The Right Scoop- KenInMontana
They are correct, about the only thing that came out of this “circus” was the fact that the woman should not have been a mother.

Although since you mentioned public schools, the District Superintendent has put out a new policy statement that the Pledge will be reinstated in all elementary and High Schools, to be recited daily, that is pretty much every school in town (8 elementary and 3 high schools).

I keep wondering, if she didn’t kill her child, why did she lie so much? Why did she even feel the need to lie? Where did she think her child was for those 31 days? Why wasn’t she absolutely frantic like her mother was (who actually made the 911 call)? I’ll never get that call out of my head. I’ll always wonder if the child suffered in the end.

One possibility is that she found the child had died either from accident, disease, or whatever, thought the police would blame her, and began spinning some story to push them down some other line of inquiry.
Or she’s nucking futz, and was in some kind of altered state.
Then again, she may have killed the child. But the prosecution didn’t prove it.

i don’t believe that it was ever proved that she should not have been a mother. as a matter of fact, no one ever even hinted that she was not a good mother. no one. not any witness or her parents, or the prosecutor. i know, we are so full of hate that we will not allow ourselves to believe that she did not murder the child. they could not prove even that the child was murdered, dead, but not how. that duck tape was not exactly adhering to the skull. that is impossible. when the flesh shrinks the tape would fall off, and the tape was “near” the remains. they remains had been disturbed. more people who were around the car said they smelled nothing to alarm them, than those who did smell something. also they never proved the remains were in the car anywhere. look folks, i don’t understand the things that we do know for a fact, but i do know for a fact that there is no proof of murder. and that is what this is about. and spare me please with the justice stuff.

Justice may have been done in the courtroom today when the verdict was rendered but when all is said and done, Casey Anthony and her family will have to live with what happened for the rest of their lives.
Sadly, a little girl will not have the chance to live out the rest of her life as those who survive her will and be left to write the books, make the movies, do the talk show rounds-let the Anthonys get on with their lives, let them face their demons, let their consciences rot but what we all can do is to let them do that-let them live their lives of quiet desperation – don’t buy their books, watch the movies, the interviews, anything that would smack of capitalizing on the death of a child.

I will admit that I was one of many voyeurs who watched this case for over three years and when I heard today’s verdict-in spite of of all the experts weighing in on the merits of the prosecution’s case – I was numb.
What I said above came to me after watching the defense team partying it up, being interviewed by the likes of Geraldo Rivera-in full view of the public, flaunting their “victory” – this was no victory for anyone.
A child is dead, a family in ruins and in spite of all of the talk of the system working, of constitutionality, of legal matters, when all is said and done – where is the victory?

I have to admit, that I didn’t watch the trial (but heard enough on the news) but when I heard the verdict, my husband said I looked ready to lynch her. I was floored, and angry. Now though, that I’ve had time to “cool off”, I just find the whole thing sad. We don’t live very far from where this happened, so all of this has been a long well publicized deal from when Caylee first turned up missing. I prayed for her back then, and for the family. Everything that has gone on since, I could go on and on too- but what’s the point. As you said, there is no victory. It’s sad to see Caylee’s sweet little face, but I am glad she is with her Heavenly Father who loves her and knew her before anyone else had ever heard of her… I pray her family would know Jesus.

I agree 100 percent with Levin. The defense attorney’s closing statements shot so many holes through the prosecutions case it was a joke. The prosecution’s case did not provide the burden of proof, pure and simple.
- Anonymous
I almost always agree with what Levin says. I avoided it mostly, but wondered: how can the state convict someone of murder if they can’t first prove there was a murder? I think the jury got it right.
- Anonymous
Exactly. I watched Greta last night and she interviewed juror #14, one of the subs who sits through the whole trial like a juror incase one of them has to leave for some reason. He said he agreed with the verdict because the prosecution could not prove a murder was committed. His thoughts were that a horrific accident took place, possibly. He said none of the defense stuff about child abuse, etc., had any effect on him, it just came down to there was no proof a murder took place.
- Anonymous
I know what an “alternate” is.
I saw the first few seconds of Greta, in which she described this absence of proof as a “flaw” in the case. A “flaw?” The complete absence of a case is a lot more than a flaw. I shut it off after that.
Ancient history. Gretta became a celebrity as one of the two legal “experts” covering the OJ trial for CNN. She spend a year describing most developments at the trial as “bad for the defense.” In this country, what makes you a celebrity almost doesn’t matter, and Greta later got her own show on Fox doing the same thing she did on CNN – jumping to unreasonable conclusions. And while I am on fame and celebrity, what’s next for Casey Anthony? Dancing with the Stars? Dancing with Gretta?

If Casey decides to get out there and get book deals, and whatever else. I feel the more she exposes herself, the more she will be exposed.

The state of Fl just like the state of Cal (OJ) choose the path to pursue, they could have gone for a lesser charge but instead decided they wanted a death penalty conviction. That I believe is why the state lost.

Actually the jury was given the full gamut of charges or verdicts to consider from murder one all the way down to manslaughter.

There were seven charges brought against Anthony:
1) First-degree Murder — not guilty
2) Aggravated Child Abuse — not guilty
3) Aggravated Child Manslaughter — not guilty
4) False information to Law Enforcement Officer — guilty
(employment at Universal Studios) – max sentencing – 1yr
5) False information to Law Enforcement Officer — guilty
(Caylee with baby sitter) – max sentencing – 1yr
6) False information to Law Enforcement Officer — guilty
(informed 2 people that Caylee was missing) – max sentencing – 1yr
7) False information to Law Enforcement Officer — guilty
(received call and spoke with Caylee) – max sentencing – 1yrJudge gave her max time for each count to be reduced by time already served.
One reporter said she was arrested Oct 14,2008 — so 4 years would be Oct 14, 2012
minus time served less the time off for good behavior – he figured some time in
Feb 2012. Heard several legal pundits say that person usually only serves 85% of
sentencing. - Anonymous
So I hear today that when all the math is done and over with, she gets out Saturday, which will probably be at mid-night Friday.

If that is the case, then the prosecution couldn’t even show beyond reasonable doubt that Casey directly caused Caylee’s death. Whoever in the DA’s office decided to walk into a courtroom not even able to prove that needs to lose their job.
- KenInMontana
All the evidence against her was thinner than the smoke from a cigarette outdoors, they couldn’t pin anything directly on her, so the prosecution hoped to convict her in the court of public opinion. As for her behavior, well all they managed to prove is that the woman has serious maturity and likely some mental issues.

She may not be tried twice, but the scorn of public alone is going to be pretty bad I would imagine. And even if not, Id bet the guilt or whatever in her case you might substitute for guilt (paranoia maybe?) will wear her down.
I am more interested on the dynamics of her relationship with her own parents from here on out. Do they welcome home the daughter who has thrown them under a bus in a bid to save her own murderous ass? Im a parent, and I know this may sound cold, but I wouldnt want that crazy B%&*^ back in my home. If they dont recognize the monster this girl is, then God help them. As Bill Cosby said, I brought you into this world, and I can take you out. Too bad her parents hadnt put a stop to their daughters habit of being a liar and a selfish person. Tough love was needed and because they were in denial about Casey, well, this is what you call reaping what you’ve sown. Pitiful all in all and all around. - http://pulse.yahoo.com/_FGBGUV7OLREHZ6VXYJ63QT5CFY Steve

I am surprised at the amount of hate on this post. Most of you said you did not watch the trial, so in reality you took the words of the LSM as to what happened, you let someone else decide what you thought as to the guilt or innocence of Casey Anthony.
This case was tried in public opinion court before the trial even started and many bought into it. I’ve been listening to all the reports from different channels interviewing people and find it appalling that people seem to have no mind of their
own, are so easily lead.I DID watch the trial almost every day (my hubby is glad it is over so the house will get cleaned again) only missed a few days and had the same questions as the jury seems
to have had – the state never proved murder, never connected Casey Anthony in any way to Caylee’s death, never proved when she died, how she died, or where she died. Everyone bought into the idea that Casey had to have done it because she was out partying, having fun, never reported her missing, and lied about it to law enforcement.
But none of those things prove that she murdered her child. We still don’t know when, how, or where she died and probably will never know. People need to do a reality check, step back from this case emotionally and look at the facts – that’s what you have to do as a member of a jury — makes me wonder how many people are found guilty of a crime they did not commit because the jury processes the information presented on emotions rather than facts. - Anonymous

This may be the first time I’ve fully agreed with Mark Levin. This link shows a very well-detailed layout of exactly why the justice system actually worked the way that it should have in this case. Think about all the people who behave the way that one “should” behave, yet they are in fact the culprit. Also…this is just my own morality speaking and I know Scoop has hated my stance on such things before, but here goes. I would much rather see a criminal go scott-free than to see an innocent person sent to prison for years of their life stolen by society or even worse send them to death row where they could basically be wrongfully executed.

just because there isn’t glaring rock-hard solid proof that something happened, that does not mean it didn’t happen. sometimes, things don’t leave much proof behind. oh and, if she’s so innocent, then yes, the partying and the 31 days does seem suspicious, and also, why lie to the police? she WAS found guilty of that. if she didn’t kill the girl, why would she need to lie?
casey killed her daughter because the girl was an inconvenience, and she wanted to go party with her bf and stuff. yet she now GETS AWAY WITH IT!!! unbelieveable!!!
it’s nice to know that if a murderer covers his/her tracks well enough, they can murder and murder all the people they want to and they will never get punished for it.

If i took a wild guess i would say, a time out that went terribly wrong as a result of caylee crying profusely and making a lot of noise. Which caused casey to put the tape on the mouth & nose. Little caylee suffocated & died as a result. The family realized what happened & collectively covered it up.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/May-Jon/100002146373083 May Jon
The tape on kaylee’s mouth & nose suggest she was alive before it was applied so that rules out drowning. The verdict is tragic, but in the american justice system the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt and they didn’t do that in this case. It’s a double edged sword, and the guilty do slip through the cracks exploiting just that i.e. oj simpson.
- KenInMontana
The remains were so badly decomposed that it was impossible to say if the duct tape had even been applied to the girl at all. Something else the press conveniently left vague in their reporting of this case. The coverage has gone quite far in supporting the argument that cameras should be taken back out of the courtroom.

The jury system works most of the time. In order for it to work the public must believe that they got it right and without question or you might just as well ask Nancy Grace or any other self appointed expert. For the record I think that 1) she is an unfit mother 2) she is innocent and was found to be so by a jury of her peers.

I just wonder how many of the people who wanted to see Casey Anthony convicted of murder also wanted to see DSK in prison, too. This country is so pro-prosecution and I don’t get it. That’s not how we set the Constitution up. The law is set up pro-defense yet we as a people are never on the side of the defense. We are quick to judge someone guilty and even when they are aquitted we refuse to believe it. Why is this? Why do we have such a hate for defense attorneys and the entire idea that people are, in fact, innocent until PROVEN guilty?
I plan practicing cimrinal defense once I’m out of law school, and I have to say the reaction I see of some towards defense attorney’s gives me pause. John Adams was an attorney who acted as defense multiple times. Someone HAS to do it. Yet, if society is going to generally hate them, even though it’s required by the constitution that someone does it, are we not then hating that part of the constitution?
Everyone hates attorneys, especially defense attorneys…untill they need one.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_6URBNMP7T2YQ2N3KQ37VN4M7GI Cathy
I agree with you. I did watch the trial – and found nothing that would produce a guilty verdict in the states position. I think the state figured this was slam-dunk case because she had already been convicted in the court of public opinion.
People don’t think for themselves anymore – they eat whatever the LSM feeds them, never questioning the meal.
I hope once you graduate you continue with your plans as a criminal defense attorney, because the way people are acting, you will be needed. Good luck.

The prosection did not try at all. They were prosecuting Public Enemy Number One, so they assumed a guilty vedict would be easy. The defense, however, worked VERY hard because it was all an uphill battle for them. It’s your classic Big Guy vs. Little Guy senerio….where the little guys wins due to trying twice as hard
I normally don’t post stuff like this but given the overwhelming belief that justice wasn’t served today, that the jury got it wrong, I find this clip to be an interesting one. Today Levin went on Hannity’s radio show to discuss the Casey Anthony verdict, which he fully agrees with. He says quite simply that the prosecution wanted the death penalty and they failed to even prove murder. He believes they shot too high with what he says wasn’t even all that much of a circumstantial case. And to the point of all her lies and the 30 days or so when she was out partying, he says that’s unthinkable but there could be a myriad of reasons why she did that. But it doesn’t prove murder.
Here’s the segment in full:
