    It's sickening. Funny she can cry now....where were the tears when her baby was "missing" for 31 days???? I guess all of the "alibi" stories the defense presented were enough to cast doubt in TWELVE jurors minds.... Just like with OJ - getting away with murder!

    The law does not necessarily equate to justice.

    They jury can only do so much. My boyfriend was just a part of a trial where he so very much wanted to convict a guy but he just couldn't because the evidence wasn't there. They have so many rules and so much that has to be proven to get a guilty verdict. And all of the jurors have to agree...

    It's not a problem with the people, it's a SEVERE problem with the system. That horrible woman will get what's coming to her eventually.

    That is true, But ....still she admitted to Choraforming her daughter so she could go out to the clubs. Tell me thats not child abuse. She overdosed her and left her in the trunk of her car and they had proof of that! Its just so sad....Our juicial system is all out of wack!

    I'm so sick to my stomach, can't even eat my lunch!! I'm in total shock!!!
    Casey showed more emotion being found not guilty then she did for the lose of her daughter.

    I haven't really been following the story...so what is it that makes everyone think she's guilty?
    I think the main thing is the fact that she hid the "truth" for 31 days...lied about where her daughter was, etc. There is a whole lot of grey matter in this case, with her parents included.

    The verdict does make me angry, but I think Karma will get her.
    Think about it- In trying to save her own *kitten*,she ruined her relationship with everyone who had been supporting her-Friends and her Family for sure. None of them will come to her aid after this.
    She won't be able to make new friends to mootch off of because everyone knows what kind of person she really is now.
    She doesn't have that mask of the sweet girl anymore.
    She'll never be able to get a job. Not even flipping burgers somewhere. Everywhere she goes, everyone will blame her for it.
    She won't be able to go shopping without getting confronted and screamed at or have things thrown at her. Oh, and the whispers. Everywhere she goes, people will point and whisper about how she should have gotten the chair.
    She will constantly be reminded of what she did and constantly be held accountable by society instead of getting to sit in a tiny room and watch tv for 50 years.
    For someone who cared SO much about their self image, I think it's almost poetic in a way.
  • People get away with killing kids everyday. I only pray there is an after life and a God! Because I'll be waiting when they cross over!

    It's "OJ" all over again.

    I totally AGREE!!!

    I think she was guilty, but I'm not on the jury. I'm not judging by the same standards that they are REQUIRED to judge by. And, from what I've read about the trial, I think I would have had to have returned a not guilty verdict, too. Do I believe that she did it? Heck yes. But that is based on my gut, my emotions. Do I believe the prosecution proved their case? Did they present a situation that proved to me, LOGICALLY (not emotionally) and beyond a reasonable doubt that she did it? No. Not even close.

    All I can say is, that I truly hope little Caylee is in a better place. That little girl should not be gone, and whatever led to her death was a horrible tragedy.

    Unfortunately I have to agree with you. The fact that the whole crime scene where she was buried at was completely a mess is detrimental to the case. If she was abusive before she did it.

    I'm sorry, but to not report your daughter missing for a month then she winds up dead? And after the wild goose chase she put law enforcement on after that by fabricating story after story? That ***** is guilty, and those jurors should forever carry the heavy weight on their hearts for letting that little girl's murderer go.
  • im local to this story so we've been following it since she was reported missing.
    here a link to the story

  • Literally in tears. No justice for that poor little girl.

    you know what .... this is awful. she killed that little girl. this isn't the end of it though. Casey Anthony will NEVER be able to walk down the street, go into a store, go out to eat, NOTHING without being surrounded by people shouting "murderer!" and trying to harm her, or worse .....

    We can only hope! Because honestly she deserves so much worse than that. The way she was smiling and giggling in court after the verdict made me sick to my stomach.

    agreed. you know there will be those who know where she lives and try to burn down her house, or do something. the woman is going to have to live in a tent in the middle of the african safari if she ever wants to go a day without someone reminding her that she got away with murder, that she's a sick woman, and doesn't deserve to walk free. I'm disgusted.

    I disagree. While we all hope that happens, unfortunately, people will forget all about who she is, and I bet within 2 years she can walk anywhere and not be recognized.

No, they dropped the ball. Instead of relying on evidence they just played on emotions. The defense was able to poke so many holes in what evidence the State did have and in the end the jury followed the evidence and not their emotions. I think that Jose Baez and Cheny Mason had great closing arguments the other day where they attacked the lack of hard evidence. That said, she did just get away with murder. But we all meet our maker one day and she will have to answer for her actions.

    I am just sitting here wondering what on earth is wrong with this world, and how someone such as that witch could get away with killing such a beautiful and innocent little girl? I sit here and watch my 17 month old run around and wonder how on earth someone could harm a child as sweet as that? I hope GOD gives her exactly what she deserves!

    People are NOT STUPID...You people listen to a BUNCH of TV PUNDITS and go with THEIR Prejudices, they Skew evidence just like in Politics and YOU follow THEM. EVIDENCE...What can the Prosecutor PROVE?! Just like with O.J. the EVIDENCE was NOT there for MURDER! THIS is OUR system, do you want to Trash it because of a case YOU don't agree with every 20 years...HELL NO!

    NOW MOVE ON!!!

    well said. i am sickened by the jurors letting her walk, and i could never, ever, as a juror, vote not guilty for her. However, as far as the jurors final decision, my hopes, is they think that life being bombarded every single day of her life, being rejected from jobs as you said, etc etc, will be more torture than jail could provide. in there, she doesn't have anyone beating it into her head what she's done, she can live in la-la land in her own phsyco mind. then once she gets the death penalty, there's no more suffering on her end. in my opinion, this is the verdict in which she will SUFFER THE MOST. Perhaps that IS the justice?

    This deserves to be said again! I 100% agree with you.

    This.

    Most of you have CLEARLY never served on a jury, nor do you have a grasp on how our criminal justice system works.

    I have to agree. Do I think she did it? Yes. Did the DA PROVE it? No. They proved she lied, that she was a lousy mother, that she was a waste of a human being.

    But that doesn't prove murder.

    Once again, I think she's guilty as hell, but they didn't prove it.

    ^^^That....still didn't stop me from screaming at the TV and bursting into tears...but if they didn't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, then they can't convict. But Casey's life is basically over, she will never, ever have a normal life again. Wonder how much $$$ she will make off of her baby's death?? Karma:explode:

    Apparently beyond a reasonable doubt now means on videotape in front of hundreds of witnesses. What @ssholes, those jurors should stay out of public for a while.
