You cannot expect a guilty verdict on "this is what we think happened" and emotional conjecture. The judge made that clear from the start when he told the jury what their responsibilities would beand that they could not convict on emotion to events, whether or not they liked someone, or whether they appoved of that someone. To not sequester a jury would be an even bigger crime. No one in this country is supposed to be or should be tried by the media and the court of public opinion.
I don't believe that she intentionally killed her child but the child did die while in her care, whether she drowned or whatever. Someone doesn't plan a killing and then drive around for days as she supposedly did trying to figure out how to dispose of the body. That would have been part of the plan. Had she buried her in the backyard (another speculation), their dogs would have found her within days. She knows what happened and so does the rest of the family. The whole family is so disfunctional it's pathetic. To report her "missing" when she was not would have just been still another lie.
The State messed up when they were hell bent on first degree premeditated murder complete with death penalty. Based on what they presented, the jury couldn't buy it. They based almost their entire case on scientific theories, partying, and tattoos. You can also thank dear ole George for her acquittal. He was the most unbelievable of all. I think that's exactly why they didn't convict her of anything. I couldn't believe that neither the prosecution nor the defense followed up on his testimony about that morning. At the time, I wondered if I had heard him right. He described down to the last detail what Caylee was wearing, what program was on tv and when the commercial was, and that Caylee told him that she was "going to see Zanny". Wasn't "Zanny" a BIG component of this whole thing? Listen to it in George's own words. Just Google George Anthony's Testimony and watch and listen to George Anthony: MurderTrial Day 12, 5/24/11, Part 26. The part about the conversation with Caylee starts at 4:20 into the testimony. (He couldn't remember other details including whether or not he owned duct tape in later testimonies because it had been too long?) I think JP let him ramble on and on when he was on the stand in hopes he would end up hanging himself. Not one other person who testified was allowed to lecture the prosecution and the defense or say whatever they pleased. He tampered with evidence and that was just for starters. His testimonies were so full of holes, swiss cheese couldn't compete.
I would just as soon see Ashton make money off this case as the Anthonys, the Nancy Graces, the so-called memorial builders. A much more fitting memorial to this child would be direct donations in her name to children's charities such as Children's Miracle Network and St. Jude's Research Hospital. That's where mine went (St. Jude's).
