Casey Anthony verdict

BrideBuddiesBrideBuddies member
in Parenting after 35

She's guilty only of lying to police.   Not responsible for the death of a human being who just happened to be her own child.

Apparently stuffing your dead child's body in a car trunk and then dumping it in the woods is okey dokey.   "Oopsies!   I guess I accidentally put her dead body there... my bad!"

I know it's "reasonable doubt," but surely she did SOMETHING wrong in this whole thing.

Poor little angel.

(And granted, I did not follow any of the trial.. can't stand this long, drawn out drama)

    I feel the same way you do. It's such a tragedy.  I don't see how she's NOT responsible, but there was (apparently) not enough evidence to convict.

    I think she's responsible but this poor child will never have justice.

    Poor little thing, I doubt they'll ever know for sure. There's lots of cases like hers out there, and I always feel sick when they go unsolved like that. My dad worked on one from the early eighties that he was determined to close before he retired. I remember him working on it as a kid, and was devastated when he said they would never be able to get enough concrete evidence for a conviction, even though they were certain who did it.

    Stuff like this is making me lean to going back in that field in some way, I can't sit and not do anything. Which is why I am still considering going back to complete my degree in criminal psychology, since law enforcement is out. It would make up for the fluff I took in uni.

    I'm not at all surprised at the mom's behavior though. Her pattern of behavior has never changed her whole life. What worries me is that she will be able to procreate again.

    Amen.  She'll play on the celebrity thing for as long as she can, have another kid and it'll be a big mess.  Poor little girl.  I feel like there was no justice for her.  I only hope karma takes care of that.

    I didn't follow the trial at all, but it sounds like CA was guilty as hell. I mean yeah I get the whole "beyond a reasonable doubt thing," but it's still a shame she wasn't convicted.

    RIP little girl.

    I saw a clip on TV a while back of one of the defense attorneys saying something about the chloroform that was used on the little girl.  In the context that the prosecution had no real case to prove that it was the mother who did that. 

    If not the mother, then who??????   Where was the mother to protect this child against some mythical chloroforming boogieman monster????   Oh wait.. it was mommy who did that.    But that's not something that is child endangerment, apparently.

    Oh.. and why wasn't she charged with abuse of a corpse, for crissakes?   That was pretty much a given.   Unless the corpse abusing boogieman did that, too.

    Casey Anthony will still have to face a judge someday.  She'll be dead by then, but her future won't be nearly as cushy in Helll.

    This is a heartbreaking story and even more so now that the mother gets off scott free.  I feel like I am reading more and more about terrible fates for little ones...maybe I am just noticing more now that I am a mom.   When someone is found guilty, we can hope that they "get theirs" in prison.  Even in prison, there is a moral hierarchy and those who hurt kids usually don't fare very well.

    How this woman can live with herself is incomprehensible.  That poor little girl had a monster for a mother.

    I didn't follow it, and in fact I can't even read up now because I am just way too pregnant and hormonal to read about horrible tragedies that I can do absolutely nothing to fix.  It's all just so twisted.  :(

    This. The scary thing and the comforting thing about believing in God is that you have to believe in a judgement day.  Comforting because it will happen for the Casey Anthony's of the world.  Scary because it happens for us too.

    Yeah, this I don't understand, because she admited to dumping her in that ditch. At least she should have been convicted on that, and give that little girl some dignity.
