Casey Anthony Trial

[slappy's son]

Its ridiculous for people who have watched CNN for a few hours to call the 12 jurors idiots when the jurors actually saw ALL of the evidence and information.

Here's where you are wrong! They did NOT get to hear all the evidence available that we saw on court TV and the media. The judge did NOT allow a good deal of evidence in, such as the baby sitter telling police how Casey Anthony had talked about Kalie in the past-tense, and "in her memory", during that 31-day period when Casey knew she was already dead and nobody else did. There were several other critical items of evidence that pointed the finger directly at Casey Anthony that was not permitted to be presented by the prosecution. So "NO", the jurors did NOT get to hear it all.

WHO in their right mind takes an accidental drowning and makes it look like a homocide by placing duct tape over the dead body's mouth and nose? NOBODY!!

Anyone who truley thinks Casey Anthony did not kill her little girl has serious mental issues, IMHO. There was a mountain of evidence that states otherwise. Scott Pederson in California got sentenced to death with HALF as much circumstantial evidence as there was here!

No offense Bry but if you think she is a hot chick you got really low standards. I would let her but that's about it

Agree, she could make skank magazine but not playboy.

Its ridiculous for people who have watched CNN for a few hours to call the 12 jurors idiots when the jurors actually saw ALL of the evidence and information. They were in that courtroom for 6 weeks, not 3 hours, and they all came to the same verdict. .

Just because they were in the court room all the while does not mean they understood anything.
It is ridiculous for people to think that these 12 people were able to understand all the EVIDENCE that was presented to them in a mere matter of 10 hours. This case was all circumstantial evidence and much of it was used for the first time in a court of law. This jury based their decision on that fact that they believed it was an accident. There was NO EVIDENCE this was an accident. The fact that they did not ask for one read back of testimony during deliberation or take many notes during the trial leads me to believe they never cared about the evidence.

Marcia Clark on the verdict

While the stunning Casey Anthony acquittal defied logic, O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark details how juries often delude themselves—and why this verdict trumps even her case.



Sick, shaken, in disbelief. As I listened to the verdicts in the Casey Anthony case, acquitting her of the homicide of her baby girl, I relived what I felt back when court clerk Deirdre Robertson read the verdicts in the Simpson case.


But this case is different. The verdict far more shocking. Why?


Because Casey Anthony was no celebrity. She never wowed the nation with her athletic prowess, shilled in countless car commercials, or entertained in film comedies. There were no racial issues, no violent Rodney King citywide riot just two years earlier.


Because of those factors, many predicted from the very start in the Simpson case—in fact, long before we even began to pick a jury—that it would be impossible to secure a conviction.


There was no such foreshadowing here, and few who predicted that a jury might completely acquit Casey Anthony of the killing of her daughter.


The trial itself, despite bumps and turns, never introduced any unexpected bombshells that blew up in the prosecution’s face (à la detective Mark Fuhrman’s racially charged interview tapes with a novelist). All things considered, it went pretty smoothly. Judge Belvin Perry was fantastic—a model of even-tempered, no-nonsense control who kept the flow of evidence orderly and succinct, and who never let the lawyers run amok. He even jailed and fined a spectator for acting up in court.

Plus, I think several things NEED to be changed in order for our judicial system to work effectively:

#1 - Defense attorney's cannot simply make statements at the beginning of the trial and NOT attempt to prove them during the course of the trial. NONE of the slanderous lies made in the defense's opening statement were ever attempted to be proved as truth. I believe the father should be able to file a lawsuit against that low-life scum-bag Jose Biaz for slander & character deformation for making all those statements without attempting to prove they were actually the truth. And unless they do, the prosecution can call for a mistrial and select an entire new jury at a different venue.

#2 - I think all prospective jurors need to take an I.Q. test to prove their mental capability to understand everything that's taking place. All jurors should need to have an I.Q. of no less than 120 in order to qualify. Most of those retards on that jury were probably 100 or less, and had NO friggin clue what was presented to them and what was actually proven. Most Americans are too friggin stupid to understand most of what went on during the past 3 years. And I KNOW they have no understanding of the meaning of "beyond reasonable doubt". It DOESN'T mean a 1-out-of-1,000,000 chance, or 1 out of 100,000. Anyone who actually thinks it wasn't proven "beyond a reasonable doubt" obviously falls in that 80-100 I.Q. range!

One of the jurors in the Casey Anthony trial has decided to go public with his side of the story -- but he's not talkin' ... unless the price is right ... and 5-figure offers are already pouring in. Which could be anywhere from $10-99,000 dollars or even more. We are assuming the best price wins...

A publicist for the unidentified juror is sending a letter to media outlets, claiming,
"Our client -- a married, college-educated, 33-year-old white male with two young children -- is willing to consider granting one or more media interviews so long as the opportunities are paid."

We're told the juror has already received multiple offers from big news operations, including at least one major network. Sources tell us ... the high offers are in the "mid 5-figures."

Paid interviews are a hazy moral territory for obvious reasons -- and the publicist, Rick French, admits, paying for sit-downs is
"always a sticky subject and believe me, I understand the delicacy of this type of negotiation."


But the juror's lawyer insists ... sticky or not, his client ain't budging --
"He will not entertain any offers that don't include compensation for a myriad of reasons."

There is a guy at my work that was wrongly accused of rape.He spent 31 years in jail and was released by the innocents project about 12 yrs ago.Georgia does not pay these guys anything if this happens.28 states will.give the poor person $$$$$$ for each year.He is a black gentleman and they had a witness that put him at the scene of the crime and he was not even there.He was one of the first people released by the innocents project and claimed his innocence to anyone that would listen.He is one of the nicest people I have ever met.He says he has forgiven the witness and he says he does not feel for himself but for all the other people he knows that are incarcerated for something they did not do.He said he was a little upset because he feels she was guilty but he said jurors should always side with caution.I know we have a different view because we did not go through what he did just thought I would say his side.

There is now talk about Casey Anthony maybe having to pay retribution back to the State of Florida for ALL costs associated with this trial over the past 3 years, including all law enforcement, lawyers, and the entire cost of the trial. Had she spoken up at the time of the so-called accidental drowning (which was bullshit), as she clearly admitted, and NOT misled law enforcement and lied. there would have been no 3-year search & prosecution. Her lying directly led to Florida having to spend MILLIONS of dollars on this trial, for which this judge may eventually make Casey Anthony re-pay in-full! THAT would eat up all her book & movie deals, just like the civil trial did to O.J.!! At least it's SOME justice (but clearly NOT enough).

They would not be able to have jury trials in Oklahoma then. What do you suggest they do there???

[vols fan]

She better be glad she's going back to prison. If she walked out of that courtroom today she might not of made it thru the day. Now in a couple months after this dies down a little they can release her in the middle of the night and she might actualy make it. Judge Perry knows she's guilty and wasn't no way in hell he was letting her walk. Don't forget he still has a contempt of court to discuss with Baez. Hope he fucks him up too
