Our system is not "broken". It is the best in the world and every American
should be proud of our system. I have traveled in Europe , etc quite a bit and I am proud of our country. I am disgusted with anyone who falls prey to those who would like to run our country down. ![]() |

This was a post on someone's Facebook and I thought it was an excellant way to look at this whole thing. We all can have an opinion of course, but ultimately it is the jury who decides. I agree our system is THE best in the world. There certainly are exceptions where it
************************************************** *** "I read this on a friends status- with thought I would have to agree----I wasn't in the courtroom to hear what the jurors heard only what the media cares to share with us. Jurors can only vote guilty if they have NO doubt. I don't know this mom personally, I don't know anything about her life growing up before this all happened...I will not judge...only God knows the truth."

I think that is where the jurors may have been confused too Jen. The law does NOT say the jurors must have no doubt. I think someone else tried to point out on another thread how television crime and television court dramas have given people misconceptions about reality and our real criminal justice system.
I personally know people who have been abused physically, sexually, mentally, verbally and every combination you can put together. They wouldn't kill anyone. Killing your child because you were abused as a child is a terrible defense in my opinion; but apparently in this crazy world we live in, it works. It is sad to me to think that Casey Anthony may end up serving less time for killing her own child than Michael Vick spent for fighting and killing dogs. Our values are really perverted. |

I did not and do not take their comments as trying to "run our country down" but respect their opinions based on the two cases I cited. So direct your disgust elsewhere. I will not add a "big applause" icon to this message as I don't need self gratification for providing my thoughts. |

No system of justice is perfect. I happen to think that ours is the greatest. Some do not.
Which would you prefer, an imperfect system that occasionally allows a criminal to escape justice or would you prefer a system that occasionally kills the innocent? I think you know which one I would pick.

However, I do not think that the prosecution's case was compelling enough for capital murder. Personally, i have always thought she involved - but that the prosecutors did not connect the dots enough for me...

[QUOTE=RichieLion;368569
Plenty of dots enough for me.[/QUOTE] For me too, and they were all connected to each other, and the only person they all connected to was Casey. I wonder if all the science presented actually sort of backfired by contributing to an even higher standard of proof than 'reasonable doubt', subconsciously, in the minds of the jury. To me the most compelling evidence was the nonexpert evidence.
