Casey Anthony NOT GUILTY & Sentencing Thread 6

[PixieDust32]

All I'm saying is, using their own words, they didn't do it within the law. That has always been my frustration.

It was a verdict reached dishonestly. I know we have no recourse, but I don't see the point in trying to justify their actions.

Exactly!

And when, by June 18th Cindy noticed ladder up and gate open, and told LE of this even before the cadaver dogs were sent to the home didn't anyone think to take a sample of the water if a forensic test could've proved something?

It is an assumption on my part but even into August when LE are throwing it out to Cindy as a theory that Casey had covered up a drowning wasn't it tested then?

Coulda woulda shoulda - the answer would've helped alot.

LE can't look at every single possibility. It just isn't humanly possible. It is like asking why they didn't take every single knife from the home just in case 3 years later the defense decides to say during opening arguments that Caylee was running with a knife in her hand and accidentally stabbed herself.

Baez asked if LE took samples from CA or GA car. Why would they? Caylee wasn't in there and their cars didn't smell. There is only so much they can do. They didn't have any idea that 3 years later a defense attorney is going to claim GA was involved when he didn't seem involved at that time.

At the time in question, Cindy indicated that the ladder was up and the gate was open. So what? How does that lead to the police automatically thinking, "Wow! That's it! This is likely an accidental drowning and the body must be hidden for some strange reason. Quick, someone get a water sample." No! They were searching for a little girl that had supposedly been kidnapped. It isn't a coulda, woulda, shoulda situation. It is common sense. People sneak into yards to swim all the time. It doesn't mean you assume a child drowned in that pool when the mother is telling you she was kidnapped.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 - 200,000 of those rolls were sold, not that it matters really, because it's reasonable to believe the duct tape came from the Anthony home - whether used as a murder weapon or for
whatever part it played in the disposal of her body.

What's really interesting in regards to the duct tape is the first time the gas can leaves the home with a search warrant it doesn't have tape on it, but the second time it does - yet no Henkel duct tape was found in the Anthony home.

Where was the tape?

I'm not sure why this was interesting? They took the gas cans, returned them and the white valve had come off. George put duct tape over it so the next time they took the gas cans, the duct tape was there. The family used the duct tape to hang up missing poster signs and eventually used up the roll which would explain why it wasn't in the house. That doesn't seem even slightly odd or off to me.

I just heard that Cindy tried to visit Casey in jail and Casey refused. I knew that wouldn't take long.

The only thing that surprises me is Cindy wanted to see her

ICA used the awful family dynamic to fool the jury and it worked, it's now in her best interest to purge herself from them and mooch, steal, lie, cheat grind and abuse others for the time being

I have to admit, I am a bit curious to know who the foreperson of the jury was ...

Juror #11 . White male in his early 30s. He teaches physical education and health to 10th graders. He’s been a teacher for 15 years.

Great example of good jury selection. Defense wanted young males... Here is another alternate's comments:

Dean Eckstadt, 25, was one of five alternate jurors who witnessed the testimony during the 33-day trial but did not participate in deliberations.

Eckstadt appeared on NBC's Today show on Thursday morning.

Asked whether he thinks Anthony is innocent, Eckstadt responded, "That's a hard question. She was a liar; she didn't tell the truth most of the time, (but) to actually kill her daughter, I don't think so. I believe that she may have had knowledge of the situation, but to actually kill her child, I don't believe it happened."

As for why Anthony did not report her daughter missing for 31 days, Eckstadt said he thought her home life played a big part in why she did not face the reality of the situation.

This is an alternate, was not in the jury room. So I guess alternates also cant define who Caylees caregiver was. I guess poor Caylee took care of herself since no one else did. And so alternates and the ones in the jury room let me say this if this happens to your child dont be surprised when someone says they dont know who the caregiver was. Even though you are the one with legal custody and no one else. And if you cant figure out who the care giver was how do you mark the box Cassey wasnt the caregiver either since you dont know.

Parents supported ICA & Caylee, no penalty for stealing, given a car, babyshower, nursery, live-in babysitters, grandparents who adored Caylee and mother perjered herself to protect ICA,



Gee I wonder what else came into evidence during the trial that would give the jury that impression????

Well, yeah ... what more can she expect out of the Dad and brother she threw under the bus? I doubt they'll help her. And, even though Mommy was willing to fall on the sword, she doesn't have anything left over to steal or pawn off. Time to find some other suckers.

Typical Casey ... she needed Mommy to lie and got it. What can Mommy do for her now? Nothing. How can Mommy benefit her? In no way whatsoever.

I know it will never happen (at least until he retires) but I would love to hear what Judge Perry feels about this verdict. Did he look at those verdicts and think, "Holy ****! These people are crazy." Or did he think their decision had sound merit?

 

[mickeyboat]

Agreed...

though if she got up and wandered out--why wasn't she in her jammies and why was she wearing a shirt that noone had ever seen but Casey?

Lisa - I was just reading the Marcia Clark article and noticed the picture from the article is one where Caylee is wearing that shirt and Casey is playing a guitar. Someone must have taken the picture so someone else had seen her in that shirt before.

Another thought I just had regarding the shorts she was wearing. Why would Casey dress Caylee in shorts that were too small for her?

I'm not really going anywhere with this, but the picture reminded me of this post.

 

[a1tinkfans]

I am so sickened by the entire situation. Yet feel compelled to keep abreast of it for some crazy reason....Like I keep thinking, that poor innocent child, throw away.
And I do believe she did it. Not guilty is NOT Innocent in my book.
So, personally, for me, I can only rationalize it:
the jury as Intellectually Deficient...
Its just my opinion and how I feel, so there it is...take it or leave it...

Me too. If he writes a book, I will read it.

What -- for Casey to oogle and flirt with? Who would find her cute and attractive and dateable and would want that piece of tail to go free?

They were a size 24 months, like many other items of clothing she wore at that age. Where is the evidence that they were "too small"?

"I'm concerned about the individual that may want to fillet someone." Mizz Anfony is road kill

 

[CurlyGirl]

Here's a question I'd like to ask the jury ...

If your little girl died accidentally, would you have dumped her body like garbage? Or would you have allowed someone else to dump her body like garbage?

Me too , me too , me too!! That is one book I would buy in a sec!! I so wanted him to say something!

It worked lol!

When my DD was 2 or 3, I dressed her in shorts that may have been too small all the time, they are little kids, they have elastic shorts, I didn't run out and buy new ones every time she grew. I don't think that a mom dressing a child of that age in shorts that are too small, just to play in, is that big of a deal. To me, that is nothing that provides any type of doubt as to weather Casey had anything to do with this.

Anything can be reasonable doubt. but the job of the jury is to connect the dots, to make senses of the evidence, the behavior, the testimony of the witnesses, everything, but this jury were looking for the perfect evidence, they didn't wanted to do their job, they wanted the state to show them and they would had to say ohh yes, its here. I've seen so many cases where the evidence is even less than in this case, but the jury does their job and they ask questions if they need to, this jury didn't, juror 3 said that they had questions but didn't bother to ask. It seems that they wanted to solve it like if it was en episode of CSI, where they always find the smoking gun and all takes place in minutes or hours. The more they talk, the more stupid they look. Specially juror 3, anyway, they blew it.

Thanks! I totally agree with your assessment.
