Anyone Following Casey Anthony Trial?

[Matthew3590]

I just hope they give her the appropriate punishment and don't give less than she needs just because she is a girl.

Thanks for the link, I followed the story before when they were looking for little Caylee I feel so bad for the child she must have been so scared, Casey could have just left the little girl with her mom and dad and left. I think she killed Caylee to punish her parents she did not want Caylee but she didn't want her parents to have her either. She deserves the death penalty.

Yup!

And trust me, in cases like this it isn't just the other inmates who make your life hell.

I have only watched some of the trial. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news.....

But my biggest concern by far is that the prosecution doesn't even have enough evidence to go to trial, let alone get a conviction.

There is a lot of suggestion and suspicious looking stuff, but frankly, I don't see anything that would be sufficient to bring a case to a jury, or a judge. Let alone convict.

Yet. I hope 'yet', anyway.

I am very seriously hoping the prosecution has yet to show their good stuff, but I am afraid they just really do not have anything solid. This is often the problem with family crimes. There just isn't a lot of evidence. On the other hand when a crime involves money, trafficking etc, proof is often much easier to find.

You can't convict someone of a murder charge by showing that they are a messed up, callous, uncaring jerk, a bad mother. Frankly, I think both parents as well as the daughter were involved in what happened. But proving what happened, is a problem. A man's home is his castle and he can hide a lot of things that happen in his home.

Sure, sure there is lots of creepy stuff that happened. She searched for stuff on her computer. Great. She bought a shovel, her car stinks. They have had a very dysfunctional family. People thought she was a bad mother.

That just is not sufficient to prove she murdered that child.

The plain fact is this. A murder conviction means destroying a person's life. They will get the death penalty, or life in prison. Even if they get out before they die, their life is destroyed. They won't be able to get a job, vote, rent, nothing. Their life is over.

The standards for proving a murder conviction are therefore, extremely high. And the prosecution is not meeting those standards.

Yet. I hope.

She isn't crazy. In all probability she is a sociopath. In defense of the family, sociopaths can be very convincing, and sometimes it is hardest to see that which is right in front of you. As for the attorney, I think he is operating on the theory that if you throw enough poo at the walls, some of it will stick. That is all he has to work with, really.

I feel George and Cindy both were lying on the witness stand. I really feel like I caught mainly Cindy. first of all, she stated that she was happy when she found out that Casey was expecting. How can any parent be happy when their daughter doesn't graduate high school. Has no husband, or a stick around father. During the jail house interviews that we were shown, Cindy kept saying to Casey to show me your eyes when you talk to me. she said it more than once to her. Cindy said it in a voice as if she were talking to a child not an adult daughter. Cindy kept saying to Casey that you know that I need to look into your eyes when we talk. Why would she say that? I feel like she was saying it because she always talked to her like that because Casey always lied and both Cindy and George knew it. I feel like there is so much pressure on the jury to find her guilty that they will. But I really do hate to say it so far the evidence is not there. I would like to say something else but not sure how it would be taken. There is another case here in Florida where two children were found in suite cases in a canal and their mother was killed last year. The mothers boyfriend is in jail for it but that case really isn't getting any form of publicity. Casey Anthony has already been tried and convicted by the media. At first I really believed that the little girl drowned but now I just don't know. As for the chloroform one of her boyfriends had a face book that said something about that. Also Cindy is a nurse most of the stuff on the computer could of come from her.

Fake video of Caylee Decomposing.... really? Talk about shock and awe. State, what were you thinking???

Jose.... You're still ridiculous.

LOVE how Casey doesnt cry when seeing the video when Jury ISNT in court room, and then breaks down and cant watch it when they are. COME ON!

 

[mamawolf544]

Dr. G testified.....she says no way did the little girl drown.
I think there is enough evidence myself, the car, the internet searches, the smiley face on the duct tape. Her acting like an idiot when she was partying.
Most of the time you do not get a video of a person committing a crime, you have to use your common sense and judgement.
I have heard it is quite possible she could walk, and that makes me very sad. I think she killed her daughter, accidently or purposely and then hid from her parents for 31 days while she partied. But I am not on the jury.
