Casey Guilty or Not?

[elevatorman]

Is Casey Anthony guilty or not?

[Figmo Bohica]

I don't think that Casey ment to kill her child. I think that she got careless with the chloraform and it was not 1st degree murder but mansalughter. But on the other hand she should get the max sentence.

[raynan]

As I Understand it, even if she got careless with the chloraform it is still 1st degree murder in the state of Florida.

[katezbox]

As I Understand it, even if she got careless with the chloraform it is still 1st degree murder in the state of Florida.

Florida Statute 782.04 defines First Degree Murder as a killing that is "perpetrated from a premeditated design to effect the death of the person killed or any human being." The Florida Criminal Jury Instructions explains that a defendant is not guilty of First Degree Murder unless the State of Florida proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the killing was a premeditated murder, a "killing after consciously deciding to do so."

Based on this, I will have to disagree...

[Pturner]

I wonder if the people who voted "not guilty" in this poll meant she's not guilty of any of the charges, including all four counts of perjury. :shocked:

[Tweety Bird]

Once this trial is over, it still won't be over. There will be movies, bookings for TV interviews, etc. What a circus! Yeah, I think she's guilty, but not 1st degree. She wanted freedom from Caylee. Now she'll have freedom in jail. The whole thing is sad.

[kb8tpw]

If you think she'll have freedom in prison you need to take a closer look at the corrections system. She will be a target, period, you can fill in the remainder.

[Freeda]

In Florida it is first degree murder, as a felony murder, even if the death was not premeditated, if it occurred as a result of an act of aggravated child abuse.

I think she would not be safe in public; and in prison she will probably have to be kept in a restricted area for her safety from other prisoners; either way, not much of a life.

[PennBF]

I think there is a difference between being innocent and not guilty. If the jury votes "not guilty" that does not mean she is innocent. It means there was not enought proof to prove she was "guilty".
I personally don't believe the State proved she is guilty as they never could prove cause of death. And in fact they could not prove who killed her, where she was killed, when she was killed, etc.
I am not saying she is innocent as there was not enough proof to prove that but she is "not guilty" as there was also not enough proof of this.
I really did not like the Judge and could not understand why so many thought he was good. I firmly believe that because of his judicial actions that if she is convicted there is an abundance of errors that would support a mis trial if it ends up as an appeal and it will for sure if there is a guilty verdict.
In any significat trial the defense does what is known as creating a bag for the appeal. They put in the bag (figure of speach) all the possible errors to support an appeal. In this case there is a pretty full bag. :mornincoffee:

I would like to know who made the rule that the state of Florda and it's tax payers pick up the tab for this trial???:mmmm:

[Golf-Tinker]

Off with her head. Or are you in the colosseum playing emperor and doing the "thumb" thingee?

[2BNTV]

This is my first post on this matter and I haven't followed this trial except for the comments made on this forum.

I sure hope that she will not get off because all the dots cannot be connected.

I sure hope that justice will be served for poor little Caylee.

[Barefoot]

I sure hope that Casey doesn't walk out of there a free woman. I'm unsure about premeditated murder, but I definitely think she is guilty of felony murder and aggravated child abuse. Casey has already admitted to lying to police officers, so she will be guilty of those charges for sure. (But perhaps her penalty will be time served).

Unlike PennBF, I thought the Judge did a stellar job. Slow, careful and methodical, and nobody's fool.

[jblum315]

Judge Perry passionately wanted this trial to go through without a mistrial. I admire him very much.
Does anyone know, if Casey is convicted and sentenced, will an appeal be paid for by the State? Because we all know there will be appeals.

[PennBF]

I understand that if she is convicted and there is an appeal the Judge will assign the Public Defender. I heard he is terrific and probably excells over
any of the attorney's currently involved in the trial??:read:

Guilty of perjury only. Too much reasonable doubt on all other counts.

I feel almost physically sick. I can't believe how much emotional energy I had put into my thoughts about this case.

[jebartle]

she is NOT innocent!.....All the smiles and laughter BUT they forgot about a sweet little girl named Caylee.....I feel that her justice is yet to come!!! Maybe she can drive home???? in her smelly car!!!!!!

[Barefoot]

I feel almost physically sick. I can't believe how much emotional energy I had put into my thoughts about this case.

I feel the same way GG. Another O.J. verdict. I am so glad it is finally over.

[CMANN]

I feel almost physically sick. I can't believe how much emotional energy I had put into my thoughts about this case.

I don't know whether Casey Anthony killed her daughter are not.

From the very beginning I was suspicious of the prosecution's case. They spent the first half to three quarters of their time with rhetoric designed to make us hate Casey Anthony. That was what made me very suspicious from the beginning. From that point on I listened very carefully to all sides on the evidence. Prosecution's case just was not there.

I think that most everybody agrees that the defense team was barely adequate. Under those conditions can you imagine how bad the prosecution's case was? This jury was a death penalty jury. What are you going to find with a death penalty jury? You're going to find 12 people who tend to be conservative. They tend to be lower in order types. They also tend to be the type who support the Constitution. What did the prosecution think they were getting? These people obviously are brighter than the average bear.

There just was no case.

Many people try to compare this case to the O.J. Simpson case. It's not a fit.
There were so many people who were and just plain love the O.J. Simpson to say nothing of the general idea that he was being persecuted by whitey.

Nobody liked Casey Anthony.

For those of you who think there was a miscarriage of justice, who would you rather have on your jury in similar circumstances? Me or you?

Perhaps the entire prosecution team should be fired for incompetence.

Just my opinion

[NJblue]

What bothered me about the result was the way the defense team celebrated with hugs and tears for Casey. It's one thing to think she may not be guilty - or at least beyond reasonable doubt, but it's quite another to think that she is actually innocent. How can any rational being think, with a clear head, that she is innocent of all the serious charges?

For the defense team to actually think that she was innocent meant that they believed her final iteration of her story - that Caly drowned and then Casey and her father were involved in an elaborate cover-up that included duct tape and disposing of the body in a swamp. That is such a far fetched story to believe that I can't imagine a rational person believing it. But, supposing that the defense team actually believed it, how can they then embrace someone who so callously disregarded the body of her child? They accused Kronk of being morally bankrupt. I would say that that charge belongs to them.

[ceejay]

I agree, Gracie. I feel so sick to my stomach over this...so much so that I am at an absolute loss for words. I can't stomach turning that television on and seeing her face...

CMANN. I agree fully with you. :BigApplause:

You said it well...not only was the defense celebrating, but after Casey got over the crying, she was all smiles w/the defense. I don't think Caylee even crossed her mind.
It's hard to believe she is innocent...even the jury agreed she lied, but why would an innocent person lie about a nonexistant babysitter having your child. Why would Casey not report Caylee missing? Unless, of course, she knew Caylee wasn't missing.

would you register the same complaint if the prosecution were celebrating?

Evidently you believe that a jury of 12 irrational people got together to find her not guilty.

I don't understand why people who insinuate that they themselves are rational cannot look at the evidence is circumstantial evidence and see that it was flawed. If you go to the emotional evidence the innuendo that Casey is a slut evidence I'm sure that you would find that reason, the execut, her.

I don't know what happened. You don't know what happened. I am sure that Casey Anthony is guilty of something but I don't know what that is. Do you?

A child has died everybody feels that someone must pay. But if the true story is that she drowned. Would that satisfy you? I doubt it. Some people are not going to be satisfied by anything other than execution because she allegedly threw the child away in a dump.

Take all of the emotion out and only look at the facts as presented and rebutted. Would you be convinced?

[islandgal]

Have always thought the Judge rushed through jury selection in order to reach the end of his self-imposed time line.
I've been called to jury duty twice but both times, the charges were dismissed and no trial so I might be taking these comments out of context.
Whatever, it looks like the jury selection was not a wise one. I would think the long incarcerated time for the jurors played a role also in their decisions.

Juror 2 — The IT Worker: Black male, mid-thirties, married, two children: a daughter, 4 and son, 9. Like defendant, Casey Anthony,
juror’s mother was a single mom. “My impression was that, ‘yes, I thought she did it.’ ... If I had to return a verdict, I would say
‘not guilty’ right now.” Death penalty stance: Does not believe in the death penalty. “God is the one that makes the final judgment.”

Juror 4 — The Church Lady: Black female, 40s, no children, lives alone. Unknown occupation. Plays “Farmville” on Facebook. “Most of the time,
I play my computer games” she notes.
Quiet, unassuming, does not like to judge people by what other people say about them.

Alternate Juror 3 — The Widow: White female, age 37, has a 12-year-old son. Was married to a man jailed on drug charges; husband died during incarceration.
She works as a car dealership cashier, lives with her parents, and says serving on a jury would present an “emotional hardship.”

Alternate Juror 4 — The Carpenter: White male, 25, single. The former daycare teacher now works as a carpenter and lives with his parents.
He has a juvenile conviction for drug and paraphernalia possession, for which he served probation.

Alternate Juror 5 — The Water Reclamation Plant Operator: White, 39, married, no children. Former Coast Guard mechanic/military policeman.
Has some knowledge of the case, which was “not big news in my circle.” Prior to receiving a jury duty summons,
planned on taking grandmother to a ball game. He plays computer games. Described a YouTube parody about Casey Anthony by syndicated radio personality,
“Bubba the Love Sponge.”
Recalls odor in Anthony’s car trunk that was attributed initially to pizza. Says, “I don’t like to judge people on what other people say.”

They had to pick jurors who were not aware of Casey Anthony and the death of her child...which means they didn't keep up on much and weren't very well informed and ....mostly dumb buts.

Ooops sorry.

[robertj1954]

This will be my last comment on Casey Anthony; it is time to move on. I understand the not guilty based on reasonable doubt for the 1st degree murder charge. A juror would have a difficult time reaching that verdict without a cause of death. For the average person it is difficult to reach that far based on so little circumstantial evidence.

My shock came when the jury declined to make the child abuse/manslaughter charge. It is my opinion; the jury failed its duty not finding her guilty on that charge. Not reporting her daughter missing for 30 days, until pressured by her family, certainly constitutes child neglect! Anyone with common sense knows it.

My heart goes out to Caylee Anthony. She did not get justice for her tragic death, which is something every American deserves. I hope she is now being cared for by God and as for her mother, Casey will face another judgment in her future when she faces her creator.

[jblum315]

One of the things that got my attention is that the Anthonys slithered out of the courtroom after the verdict without even glancing at Casey. In most capital cases where the parents are present, they rush up to give the defendant a big hug. I know they are afraid of being mobbed and probably afraid for their lives, but it's hard to believe you could see your daughter sobbing and weak in the knees and not want to touch her. Did Mom and Pop believe that the verdict was wrong?

[nitehawk]

I do think the prosecution made a big mistake by not trying to have the trial and the jury picked from The Villages

[senior citizen]

Yes, I noticed that also. I thought they'd go over and hug her. I feel for the parents, but each in their own way is strange......ditto for the brother. What grown man would cry because he wasn't invited to a baby shower? Dysfunctional families "keep secrets".
I believe, in my humble opinion, it was a PATTERN in that family. They wanted to give the impression of being a perfect all American family as the kids were growing up, but enabled them and children do learn by example. I do not doubt that the grandparents loved that little girl......as did Casey.

Although Jose Baez had been villianized in the newspaper "chats" as Bozo, etc.........he did save Casey's life.

She has to live with whatever knowledge she has about Caylee's ending. Unless she is totally heartless, that will be torture enough. As one juror said, "God is the ultimate judge".

I can't imagine where Casey will reside when she gets out of jail on Thursday for "time served". A halfway house? With one of the female lawyers? Certainly not with her family or friends.

I think Jose did present "doubt" in my mind anyway........with the chart of the imaginary friends..........the family dynamic of lying (all of them) or blocking out truths........she was raised that way. This does not condone the death of an innocent child. But, if I were on the jury, with the evidence as presented, I would also have to give the benefit of the doubt.

Why didn't they bring up the fact that the meter reader duct taped his own wife in the past????? George's mistress was believable, so he also lied. Cindy lied about being home that day , on the computer. I wouldn't put much stock in computer searches as we all google things; not necessarily using them for ill or evil purposes. As many said, a lot of the evidence was considered "junk science".

She definitely has mental issues..........why didn't the fact that she had "seizures" come up in the trial???? Jesse Grund had taken her to the hospital. She also told a friend, "I feel like I'm going insane". Something happened. I can come up with many other theories than the prosecution presented...........I wonder if she will ever tell the truth about what happened.

We have a case in Vermont with regard to the gruesome murder of Brooke Bennett, a young 14 year old, killed by her own uncle.......no mass media coverage at all.

Vermont has few murders, thus...this one should have been a sensation. But we don't have the sunshine laws or document dumps up here. I doubt if even Nancy Grace covered Brooke Bennett's horrible demise, but maybe once....if that.

As we were watching the six weeks of testimony and then the final closing arguments, I thought of the Salem Witch Trials.........not that she is a witch, nor all that innocent....but mass hysteria as with the blogging youthful Casey haters in Orlando, it almost seems that way. We all were horrified at the thought that a mom could callously kill her child and toss the body in the woods (swamp after the hurricane came through)..........but after hearing the witnesses........I did have "reasonable doubt" in my mind.....not to say the grandfather covered up an accident that "snowballed out of control".......but it could be plausible. Nancy Grace , I'm sure, is one of the talking heads that Lawyer Cheney was referring to. Anyway, this was the trial of the century and it reminds me of the LIZZIE BORDEN CASE in Massachusetts.......a long long time ago.
I believe she also got away with murder.........."if" she did it. Don't shoot the messenger, just saying that the defense did plant reasonable doubt in my mind.....after three years of hearing the opposite. My husband thinks they should "fry her".

Did Mom and Pop believe that the verdict was wrong?

What wasn't brought out was that Casey refused to see them or communicate with them at all shortly after the filmed blowup in jail when Casey was annoyed at the size of the reward for Caylee, saying that money could go toward her bond to get out of jail.

AND on a public blog by Cindy's brother it said that Casey and Cindy had a huge rift before that, the day Caylee went missing when Cindy told her that she would no longer baby sit while Casey went out at night at stayed out at night. She apparently was trying "tough love". Casey moved out and broke ties with family except for telephone calls and lies for 31 days......until her car was discovered.

So..Casey does not want to see them and hasn't for a long time...and I am repeating only what I have heard and thought the source was credible

Edwin M. from this site gave us all one of those links.

I agree ; I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I thought she would get at least the child neglect for NOT REPORTING HER DAUGHTER MISSING FOR 31 DAYS. The judge's explanation was quite intricate and detailed in explaining to the jury the various options for their ultimate verdict.

CMANN, I think you missed my point. First, the jury did NOT find her innocent - they found her "not guilty". If you recall the chart effectively used in the closing statement by the defense, you can have a very high feeling of guilt for the defendant and still vote "not guilty".

Secondly, my quibble is with the defense and not necessarily with the jury. You and I both agree that she was "guilty of something". For the defense to embrace and cry with a person who, at the very least, treated her dead child like yesterday's garbage, whose response to the death of her child was to party like a terrific burden had been lifted from her is beyond the pale.

To answer your direct question, no I would not have a problem if the prosecution celebrated just as I have no problem with the defense celebrating - as long as the celebration was one solely based on winning a hard earned case. They crossed the line, in my opinion, when they shed tears of joy with Casey.

Some "off balance" folks can compartmentalize their lives and emotions.
She no doubt "blocked out" what had happened. Not healthy coping skills but I think she's had mental issues since childhood (that were not acknowledged or treated by the family). AGAIN, her own mother had said in a deposition that Casey had a SEIZURE and Jesse Grund took her to the hospital. Why? Why didn't her parents take her? What was the reason for the seizure? She had told friends she felt she was going insane. A lot never came out during trial. At first I thought Jose's defense was very discombobulated and all those interruptions........but in the end, I realized he had cleverly planted the thought of doubt. The jurors were going by the law.
Just maybe, the trial itself and listening to all the "stuff" will straighten her out but I hope she does get some type of counseling. The thoughts of her dead child will haunt her for an eternity.

[NJblue]

Sadly, I doubt that she will suffer any emotional distress over the loss of Caley. I don't think she is capable of it. Even more sadly, she will probably at some point in the future have another child.

On the morning news today, a reporter quoted something that Casey had told a fellow jail inmate one year ago. "If and when I get out of jail, I want to get pregnant and have another baby". I just read this earlier today.

I also read in the Orlando Sentinel someplace.....probably a chatter or blogger saying that Casey was already pregnant (with a jailer's child). This may be just rumor......as it said she was two months along....again, it's probably hearsay.

The first quote was indeed on the national morning news.

She apparently told her jailhouse "friends" she was two months along.

So, whatever I read yesterday in the Orlando Sentinel was no doubt taken from the National Enquirer.

Perhaps that was why towards the end of the trial, Jose asked for a competency test. If it's a big fib ????? Don't they have cameras in that jail?

In most capital cases, the defendant hasn't accused her father of incest with no proof offered. She threw her family under the bus to try to save her own skin and she succeeded. Why would they rush up to hug a snake?

I know they are afraid of being mobbed and probably afraid for their lives, but it's hard to believe you could see your daughter sobbing and weak in the knees and not want to touch her. Did Mom and Pop believe that the verdict was wrong?

You've got to be kidding. You do know what this little miscreant did to her family?

Slithered?; you've got a lot of nerve.
