Verdict in Anthony Trial

Her family was not believable at all, like someone said, the mom should be put on trial for perjury. The brother is freakin weird and you can't believe what he says and same with the dad. They family was not credible at all. They are all liars.
Thank goodness!!! Wheww! Amen!!
Can you imagine if they had gotten it wrong?!
wink:
Lost her child give me a break. Excuse me for wanting to see a child killer be punished. For all of her lies she wasn't exactly a dummy. Her lies allowed the evidence of what she did to the little girl to never be proven. If you truly think she had NOTHING to do the death of her daughter, you are no better than the system that has allowed her to go free. I hope her life from here on out is just like where she is headed in the afterlife HELL.

People kill because they want to get out of a relationship instead of getting a divorce. To the person who would murder someone, the irrational idea seems rational. It is not crazy to think that a person who is a little crazy could kill their child for the reason that they don't want their child because they want to be a young single person without the responsibility of a child.

That argument fails, because she wasn't crazy. The prosecution went out of their way to state that. She was of sound mind. Try to find other cases where a mother committed infanticide and psychological issues were not diagnosed. It's hard to do.
I am not saying crazy in a legal sense I am saying, you have to be a little messed up, i.e. crazy to kill so there isn't always a rational motive. Like I said, people kill spouses instead of getting a divorce, they aren't legally crazy but they are a little 'crazy'.
Try to find a single case where a child dies accidentally, and no one calls the cops for a month, but instead tries to make it look like she was murdered. It's hard to do.
Bingo. All you have to do is look at what Casey Anthony was doing the second after she had murdered her daughter and dumped the body... She was out partying and sleeping around. She was pretty much acting like she got a "Get out of Jail Free" card. Unfortunately that is what this jury gave her.
ON a brighter note... I was glad to see that Michael Swanson was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the convenience store clerk up north. He sat in court and smiled as the judge described the murders he committed as being "cold blooded". Who flips off the court when the verdict is read?
Too bad Iowa doesn't have the death penalty.

I can't. Not reporting her missing is really bizarre. Really bizarre behavior is not proof of murder, though.
Isn't infanticide the killing of infants? Maybe I am wrong about that but I thought it was only new born babies or babies less than a year old.
Funny. The defense team tried to have her found unfit mentally to stand trial. They then dropped that bid and went as far as they could possibly go to pushing the idea that she has mental problems without ever actually saying it. All these lies they tried to portray as fantasies rather then the cold blooded and calculated lies of a murderer.
The defense team played both sides of the fence and it worked. Unfortunately it worked because 12 of her peers were too stupid to see that they got the wool pulled over their eyes.

Technically, it probably is, but I'm using it as a general term to indicate a parent killing their young child.
I agree with you.
And finding her of "sound mind" isnt proof that she didnt murder Caylee either.

of course it isn't. Sane people kill people all the time. However, the prosecution's stated motive for murder says that a sane person killed her own flesh and blood daughter so she could party. It's a little unbelievable to think a sane person would be capable of committing murder for that reason. I'm not saying that it's not possible, or even that it's false in the case of Casey Anthony, but it's definitely an uphill battle to prove. Sane people don't just kill their babies, especially for flippant reasons like "They want to party." Throw in the fact that they couldn't prove the cause or time of death, or who was the last person to have custody of Caylee, and it's not hard to see how the "tragic accident" theory could be considered a reasonable, albeit unlikely, scenario for the jury.
Like I said before, it is all speculation. In America, people do not get convicted of 1st degree murder without solid evidence that meets the burden of proof. I never said that she couldn`t have been convicted of a lesser feolny if the prosecution would have chosen to go that way. The state rolled the dice and lost because they could not meet that burden. IMO, CA benefited by this being so high profile.
Find me a case of a missing child that wasn't reported for a week and the neither parent was guilty.
I understand the juries decision. What I don't understand is how you can doubt that mother who waited that long to say anything about her child missing isn't guilty.

guilty of what? Murder? It was never proven that Caylee was murdered. We don't know her cause of death.
Manslaughter? It was never proven who was the last person to have Caylee in their care.
I agree that she is involved with it, and is probably Caylee's killer, but the burden of proof simply was not met.
Say her story about it being an accident is true. Say her dad was involved somehow and thats why she didnt report it. Who knows. Its definitely unusual (though it does not prove murder)
Obviously her child dying is on a monumentally greater scale, but at the same time, its not unusual at all for someone who's had something ****** happen to them (job loss, breakup, etc) go out and drink afterwards. Who knows. Maybe thats the reason she was out drinking. She compartmentalized and self medicated with alcohol.
Its pretty clear she has plenty of issues, likely stemming from her family environment (and her family are a whole nother issue), she could probably use a whole lot of time with a therapist.
