I have been at turns angry, in turns disgusted and in turns truly compassionate for and with the Anthonys. But what hell can describe what they face with each breath they draw?

I don't think that any of us who are parents won't remember the first time our perfect angelic child told a lie or completely defied our direction. Normal children and normal parents face this and it is the most frustrating situation to know that you KNOW what is best for your child and you KNOW what your values are and yet inexplicably your child early on will completely throw you for a loop. Whether it be the candy you find in their pocket at the age of three that they "don't know" where it came from, or the time they first stay out beyond curfew. It just breaks our hearts and it terrifies us too to know that we cannot direct or completely control another human being who we adore and for whom we have great hopes and complete love and were given complete responsibilty to raise right.

Imagine what the Anthonys are suffering. I can't imagine how anyone would ever, ever come to terms with this.

I believe that Casey Marie Anthony was born a sociopath and that her parents tried so hard to keep her straight and to protect her. Maybe too hard. I think that Casey will still continue to act like the sociopath she is and feel no guilt and that sooner or later the law will catch up to her on something; stealing, cheating, lying, embezzling. I pray she does not give birth again.

As my grandmother often said. " There are things we must bear on this earth that are far worse than death". The Anthonys are bearing just such things from now on. No one deserves that pain. I feel so bad for them.

It's time to move on. Build your mansion. Hold fabulous parties. Enjoy life. We'll always miss in Hadley.

"

Well, the law finally caught up with OJ in the Vegas sports memorabillia case. I take some solice in that...but that still leaves Nicole and that young man dead. I will never understand how a mother whose child is missing does not run to the police immediately for help. Sociopaths generally do everything for their own benefit..I am surprised she did not do the immediate teary pleas to the public ( HEY...I could be on TV!!!) UNLESS she really is guilty. We will probably never know.

We all view situations differently. Can the Anthonys live as a family once again? We know Lee anthony can't. We know Cindy Anthony can and will. How will this affect her relationship with George? Depends on if you believe George Anthony's story or was there some playing out here by all to get Casey home???? Desperate people do desperate things.

How will Casey be recieved in the community? A victim, a pirhana?

The jurors will tell their story. It is only a manner of minutes because surely they will be paid well and each will want advantage and a bigger paycheck and the jurors story has elastic demand.

I predicted a quick verdict and explained to my wife that it would be one of the extremes. After listening to closing arguments I predicted 1st degree murder. Like 90% of the country I am dumbfounded.

Casey will be in the limelight for some time now so she will no doubt capitalize on her infamous reputation. who said crime doesn't pay.

And on top of everything George and Cindy have had to face, they are receiving death threats according to the news tonight. What is wrong with our society that a child dies with no one responsible and their grandparents are faced with a living hell? Where can they go and how are they supposed to support themselves? Will Cindy want her daughter back after what she did to George, and if so, what does that say about Cindy? Such a God-awful mess!!
I wish we could go back to the days of "shunning" where a member of society was ignored by all and no one spoke to them or of them.

Shunning is exactly what the narcissistic Casey Anthony deserves, but it's the constant TV coverage of this like a SuperBowl game that has given her celebrity status and all the attention she craves. She won't care whether it's villain attention or saintly attention...it's attention and that's all that matters to her.

The sicker thing about all this is that the book and movie deals were probably drawn up weeks ago, and by one year from now, she will probably be hosting a talk show on one of the 24-hour "news" networks.

Sicker yet is that people will buy the books, movie tickets, and advertisers' products.

I completely agree with ilovetv -- the worst punishment for Casey (at least in this life) is for the public and media to completely shun her. The more we lust for every sordid detail of her life, the happier she will be. I personally will not be buying any books, or watching any TV or movies that she will profit from.

Casey will get a book and movie deal.

My prediction is that she won't live long enough to collect her millions from the books, movies, etc. There are plenty of armed nuts out there who won't be happy until they see justice for Caylee. I will be surprised if she is still alive a year from now.

Casey may have serious faults, but from the get-go I never believed she killed her child. From the beginning of this fiasco I felt that George was the cover-up culprit of a devastating accident where dear sweet Caylee drowned in the pool.

Have you ever seen pictures of George and Caylee together? Think not. It's very obvious that he was not a devoted grandfather just as he wasn't a devoted husband. Cindy lied to save her child Casey; George lied to save the disgrace of his very own dastardly actions.

We weren't on the jury but we can at least be in charge of our pockets and see that we don't contribute a penny to Casey's book or movie if she tries to benefit from the death of her beautiful daughter--- I am sickened by Casey's smiling face---will not watch any show on TV that she appears on.

so what! Anything that is so OUT THERE will get a book deal. And...guess what? You'll read it. And...you'll look at programs that will feature anyone involved with the case. Look at the other crap that we buy and read. Right?
This is about our justice system. This is about FL law. No concrete evidence? That's what it's all about. Yeah, I thought she was guilty, but that's NOT how the system works.

A pool accident---George helped---o.k. explain to me why the duct tape on the face of a beautiful little girl---why would you even think to put duct tape on the face of a dead child? She drowned--o.k.--accident---you help dispose of body--o.k.--- still unanswered----why duct tape on the face? Please someone explain that to me--- Maybe you can?

Mentally scared, suicide prone George Anthony has by now gotten his gun back from the police. I can see a George/Casey murder suicide coming up.

Casey allegedly failed to pay the IRS $68,520 in taxes in 2008 according to a tax lien filed against Anthony in Florida in May 2011, says a TMZ report.
