Casey Anthony - Not Guilty

coffeefireworks · July 2011

Speak on it....

SHUVUU · July 2011

OMG!!

jthennigar · July 2011

Makes me want to vomit.

kwinkle1980 · July 2011

I am disappointed because I really believe she is guilty. I wonder what her life will be like now?

SHUVUU:
OMG!!

I second this with an OMFG!

mrsfowler1016 · July 2011

i am absolutely disgusted and pissed.

Now this little baby died and apparently it's at NO ONE'S hand? Who the fvck do they think did it? Damnn people are so stupid. UGH. This makes me sick

kwinkle1980 · July 2011

I guess they felt it was an accident. she is not going to have an easy life. She has destroyed her family. I wonder what her sentence will be for the gulty verdicts?

coffeefireworks · July 2011

I am extremely shocked that they didn't find her guilty of the lesser charges at a minimum.

stephers_7 · July 2011

How was her trying to cover up the fact that the baby was gone for a month not a giant red flag!? I"m so shocked and disgusted by the verdict. All she did was lie and lie and lie. This is ridiculous. So who killed that poor little girl? This is horrible.

maiyamoore · July 2011

I'm sure I may be in the minority here but I honestly think the prosecution failed to prove that she actually did it. I'm not saying whether or not I think she did, but the prosecution was very sketchy in proving such. Alternatively, the defending attorney did a good job at making the prosecution look week. Like it or not, I agree with the jury.

06hoky · July 2011

So did they not find her guilty of a lesser or charge or would there be another trial for that? What exactly did they say? One of the news channels last night said she could still get up to 33 years if convicted of the other charges.

I thought when they came to a decision that quickly it was going to be guilty for sure.

Emily513 · July 2011

It really makes me sick. I was just sitting here looking at the screen thinking, you've got to be kidding me. That poor little girl, I feel so bad for her.

GoldenPeaches · July 2011

I am in shock.

What a deplorable excuse for a human being, and now she is getting off practically free.

Rosie24 · July 2011

I am shocked, disgusted, and angry. I had no doubt in my mind that she did it...none whatsoever. WTF is wrong with the juror's? How is she going to walk FREE. I don't get it.

She was found guilty on 4 counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Sentencing is set for 9am Tuesday (I think, or is it Thursday?)

stephers_7 · July 2011

Nancy Grace just said a maximum of 4 years for the charges of lying to police but that she probably will only serve a year of it and then walk free.

Regardless of how the defense did or how the prosecution did....I think people are pissed that there is no justice for this little girl. We have no answers to who killed an innocent child.

partyg1rl · July 2011

Sorry I've been loosely following this case in Canada, was she found not guilty on all of the charges?

I agree. While I believe she is guilty I just feel like there wasn't anything that made it 100% other than gut feeling.

Future R. Murray!! · July 2011

They are saying she might not get any jail time because the guilty charges are misdemeanors.

So now there will be a movie I am sure!!!

iluvmylab · July 2011

My heart breaks for the little girl, who still has no justice.

I agree. They would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that she did it. Meaning, there is no other plausible explanation for what happened. I wouldn't want a justice system any other way. This prevents innocent people from being convicted of crimes they didn't commit.

lckcdc3 · July 2011

This just makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. That poor little Caylee will never get any justice. It can't just be hormones for the reason I'm crying. I hope Casey rots in hell.

Agreed, I do think she is guilty the prosecution just didn't have the evidence to support it...still makes me sick either way.

Kelly1109 · July 2011

Ugh that is awful.

mbf124 · July 2011

What is the defense saying about Caylee being found buried near the Anthony home with duct tape over her mouth? I'm not saying I agree or disagree, I just don't know how they explained that.

I know the defense is saying Caylee drowned in the family pool...so what's the explanation for the burial???? wtf???

MrsKatieK · July 2011

Un-fvcking-real.

LilynJane · July 2011

I thought for sure she would be found guilty of child abuse. I think she should have been found guilty of child abuse or neglect.

lilwildthing · July 2011

I was worried this might happen. I think most people know she killed her daughter, but the prosecution didn't prove it. So sad.

This is all true (I have no doubt she did it). I think her mother is part of what cost the case, the prosecution had no real evidence, etc. BUT, what kind of jury comes back UNANIMOUS after 12 hours with not guilty. I am sickened by the jury.

I totally agree that there has been no justice for the baby; but I have a feeling someone else will end up on trial before too long. I can't see them letting this case go cold with no answers whatsoever. Especially since it's so high profile. All of America (and Canada) will be pressuring them to find the person who did this to the baby.

I agree, the child was missing for 31 days. I think they may open a civil suit for the abuse charges in the future.

Mye · July 2011

I am not shocked, i never felt there was any real evidence proving it was her. She is as guilty as the day is long.

She will not serve a day in jail. She will get credit for time served, and they are misdemeanor, punishable with a max of 1 yr in jail, they may give her the max, but i doubt it

I'm in your boat here. From what I watched of the trial, it was a bit of a 3-ring circus. I don't fully agree on the defense portion, though I didn't see their presentations, just the cross-examinations of the prosecuting witnesses. Baez came off as if he was plucking at any threads he could and misinterpreting the points made in hopes of throwing the jury off. But no, the prosecution did not provide the concrete evidence necessary to convict Casey beyond reasonable doubt.

Do I believe Casey was guilty? To some extent. If she didn't kill her child something else was definitely going on to make her lie and hide the disappearance of Caylee. Her not testifying does raise my eyebrow.

This. I don't think there's a doubt in anyone's mind that she did it, but the prosecution didn't prove it. I told DH yesterday that she'd be found not guilty. It's really, really sad.

2gr8pits · July 2011

We did not watch the trial and have been loosely following it, but with the jury coming to a decision that quickly, the prosecution must not have proved a strong case. It was hardly any deliberation at all for a monumental case. My DH is an attorney and he said she will receive less than 4 years and time already served counts towards that time. I just want to know what happened to that poor little girl! Karma is a b*tch!

I tend to agree w/ you. Granted, I think she's guilty and deserves so much worse than what she'll get, but the prosecution didn't prove it. It's a tragedy, but I can't fault the jury.

What were they supposed to do? Sit there and twiddle their thumbs for another 24 hours to appear sufficiently "torn"? There was not enough concrete evidence to persuade the jury that there was no explanation for the death of this child other than murder by Casey. It is still possible that Caley drowned, and that Casey was scared of the repercussions, and so did not report it. It is also possible that she was happy her daughter died, but that doesn't make her a murderer in the first degree (a sick psycho, yes; a murderer, no.) It was clear as day that the prosecution had nothing linking Casey to any act that involved Casey's death - that's not the jury's fault, and the jurors shouldn't have to put on a show to satisfy the public. Their task is hard enough as is.

Yes - I have a gut feeling that Casey was involved in some way with her daughter's death. In our country, though, our gut feelings are not enough to convict a person of any crime, and I thank goodness for that.

aijah · July 2011

i'm at a loss for words over the verdict. but i keep thinking that maybe, much like a lot of people i wanted Casey Anthony to be guilty so Caylee can get justice. so maybe our judgment is clouded by that want. but it's undeniable that Casey Anthony knows something she's not telling to save her ass or someone else.

nilly5 · July 2011

Whether she killed her daughter or she "drowned", Casey acted like she didn't care that her daughter was gone. THAT is not a true mother!!

sportsmomma · July 2011

Regardless of whether or not she really did it (we can't know for sure), I still was physically ill to watch the defense team celebrating, to hear the one defense attorney scolding the country/media for "media assassination", Jose Baez saying that this assassination shows how we don't care about the Constitution (uhhh, what about free speech?) and watching her laugh and smile - regardless of being found not guilty, your daughter is still dead and there is no justice for her. Ugh, just makes me sick.

MrsKatieK:

No, there's not. The judicial system worked the way it is supposed to. The burden of proof was on the prosecution (innocent until proven guilty). They failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Would you rather be presume guilty until proven innocent?
