I guess the thing that bothers me the most about this case is the number of people that are declaring her guilty before the prosecution has finished presenting their case, much less before the defense even has the opportunity to present theirs. So much for everyone being entitled to a fair and impartial trial. There is nothing fair or impartial about that. I only hope and pray the jury isn't doing the same thing.

This is why there are two parts to a trial. Maybe she did deliberately kill her child, maybe it was an accident and she panicked, maybe she covered/is covering for someone else. That is the whole purpose of a trial...finding out as much as humanly possible about guilt or innocence.

Just like everone else, I have opinions. I also have many, many questions and am willing to wait for, hopefully, the answers to those questions.

I remember the trial of Cullen Davis in Texas. It was moved from Ft. Worth to Amarillo on a change of venue because he was such a well known oil tycoon in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and it was determined that as such, he would never get a fair trial in Ft. Worth. ("Racehorse" Haynes was his attorney.) He was found not guilty. (Not guilty is different than an acquittal.) One of my friends was on the jury and told us afterwards that they felt that he probably was guilty, but they could not convict on their feelings. They determined that the state had not proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt and they could not render a verdict of guilty because of the state's failure to build a tight case.

On another note, I find it totally digusting that people would fight and act like the very animals they want to accuse Casey of being, just to get into the gallery. Why don't they simply print numbered tickets, pass them out to those waiting, and then pick so many numbers with only those being granted admission (lottery, if you will)?
