Casey Anthony gets away with murder.

[Psychophant]

As Skyblue noted, she will be marked and watched and debated about for years.  The only guys who'll want her are going to be the "trophy" hunters or people who want to profit off her notoriety.  Her parents are also going to face the same scrutiny for trying to help her even after she accused them of sexually abusing her.  The "sharks" or profiteers are circling her even now.   and she never struck me as very bright to begin with.

The correct verdict was made.  There was not evidence enough to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony murdered her daughter, and in the US criminal justice system, you are SUPPOSED to be innocent until proven guilty.  Guilt of murder was NOT proven.

Casey anthony's life is ruined.  She's not "walking free."  She has spent three years incarcerated, and those three years of incarceration occurred without her having been convicted of a crime- BUT she WAS incarcerated as a woman charged with killing her young daughter, which must have added an extra level of hell to the experience.

What should Casey Anthony HAVE been found guilty of?  The neglect charges which were dropped when she was charged with murder.  Even if her story is true, she should have prevented her daughter from having access to a pool in which she could drown.  Based on what we know of her, her behavior, and her character, it's also extremely likely that Casey was a bad enough parent that she could accurately have been labeled as "abusing" her daughter, over and above simple neglect.  But, even the "aggravated abuse" charge that DID remain, there was not sufficient evidence to support.  Casey wasn't a good mother.  She is probably a terrible person.  Unfortunately, "being a terrible person" isn't something she could be charged with. 

No judgement passed on Casey will bring her daughter back.  No verdict will keep her from being one of the most hated women in America right now, nor from having this be something that stays with her forever.  There was no chance at "justice" in any of this, guilty, or not guilty- it's a horrible tragedy that was turned into a media circius.

I agree with that...well said

The Sociopathic cunt murdered her daughter and got away with it.

Discuss.

The only plausible explanation was the one the defense gave in their opening. The child drowned. Who was responsible for watching her that day, I dont know.

I truly believe her father did cover it up. Not from fear of the police, but from fear of his wife.

I saw the trial everyday. The prosecution proved nothing.

The media convicted her 3 years ago and is responsible for all the hoopla.

I don't know what actually happened and I haven't followed the trial like you have, but if it's plausible that the poor child drowned and her grandfather helped to cover it up as the defense says it happened, then the jury must vote to acquit the mother of murder, because that's reasonable doubt, IMO.  If she's really innocent of killing her child, she has already spent three years incarcerated because of something she didn't do.

There should be a law against partying it up after dumping your dead daughter's body in the woods, regardless of how she died.  Felony Tactlessness?  Criminally Gauche?

I dunno, all I do know is that she is going to make millions off her dead daughter and that fact makes me sick to my stomach.

You're right; the situation is sickening.

I wonder if she was partying it up as part of the cover-up?

It makes me sick that the child died, but if her mother didn't murder her, I think sending her to prison for the rest of her life for something she didn't do wouldn't really be justice for what happened to her daughter.

The bottom line is that America has a disgusting habit of rewarding the wrong people.

that statement makes no sense, in the context of this thread.

I think that he means that the mother can get a lot of money for writing a tell-all book about her experience now that she has been acquitted, even though at best she participated in a cover-up of her child's accidental death and at worst, she participated in murdering her.

I think that if she's innocent of murder, she has already been punished enough and she will go on being punished for the rest of her life.  Look at what happened to the parents of JonBenet Ramsey.  Her poor mother was hounded until the day she died and she was completely innocent of harming her daughter.

I cant see a book being written about this. Course I could be wrong . The public will buy anything.

And you are right, Casey is ruined. Unless this whole experience has taught her a life lesson....... being in jail can do that.

Most of the money will come from the reality TV show.

No, that doesn't make sense. If your kid drowned, your reaction wouldn't be to: cover it up, bury her in the woods, party like it's 1999 and get a tattoo saying "the beautiful life", even if you are a sociopath.

I truly believe her father did cover it up. Not from fear of the police, but from fear of his wife.

That's the only point you might be right about.

The prosecution's case was circumstantial in name only. They pieced together a set of circumstances that could only be explained by murder.

Their main argument was motive, which they did a good job of proving.

I suppose it depends on what you consider reasonable doubt. Remember, reasonable doubt is not ALL doubt.

I am still unable to think of a plausible explanation for the facts that we do know, besides murder.

I assume you share my assesment that Casey is a sociopath (her daughter dies and she doesn't show the slightest lick of grief). Assuming that she is a sociopath, would a logical course of action, after your daughter drowns, is to cover it up and lie to your parents about her whereabouts??

That just doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

Now if whoever had done it had either given a prefect a wedgie, given one a swirlie, egged a postman, egged a cop, shot one with a spudgun, or even chucked a stink bomb at a postie, then they'd get busted for it..... wait, this is real life we are talking about.

Anyway, if they were guilty they should have their arse kicked.

It's Florida.  Nothing else left to say.

And do you think she won't be targeted once she gets out?

[Calavera]

I agree with Scraphawk. Innocent or not, she sounds like a fucking selfish whore and deserves whatever shit she's getting because of all this.

[ProfessorFarnsworth]

Oh don't you worry, her life is already destroyed. The stigma of even being accused of killing a child with no sufficient evidence to state your innocence is more than enough to fuck you over. I mean with her deranged attitude alone, even if she was genuinely innocent would still attract passionate hatred.

[Calavera]

Not sure if it's just a joke or not, but I read that she's getting offers from some to join the porn industry. I might have to boycott porn soon, lol.

Hopefully the offers are of a 'snuff' nature, at least then we're all know it'll be her first and last performance. God I'm very cruel.

You sure are, lol.
