They're back!!

I can't believe this has happened.

What happens to her now Freeda? Does she walk free? Do the lesser charges keep her incarcerated?

Free to lie and kill again.

Very sad situation. Disfuntional family. Poor baby

soon there will be a book and movie deal...such a shame

Well, I can assure you I won't contribute a dime to her profiting from the death of her beautiful child. I hope little Caylee appears to Casey each and every time she closes her eyes with duct tape wrapped around her little face- asking her "why"--and that this image will haunt Casey for the rest of her life. I also hope Little Caylee will be a Guardian Angel for the other children that Casey will probably have. Heaven help them.

Maybe Miss Hot Body can....Hmmm!....I'm just so sad for Caylee!

As unpopular it is to say justice was done I believe this is a great example
of the American Justice System. The state tried to kill a person without any
true proof. It is not important whether she is innocent or guilty..What is important is that they tried to kill her without proof. The results today are
a perfect example of how everyone is protected from unfair prosecution
without proof. The jury heard all the evidence and made their decision. We owe them a huge amount of praise for demanding proof before killing someone.

I was a defense attorney for 5 years and tried 26 jury trials including 3 1st degree murder cases. I was next a prosecutor or 13.5 years and tried well over a hundred jury trials including more than a dozen murder and class A felony cases. I finished my career as a defense attorney for 12.5 years with dozens of jury trials including many murder cases.
The verdict was correct. They had no proof of murder and no proof Casey did it. All of the prosecution "circumstantial" evidence was consistent with an accidental death that was covered up by the disposal of the body. Casey did not act nor grieve like a parent of a deceased child. People react in many ways. If she had testified there was an accidental drowning and coverup, they may have still charged her with murder based on Child Endangerment (allowing the child to have access to a pool and drown in it, and a resulting death... good strategy by her lawyer to keep her off the stand.

It does not matter what any of us think. It only matters what the prosecution could prove. If they had found her guilty of 1st degree murder and executed her those jurors would never had had a peaceful moment the rest of the lives. That is how I finished my closing arguments and I won more than my share of trials.

Proof beyond ALL reasonable doubt.. they did not even get close. The child died, the body was discarded, and Casey did not act like "most" parents "should" have acted. Could you have sentenced Casey to death with that evidence? I could not.

Don't forget --- Not Guilty does not mean Innocent

If I were a resident of Florida I would be highly displeased with the entire prosecution of this case. And those of us who call this an injustice don't know much about our judicial system. Twelve handpicked fellow citizens listened to the evidence brought by a powerful institution called the prosecution, and that jury didn't buy any of it, except for four minor charges of lying to the police. The prosecutors intended that this woman get the death penalty, and she ended up convicted of four misdemeanors. I'll bet that the prosecuting attorney either decides not to run for reelection or gets soundly defeated if he does run. The legal expert at CNN said that in NY four misdemeanors might get you probation, but never jail time. We'll see what happens in Florida, but the prosecutors obviously had a weak case - the jury was out only a total of 11 hours, and never asked to review any of the evidence. That is a serious rebuke of the prosecution's case. Maybe Mr. Baez was smarter than anyone gave him credit for being? And maybe Ms. Nancy Grace isn't as smart as she would like you to think she is.
