Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty

Re: Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty

The Natalee Holloway case lost steam, so they needed a new story to sensationalize. It wasn't a news story at all.

What bothers me is how people are so up in arms over this case, but are ignoring the 5 kids every day that are dying as a result of child abuse.

The reason people like myself are so invested in this case is BECAUSE of the known child abuse around the world.

If nobody cared about kids being hurt, molested or killed, this story would have no interest to people like myself.
I'll admit that I had a hard time choking back tears the first time I saw pictures of Caylee Anthony.
No kid deserves a horrible parent like her's.

I seem to constantly be asking this whenever specific cases get dramatized. But I'm pretty sure we all know the answer.

Wow...

That's actually pretty hilarious...

Re: Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty

He's questioning why this one gets all the publicity.

It's because this story was beyond the norm of 'Dad drowns kids', or 'Mother abandon's kid'.
This story had so many twists and turns it was like a movie.
And it didn't help that Casey Anthony was a young attractive girl herself.

Nobody has the time to google every missing child case. The media jumped on this because of the extraordinary circumstances and it came to the forefront for most media outlets.
People started reading and bingo, it's a big sensation.

Just because the media glorified it, doesn't give anyone the right to say those who were interested in the story weren't genuine about their feelings toward that poor little girl.

The people who voted "No" on the poll are pretty full of themselves... knowing better than the jurors who sat through all testimony and evidence and deliberated for hours and hours. Unbelievable

Seeing as how a lot of us watched pretty much the entire trial and saw most of the testimony and evidence and the same things the jurors did....

...maybe we just think they were wrong?

Yes, the legal system is perfect we should never question it.

Or they are just giving their opinion on the verdict.

I don't doubt for a second that you think they're wrong... what I'm saying is that it's fairly arrogant to assume that your opinion is even remotely as valid as theirs would be.

They were there for every question of every witness for every day. They were there for every argument presented by both sides of lawyers. They had access to all of the facts and information that our legal system determines is FAIR for juries to have access to - nothing more, nothing less. They spent hours deliberating and deciding if they were going to use the power that they had in their hands to legally kill another person.

I understand people having their own opinions, but I frankly think they're full of themselves if they think for one second that they know better than the jurors. People like Money99 are really frustrating to me.

I do not believe that someone would cover up an accidental drowning by making it look like a murder. I don't think I've ever heard anything like it. That's why I'm convinced beyond a doubt she is guilty.

Re: Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty

Disagree. It has a lot to do with the kind of people that make up a jury.
I've heard lawyers say "If you were a smart person, you wouldn't be on a jury. Smart people know how to avoid them".

It's not hard to get out of jury duty. And I'm not talking about the petty stuff that takes a day or two.
For a case like this, where you know you'll be sequestered for a very long time, you'd be an idiot not to work your way out of the selection.

And that's the kind of person that made up the Casey jury.
I can almost guarantee that in the next day or two, you're going to hear some very ignorant and 'dumb' statements from some of the jurors.

Someone will say something ridiculous like "I often fight my depression by entering into hot-body contests too." or "I just felt someone wouldn't be THAT dumb so she must have been innocent."
Just wait.

And before anyone spouts off saying "just because she went to bars, doesn't mean she's guilty"; hogwash! It's called character witnesses.
Her defense team paraded out people saying how she looked like a great mother that one time she gave her daughter a candy bar. That's to show the jury that she'd never kill her daughter.
It's no different than showing the jury how in that 31 days while Caylee was missing, she didn't mention ONE TIME how her kid was missing to any of her new friends or boyfriend.

It's to paint a picture of the person they're trying to convict. Showing examples of how little this woman thought of her daughter is a big piece of evidence to prove to the jury that she's more than capable of having the kind of disposition to kill her kin.

So everyone on a jury is "sad, unemployed, and uneducated" because they couldn't get out of jury duty?

And because Lawyers say it, it must be right.

That would be funny if it were true. Yes Bob Kardashian was part of OJ's original defense team but for all of a few weeks as he dropped out and Cochran took over.

Anyways, can't say I care either way about this decision. It sure as hell looked like Anthony was guilty but really I can't be arsed over a case that is really nothing in the grand scheme of things yet the media huffed and puffed and made it into a sensation.

Bruh you gotta stop.

Not sure if you've realized it yet, but we live in a digital age. People know the prudent evidence. You sound naive.

The justice system is black and white, so I understand somewhat the ruling.

You act as if they had some sort of inside knowledge or closed document information that we don't have access to. Stop.

You also have to remember the media presented the evidence to us in a way to benefit themselves at the expense of Casey Anthony.

Not to mention the scientific evidence linking the dead body in the trunk of her car.

And my point still remains, the general public had access to all of the important details, evidence and timelines.

Acting as if the jury had the insider's perspective? Get out.
