I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for this. What do you think of the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial? I personally believe that if she did kill Caylee, she will get what's coming to her eventually. Because there is one person who knows exactly what happened, and He does not need a verdict.

Please share your opinions about and discuss the verdict.
 
We don't really talk about this kind of stuff because there are always so many arguments and flaming due to different opinions...and it makes people uneasy talking about "alleged" killers.
 
I don't know everything about this case, but from what I have seen and heard, I disagree with the verdict.
 
If you don't know about it, look it up, or don't bother trying to blatantly increase your post count.

Regardless of whose side anyone is on, the case as an eyesore to Floridians like me. I am seriously tired of the ridiculous length it has dragged on at the expense of not only time, but tons of money from taxpayers simply to fund the investiagtions, court proceedings, prosecutors, etc.

But if it were me, I'd think she's guilty.
 
I did not say I know nothing, I said I don't know everything. Basically, I was trying to say I have a general idea of what happened.
 
I think she killed Caylee but I think that the evidence is just not there. I agree with the verdict.
 
If she is convicted on 1st degree murder in this case she could be eligible for the death penalty. I heard there was a possibility that surgical
Gloves that might have been used to dispose of the body in the river or ocean. Forgot which one. Anyway she is a surgical nurse so there is a good chance she did that. She was a party girl and with the extra child if she got rid of it then she would be able to have more fun with her life so yeah. pretty graphic case XD.:) EDIT: BREAKING NEWS. She is not guilty on the first degree charge but she is going to be sentenced on 4 mistaminer charges. That sentence will happen on Thursday XD.:)
 
This entire trial is a bit of a goof. I don't understand this at all...

Why in the world would Ms. Anthony fabricate such a story as "Caylee was kidnapped by the nanny" unless she needed the nation to focus on finding this treacherous nanny? I believe she did it, but since there wasn't enough evidence of Casey's guilt, she was acquitted by the jury. Bravo to the defense team, however, for winning the case.

The verdict, though perhaps unfitting for the reality of the events, is fitting for the evidence available to the court.
 
The only way they could prove it that she did it is to get a swab of DNA off the surgical gloves but after 3 years they would be depreciated into dust the surgical gloves would tell the whole story but they are not there. Therefore she got off with the sentence she is getting for lying to the police about the disappearance XD.:)
 
Despite all of that, there is no decisive evidence that she actually killed her daughter. All she had been caught with was total misresponsibility. It's really a shame.
 
The case is a big blowout actually. If you think about it with the missing evidence there is no way to be able to convict here. She was tried once. Now they can't try her again. Even if she did do it and if she said it then they still can't try her again. Even if all the evidence did show up she can't be tried. Once you are tried for a case and acquitted there is no way she can be tried for the same crime ever again. Kind of bad. Big flaw here XD.:)
 
I am just confused by the verdict. I think the evidence was there, I just don't know how she was found innocent. I am sure the prosecutors are just as confused as I am. Today is the day that the devil dances with joy, if you ask me.

EDIT- Me wanting to go into law, I say "bravo" to the defense for actually saving her. I don't like the outcome, but they did something right...
 
The only reason she got free was because there was no evidence that she killed her little girl. There was missing evidence and it was not hers. That is why it did not go guilty XD.:) EDIT: The mother waited 31 days to report the crime and it was her grandfather who disposed of the body who was hoping to cover the crime up. Her grandfather participated so I wonder why he was never tried. I forgot about this part until the news mentioned it again XD.:)
 
This case makes me want to cry, because now I know that whether Casey killed her or not, Caylee is gone forever and there is no way of getting her back. What an innocent child....things like this pain me.

Anyway, I do applaud the defense for winning the case, but I'm on the same page as Muddy68. And I also agree with shampoothief, and I knew her mother was lying, but that's what any mother would do for their child.
 
I was pretty upset when I heard that. All though the evidence wasn't enough, they did a good job trying to prove that she was guilty. I totally disagree with the verdict. (I'm only eleven but was very interested in this case.)
 
If you think about it her grandfather played a role in disposing of the body so there could be a good chance that they could go after him. The jury had no comment on why they acquitted her. There was missing evidence yes but the thing is missing evidence can really mess up a case and cause a mistrial or even mess up the whole case and give the wrong proof and then the possible killer gets away free.:( EDIT: everyone predicted guilty but honestly the evidence did not add up. so therefore not guilty is what she got. They tried for like 3 years. Every possibly way. See a crime is like a puzzle in a way. If there are missing pieces to the puzzle (In this case evidence) then the suspect will get a way with doing the crime. If the pieces are all there then the evidence or puzzle is complete and they can press charges. This case is similar to the O.J. Simpson case in 1994. In that case there was missing evidence and O.J. was never charged because that evidence or puzzle did not add up either.:) However I don't think he did it. I think Kato Kalin did it to this day as he was at the murder scene when Ron Goldman I think it was got shot.:)
 
I think she did kill here... The guilt of killing a child will be worse than any Jail/Prison time... It will get to here eventually. :(
 
I think it's time that I responded here...I have been following the trial since it began, and to be honest, I'm not all that shocked she was found not guilty (inb4 flame war).

Beyond all reasonable doubt. That is how a jury must decide if a person is guilty or not of committing a crime. But there was none of that in this case. Sure, there were tons of pieces of evidence, and about 90 witnesses, but nothing actually pointed to Casey committing the murder of Caylee. It has already been established that it was a homicide, but the cause of death isn't even known. There is loads of suspicion against Casey, from the partying after her child's "kidnap" to waiting 30 days to report her missing. But as I said, nothing was proven that showed Casey killed her daughter.

So yeah, she got charged with something else (I think it was mishandling evidence or something), but she won't be jailed (I think), and she won't be sentenced to death. And the sad part is, if she suddenly decides to announce now that she killed her daughter, she can never be tried again (like O. J. Simpson). For the uneducated folk, this is what is called Double Jeopardy, meaning you can't be tried for the same exact case twice.

I guess the glove.
/me shades.
Didn't fit.
YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Was hoping you'd used the term "Double Jeopardy," but I'm guessing you just assumed everyone played/watched Ace Attorney/know basic rights.

Why are you smiling after that statement? o_o
Even though there is indeed the very likely possiblities of missing evidence to screw up cases, it happens, and we do anything to change it. All the court can do is simply judge from what there simply is, not what they believe, which holds no water. Perhaps the main reason the case took so long was the complications of the investigations, and look how far that got them. The prosecution really didn't have anything great to use, and there's really no blaming them.
