Would you find her guilty or not? After today's rebuttal(there were some of the phone conversations I had not heard), I would have NO problem finding her guilty on ALL counts!!

    Guilty but I don't think the prosecution did a good job of presenting "Real" evidence. There really is not enough to convict someone of murder. Therefore my vote would be not guilty.

    GUILTY! While I think she MIGHT not be guilty of first degree murder I absolutely think she killed Caylee by accident and then just hid the situation. My ultimate thought is that she was using the duct tape/chloroform combo to knock her out & keep her in her car while she was in the boyfriend's house overnight and Caylee died.

    She is a very disturbing individual.

    I have followed this case starting back in 2008. I have watched every day of the trial! On my facebook, little Caylee is my display picture.

    Yeah, I can see your point with this one - I have listened to most of the trial while working and I think there are some issues with their evidence BUT I don't know that I could vote non-guilty with the evidence they did present.

    I go with guilty, but I've had issue as to whether there is sufficient evidence for premeditated and thus murder 1. I definitely could do murder 2 or agg. They just haven't really put Casey with the chloroform in her hands or mixing it up for sole purpose of murder. I can imagine a series of sedating Caeley and something went wrong, hence 2nd degree or aggravated. In a capital case like this you gotta have a better connection.

    But really...I think this is all going to be moot with the appeals she can do with the quality of counsel she had. Baez is an interesting fella.

    Regardless of what count, this chick did something wrong somewhere in June 2008.

    Makes it hard when the defendant didn't report her missing for a month and then lied and lied to police wasting time.. letting the evidence get damaged. Explain the duct tape with an "accident" to me PLEASE!

    Someone (the only one home was Casey) was searching on the computer, "how to make chloroform, breaking necks, shovels"... innocent people don't search those type of things and then purposely try and delete it.

    I didn't say she didn't do the searches, nor did I say she was innocent. The searches were in March, so there is the possibility that for 3 months she was just putting her "out" while she partied and the night she wanted to be with bf she used too much. The state never really addressed her actually making it and how it really was used. There are other options than one swift dose that killed her. Hence the 2nd or agg counts.

    Remember the burden is on the state to prove guilt and as for the sole purpose of murder, I don't see the best dots connected there. So I do not see her really being able to be found guilty of 1st degree murder.

    I would be disappointed in how sensationalist the media has become that we completely focus on any crime that looks like it has compelling hollywood like story lines and make for a good cause for Nancy Grace to rally around, while ignoring the many children who die or go missing each day, especially in poor and minority community.

    I believe she killed Caylee... there is no reason she didn't call 911 because her daughter was missing for a month! She knows what truly happened to her. I vote guilty! and Hope she at least gets life...

    I also agree that they didn't have enough evidence to really convict her, even if she does get a guilty verdict... she will appeal

    It's sad that only the cute kids who get killed or go missing receive the most press.

    I agree!! I don't know that I could vote non-guilty with the evidence they did present. I can visualize her trying to keep her quiet with the chloroform and duct tape so definitely the manslaughter. NOTE: I have never served on a jury but I sure hope to some day!

    Hmm i havent heard these phone calls.... I was watching the closing statements yesterday at the gym and I was honestly a little torn ... the one thing that sticks with me is the fact that she has ZERO EMOTIONS about the entire thing! Its so sad :( I do think there were a lot of mistakes during the investigation of the crime scene(s). Being a law/criminal justice student (almost graduate) I try to look at all the angles and I find this case extremely frustrating. I hope that justice is served for this innocent young child

    Today Linda Drane Bur**** played a recorded phone call from Casey the day of or day after she was arrested July '08 where all she wanted was her BF Tony's phone #. Casey said "all you guys care about is Caylee" and then in the next breath she said "well I do too". Casey went on and on about getting Tony's phone #. Her mother, brother and a friend all talked to her on the phone and asked where is Caylee and we want to help you. That is what sealed it for me.

    I say GUILTY!!! Yeah, Baez made some good points, but you can tell in her actions, well LACK of actions or emotions, that she is guilty. Accident or not she had everything to do with it... The whole mistress thing and the child abuse BS was just a decoy the defense tried to use to take the light off of the little *****... I have watched most of the trial and caught high points on CNN.com and seen most of both arguments on defense and prosecution side. Think both sides acted a little childish at times but I think Judge Perry will handle them after this is over.

    Guilty on a lesser charge. Not enough evidence that you can say without a reasonable doubt based SOLELY on the evidence presented that she did what is being alleged.

    If it was not murder why didn't she just tell what happened and make a plea agreement. Its better then the death penalty or life.

    It makes you wonder what else she did to that sweet, little girl when no one was around.

    I haven't done much watching of the trial (read: none) but from what I read about that diary entry she made the day Caylee died about how she hopes it turns out for the best, and her partying it up for weeks while her daughter was dead, I'd say guilty just for that. My son went missing for about 2 minutes and I freaked the fu*k out. I can't imagine partying it up for weeks while my son was missing. She can go fu*k herself and die. She doesn't deserve to live.

    I live here in Orlando and our local channels have has coverage from 8:30am through the 6pm news. I was admittedly hooked on the trial and watched often. I think the State did a decent job, given the fact that they dont have hard evidence of what, exactly, happened to that poor girl. I dont think they did enough to prove it was premeditated, but they certainly have enough circumstantial facts and evidence to prove that Casey was negligent, hid the death of a child, and lied to police. Those charges right there should put her in jail long enough to ensure she cant have anymore kids.
    A person like Casey is 100%, alllll about themselves. She is one lie after another, and only looking out for herself. The wirst penalty for her would be to lock her up and ignore her. When the spotlight is gone and no one pays her attention anymore, she will truly feel punished. She thrives on the attention and the media coverage.
    She has effectively ruined her entire family, dragging them collectively and individually through the mud and forever changing their lives. She is the epitome of selfish and sociopathic.
    I think, if the jury can look at the big picture and use common sense, they will see that no one uses duct tape or hides a body to make an accidental drowning look like a murder, as Mr Ashton said this morning. And if you are NOT guilty, why wait 30+ days to report a child missing, after lying repeatedly to family and police who only want to help?
