend and deemed it a weak case. In other words, he became slightly interested at the 11th hour and told his good friend Hannity she was not guilty and Sean, who never had an original thought in his life, Hannity now is on the she was innocent bandwagon. Disgusting!

Exactly, Carolyn! He was awful last night...talking over Judge Jeanine and agreeing with Geraldo.

[Theodore R.]

I am afraid these jurors are the American people personified. And neither are capable of self-government.

[PeanutbutterandJellybean]

Hey juror #3, you and your cousins are stuck on stupid.

[Theodore R.]

I don’t think they will feel sick at all; they lack the intelligence to do so.

[Iron Munro]

These people are nuclear grade idiots.

“Mark Fuhrman was on Greta. He used the word ‘ridiculous’ to describe how the jury interpreted the evidence.”

Good for him. It was!

[rbmillerjr]

“trials are unnecessary when you have torches and billy clubs”

Childish hyberbole.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Those who have chosen to be blind couldn’t see the truth, anyway.

The evil that was done to this little girl by her mother is obvious to anyone with commonsense. It was evil not to call the police for a month and let that baby be eaten by animals.

[bannie]

The act of many of us being incensed at a horrible verdict by a jury is no indication that we are wrong. I would not hang any of the jury...but I am free to recognize they behaved horribly stupid, and your worries about mob mentality cannot change that. For whatever reason, the jury acted cowardly and sheep-like.

[WatchOutForSnakes]

Brilliant, and sadly, true. This jury had no ability to reason, that’s for sure.

[Scotswife]

It “all” came down to cause of death?

It isn’t their job to determine exact cause of death.
Bagging/dumping/taping of the body is enough to discard accidental.
And so is lying for a month about whereabouts.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

>>Hannity is usually hard to take... he just annoys me .... but now, with this stand he is taking .... this is too much.. and Levin, hes a disappointment too.
<<

Yes, both Rush and Levin both admitted they didn’t follow the case closely.

Rush admitted as much, before airing the verdict live.

Apparently he got an email or phone call from someone(levin perhaps?) telling him there was NO EVIDENCE.

This is straight from Rush’s website (and believe me, I think El Rushbo is the GREATEST EVER).

“Am I going to JIP it? We haven’t covered a syllable of it yet. Don’t give me hand signals. I know every woman in the world is gonna be glued to that verdict. I understand. Kathryn’s been watching this. I probably shouldn’t admit this. Sitting here right now, I bet I don’t know 2% of what this is about, and the 2% that I know I know ‘cause I asked Kathryn while she’s sitting there watching TV Sunday night. And I’m saying, “They had court on Sunday? They had court? I’ve never heard of this. Why?”

Then they had court yesterday, and then all last night that’s all the cable networks did. And I’m sitting there and, folks, it’s not often I don’t know something. Sitting here right now, I know nothing about this. I only have the thoughts when I look at the mother.”

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I don’t know, folks. I’m taking a gander, a listen at various media analysts on the Casey Anthony “not guilty” verdicts here during the commercial breaks, and I have to tell you, they are livid, they are livid. And I of course, El Rushbo, find great pleasure in them being livid. Now, I’ve had some people help me out here today ‘cause I didn’t know anything about this, but I now know that there was no evidence

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Brilliant, and sadly, true. This jury had no ability to reason, that’s for sure.

I wonder if we'll find out the background of the jurors. The alternate juror said he didn't know anything about the case when he was chosen.

A lot of people don't follow the news, and we've ended up with morons on juries, as Dennis Miller said.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

Here’s my hpothesis on what happened: Hannity and Levin were watching summation. (Levin admitted he didn’t follow the case closely).

They both have an epiphany that the prosecution did a lousy job in summation.

Someone called Rush, who jumped on board, implicitly trusting the assessment of Sean and Mark.

Three wise men CAN make a bad call, and I’m thinking this is exactly what happened. (And I’m being generous calling Hannity “wise.”)

[truthkeeper]

If the mob lynched Casey Anthony and the twelve members of the jury, would the little girl be brought back to life? No, but we would end a constitutional framework of justice in criminal prosecutions and declare anarchy king and openly embrace mob rule.
The next one of us accused of any crime would deserve the same vigilante justice - trials are unnecessary when you have torches and billy clubs.
Once you let slip the dogs of vengeance, borne of fury, you have embraced evil.

Oh, knock it off, Drama Queen. This is a discussion forum. Two words: FREE SPEECH. No one is running around with pitchforks and torches. At least not yet.

Face it, this was a pathetic assortment of incurious, confused dullards too stupid to even grasp the difference between "reasonable doubt" and "no doubt." And frankly, as more and more examples of this jury's impaired reasoning leaks out, I question the intelligence of those on this forum continuing to defend their verdict. I find it strikingly similar to the Obamabots defending "their guy."

By the way, I take it you were equally thrilled with the O.J. jury's verdict?

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

>>Once you let slip the dogs of vengeance, borne of fury, you have embraced evil. <<

You have a flair for the melodramatic.

[rbmillerjr]

That dipshit juror who didn’t follow the news is a high school government teacher.

...ya can’t make this stuff up

[truthkeeper]

This is a case of the jury waking up and realizing they screwed up royally and are trying to excuse their inept actions. Not enough evidence? What did they want, a home movie of the woman killing her child? My god, the evidence of child abuse alone was beyond reasonable doubt.

Damn straight.

[Girlene]

Here, on this web site, we see a lynch mob in full flower. Some here want to lynch the jurors, not just the accused.

Why are you using an inflammatory phrase like lynch mob to describe posters expressing their opinion on this matter? Don't you believe in freedom of speech?
