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.

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??

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

Just my opinion

Who else should pay for it? Read the Miranda warning - if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

The jury has reached a decision !! They'll be in the court room soon !!!

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

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

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.

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...

[alemorkam]

CMANN. I agree fully with you.

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?
