I'll add it in there anyway for the uneducated.

The Casey Anthony Trial - NOT GUILTY

I agree. She did kill her, but all of the evidence was purely circumstantial. I watched most of the trial on court TV/cnn headline news so I've actually seen the arguments/presentation etc. The guy who found the body knew where it was for 4 months and could possibly have done something to the body, as he was already caught in lying to authorities about what happened (even the Prosecutor admitted this in his closing but said he still didn't move the body but just wanted a "good story" to impress his son). Honestly I don't think/am not sure if he did but either way that alone is reasonable doubt. Jose Baez gave an amazing closing and cross examinations (and as someone who is also wanting to become a lawyer was very impressed). Cheney Mason (her other attorney) seemed totally dull and just like.. "Ok....now let's talk about this...blah". The head prosecutor announced his retirement, so this will be his last case he ever tries, he was probably hoping he could use this as his "last triumph" as it were in his trial legacy (if she would have been found guilty).
Edit:
Honestly, either she did kill her, or she's totally dissociative and a pathological liar even if she drowned in the pool. However her mom's (caylee's Grandmother's) testimony was proven totally false and she perjured herself on the stand, with the defense even admitting that in closing. She (Grandma) may face perjury charges if the DA feels the need.
I personally don't know enough about the case to analyze everything piece by piece, but frankly, regardless of how vague the evidence and testimonies are, when you're dealing with the death penalty, I hope I'd be in the right to say that it's better to have a person alive (not necessarily running free in the wild by the nature of the case, but hopefully in some confinement other than death row…) on false charges than dead on those same charges, I have enough trust in the American jury/court system to believe that it can prevent that scenario 99% of the time. That being said, from the little I know, I'm not really sure who else could've killed Caylee (I mean it's convoluted as heck as it is, if someone could fill me in on the circumstances of the scene at the exact moment of the past crime, I don't know if anyone's posted about it already), and as progressive as we like to think we are, I highly doubt anybody in the jury wasn't swayed to some degree by things like the nature of the accused (meaning Casey Anthony's demographic…disappointing for sure, but perhaps true as ever).
But what angers me the most about this case isn't the case, but the gross media coverage of it, which is hardly surprising to me with these types of…"spectacles." Because that's exactly what it is – it's the same thing as a scene of Romans gathering around chanting and cheering to watch someone be stoned to death, "barbaric" entertainment. Albeit the media always has a bone to pick (or at least any network/organization with an agenda), but one ought to be inclined to think this story is the wrong bone. Because even if Anthony was proven guilty, both her, her family, and essentially everyone shaking their heads as they involve themselves in this case are, quite wrongly, being patronized to death for every dripping penny and ounce of guilty nosiness that human nature can hunger for – which is a lot! I could care less if she's some psychopathic bloodthirsty lunatic (…rather than a drunk party-addict), I would assume that by the same "moral high-ground of normalcy" used to justify her execution in the face of her acquittal, one would choose to respect the personal sovereignty of all parties involved, and, for lack of a better phrase, mind their own business… I mean even if she's really not guilty according to some all-seeing supreme truth, both the lives of herself and everyone she or whomever has dragged into this crime/case are to many extents slandered if not ruined for good, and so, regardless of the verdict, it's that much of a fatal blow to everyone already, innocent or guilty. But alas, a verdict's not gonna bring back the dead, and the suffering continues…

Why are you smiling after that statement? o_oxxashxx said: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.
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.
That is usually how I end my posts with a smiley face. I probably should change it to a sad face. Sorry man.
EDIT: Zyfflair: It is fixed to a sad face now. If you also think about the location of the case for a few minutes the killing happened in Florida, Which could also be why she got off but no evidence to prove the case. Nothing really fits. The pieces are there but the key item they are missing are the surgical gloves like I mention earlier today. I bet they have disentergrated bt now though.I live in the same county as Casey Anthony. I could drive to her house in like 20 minutes. -___- So I feel very unsafe. But whatever. I agree with the verdict. She shouldn't be put to death. Would we be proud of a country, our own country, that kills their own citizens? She should just be locked up for life -- it's much worse than death. I think she killed her child though.
And this case is so overrated.

O rly? I'm going into Law and I said the same thing.

The problem with those living in jail is the tax payers (us) pay for their food and the cell costs over time. However. there is too much evidence missing to convict her. Nothing adds up so they can't do anything. All she will get is 2&1/2 years in jail for lying to the police. She has served like 1&1/2 years already so she will get a total of 4 years in jail.

She actually has served I think 3 years ish, with a maximum of 4 years possible. Given the circumstances the Judge could have her sentences run consecutively (4 one year sentences) so she'd serve like 10 months, or the judge could just release her on time served due to her good behavior while incarcerated for 3 years and since she was found innocent on the major charges. It's all the judge's choice though, she could go free on thursday, or not
Yeah but each lie is worth one year in jail and she has served 3 years true so she could be out this time next year or she could be free tomorrow too. We just have to wait a few more hours and see what happens XD.
My mom said to me "They found Casey Anthony not guilty." and I said "Who's Casey Anthony?"
Really I've payed attention to this trial as much as I do to halo news, so I don't really have an opinion on this and I really don't want to read about it to form one. Though for the people who think she did kill her who are trying to find some comfort, if she did kill her, than living with the thought of doing such an act and where 90% of people think you did it is a far worse punishment than death. I wouldn't want to live in such a world.

Now that I think about, wouldn't it make sense that her mother didn't report Caylee was missing for 30 days because they wanted the body to decompose so there would be no evidence?
I just saw her sentence. She may be released in weeks. I don't know what feelings I have toward that.

I really think that average citizens, who seem rather ignorant, stupid, and gullible, should NOT be allowed to serve on a ury. (keyboard's broken... can't type the letter next to h ) The matters at hand are simply far serious for a bunch of random idiots to be deciding on. Why else would people get away with murder, win lawsuits for spilling hot coffee on their lap while driving because it didn't say it was hot, winning a lawsuit for falling through a skylight while robbing a house (yes, it really happened), etc...? Sorry, but the legal system is really broken.

Looks like she's out next Wednesday, a bit earlier than everyone thought. I believe that she should have been charged with Manslaughter if the prosecution wanted to get a guilty verdict on anything. I believe that she may have accidentally killed her and panicked by not telling the police for the month and all of the other evidence against her.
I think that simply the discovery of Caylee Anthony's decomposed body with duct tape over her mouth, somewhere in the woods is proof enough that this was murder in some degree. If you research the case and look up the evidence, it all adds up that Casey did kill her daughter. I would also think that NOT reporting your missing child for 31 whoopin' days and finding the odor of death (to which I forget the name of right now) in her car trunk would be a dead giveaway. Why the jury thinks that the defense proved more of a case then the prosecution is beyond me. There was so much more evidence against her then for her.
If Caylee really did drown in the family swimming pool as Casey says, then why weren't the paramedics called? Why did she go out and party for 31 days after her daughter drowned without ever reporting what happened? Personally, I think that's murder in itself; and supposedly someone is now trying to get a law passed about reporting missing children in a timely manner.
Obviously she didn't drown in the swimming pool. Even if she did, why would her own mother duct tape her mouth, throw her in the trunk, and drop her off in the woods? Either way she's criminally insane. Those who keep saying that there isn't enough evidence obviously have not researched the case enough to know what they are talking about. As I said, if you look up the evidence and put it together, it just screams that she killed her daughter. And idk what the jurers were smoking, but they should probably get more intelligent people next time.
As for the death penalty, I don't believe in it. I think she should have just been thrown in jail for life.

Those who don't know who Casey Anthony need to pay attention to the news more. Anyway back on topic. If you think about this here are 2 things wrong with Florida that could factor into why she was let free Here we go:
#1 Florida is a republican state. Republicans like hot sexy girls. I will not go into detail but they like cute girls like Casey Anthony for instance.
#2 Florida is also the state that always decides who is the president of the United States of America is. From watching the debates over the years Florida is always the last state to cast their votes in the presidency.
If you take these 2 major factors into effect you will see why she got what she got. If she had done this in a Democratic state she would had been charged on 1st degree murder and gotten the death penalty. If you want to do a crime do it in Florida or Canada because those places all they will do is jail time life in prison.
If you notice also she will be let free in August sometime and today in court she had her hair down rather than in a pony tail like she usually has it. Evidence was tampered with #1 and #2 Florida is a republican state and always decides who the president is. This make a whole lot more sense now. I remembered this last night.If you guys don't believe me start watching the news you will discover it. Those who watch the news when they are very young will be smarted in their lifetime XD.

^Woa. REPUBLICANS like hot sexy girls? I think everyone likes hot sexy girls. Be it Republican, Democrat, Green Party, etc.
Also, I really didn't follow this, but from what I saw, I thought for sure she'd be guilty.

I actually just laughed out loud. This post made my day...xxashxx said:
1. Any straight guy likes hot sexy girls. Republican or otherwise. Just as Tyraniking said. I don't see what that has to do with the trial at all.
2. Holy poop, a Republican state chose a Democrat for president? Wow, I never realized the POTUS was Florida's choice... or that Obama had anything to do with this trial in any way...
And I didn't realize that a state being generally left- or right-wing made a difference in the trial! I thought it was up to a jury to decide, not the state... and wait, why does it matter that Florida's Republican overall again?
And wait a second! Aren't Republicans more in FAVOR of the presence of capital punishment than Democrats as a whole? That sort of conflicts with what you said, doesn't it?
Oh, commit a crime in Canada or Florida? Right, Florida because it's right-wing as a whole (for whatever difference that makes), and Canada because it's LEFT-wing. Yeah that sounds about right.
