Casey Anthony - Not Guilty

While I'm sure those with more intimate knowledge of the case and legal proceedings in general will come in and educate, all I can say right now is fuck this shit.

I am so disgusted by this verdict. I'm in shock to be honest especially when there was more than enough evidence to get her a guilty verdict. I just cannot believe this.

I'd say I hope her conscience haunts her for the rest of her days, but I don't think she possesses one.

Hurray! Now I can stop scrolling past a full 50% of the top news stories on any given day.

I find the amount of energy expended in the media on this on a daily basis a bit disturbing. Instead of trying to make things better for all kids in jeopardy, this gets turned into a media circus. Guilty, not guilty, this became a distraction instead of a learning moment.

We all know she did it. But, based upon the shitty evidence presented by the prosecution I couldn't have convicted her either. One thing to keep in mind Casey, karma's a bitch!

The only emotion she seemed to show was when she was declared not guilty. It's disturbing.

I''m sure she'll be the star on plenty of talk shows in the future to let us know how horrible she feels.

I also wonder how long it will take for her book deal to go through and how many reality shows she will now pop up on.

I cannot agree more with this statement.

Coming soon to member review!

I wonder if she will get time for lying to the police?
It is a slap on the wrist compared to what she really deserves.

More than likely it will be considered time served.

Sickening.

I have to wonder, and I don't mean to insult anyone here, but how many people are angry at the verdict based on the bits and pieces of testimony the media fed to the public? I am not claiming to know if she is guilty or innocent. I'm wondering how much the trial was warped to make it ready for public consumption. If evidence is thrown out, there has to be a damn good reason for it. Same for testimony. If there is reasonable doubt, that means there isn't a certainty that the crimes were committed.

So, for all the people who are sure she is guilty, despite the jury, why are you so certain? How CAN you be certain? Was it because of the TV analysts? Was it because of the short snippets shown by talking heads who are paid to raise the drama of any given situation?

She'll burn in hell, thats for sure.

I am with you on this. I didn't follow the trial, but had I been following the media I might jump on the "she's guilty" bandwagon.

That's just it with these major media cases (again, not asserting innocence or guilt in this case). She was deemed guilty in the media before they started jury selection, which is why her jury came from a different city in Florida than the jurisdictional court. Did that change the information the media provided? Did they only show the parts of the trial that pointed toward guilt?

give it 4 months for the book deal.

I don't think without a shadow of a doubt she is guilty, as I don't know all the facts presented but I do find it curious to admit and be convicted of lying to the police about your child missing yet not believe something foul was afoot as to why she lied to the police. That along with the basic facts that the child was missing for over a month before being reported missing and her defense presenting she drowned accidentally, makes me believe that she most likely had a hand in her daughters death or at least in a cover up of it.

I honestly hadn't heard anything about Casey Anthony before my Facebook page exploded earlier this morning. So in the interests of talking-to-me-like-I'm-stupid, can I get a recap of the zeitgeist? I take it from the reports I've read that she lied repeatedly to the police before ultimately conceding she was there when the baby died, disposed of the body, but contested whether she caused the death. She also showed something of a casual indifference in the months afterwards. Am I missing anything in this recap?

I was certain they would find her guilty. I'm also surpassed still that they managed to find a jury anywhere that wasn't saturated by the media's reports to the port they were able to deliberate impartially.

I asked myself the similar question I did after the OJ trial, "if she didn't kill the little girl, then who did?" a little girl is still dead and they call it an accident. A not guilty verdict in a jury trial doesn't exactly mean a person is innocent, it can also jmean there just wasn't enough evidence to convict. So all in all we still don't really know.

personally, the whole you-don't -make-an-accident-look-like-a-murder factor was what sold ME on guilty. There wasn't any media coverage about this where I live, so I don't see how you can blame the media circus for everyones opinion.

Also- the tattoo would be in poor taste at the very least.
ZANNY? Comeon.

In America the press gets their hands on a juicy story and they run rampant with it. That's why the jury had to be selected from a place that wasn't saturated with the coverage. And I can only imagin the headaches it caused by the people tasked with the search.
