Casey Anthony trial- verdict is in!

Wow, I think someone just broke Facebook!

It's just so sad that Caylee will not get justice.

I'm disgusted with the verdict too. I can't believe she got away with it.

I have to believe that most in the jury believe that she's the scum of the earth and that most in the jury probably believe she did it, but I guess they just must have felt that the state just didn't prove their case.

I had mentioned this a couple of days ago, but the Prosecution did not make its case. there were way tooo many holes.

I am not happy that the prosecution failed to meet the burden of proof.

I thought the Prosecution did a great job of summarizing what they had, but I was afraid there was just too big a gap between what they showed and what needed to be shown.

Baez did his job (couldn't stand to watch him) poking all sorts of possibilities into the Prosecution's case.

Amazing how everyone here is quick to be judge, jury and executioner. The reactions here and elsewhere are precisely why there are trials, and people are not judged by public opinion.

No system is perfect, but it's the system that is in place and you have to respect the system as a whole.

The Prosecution let Caylee down. It was the State's case to lose.

I can not believe this.........it's like the OJ trial number 2.
People all over the web are talking........I think she would be safer in jail from what is being said......The juriors may want to take a long vacation as well.........I feel bad that they were put in this position...it could not have been easy.........
The facts are that child killers an molestors are targeted in jail, where there are guards everywhere it is going to be a whole other ball game outside of jail for her.....hopfully no one will think to take the law into their own hands........because that would do no one any good, no one would win.
Soooooo basically no justice for the sweet little angel who did nothing to deserve the way her life eneded.....makes me sick.

What in the world!! I can't believe it. Somehow not reporting the DEATH of your Child or that your CHILD is MISSING is NOT ABUSE???!!! I am going to be sick. Yes, prosecution did prove their case by disproving EVERYTHING this lying woman tried to use to prove. Who invents entire groups of people for no reason? Bad verdict all the way around.

 

[MelissaFromRI]

I am sick to my stomach....

Based on what people have posted here and on Facebook - I wouldn't want to be one of the jurors after that verdict!

I don't think they were happy with the verdict, given that they wouldn't look at her.

I was on a civil case once where what I wanted to find didn't match what the Plaintiff's attorney had proven. It was hard enough to do the correct thing given the evidence.

I can't imagine how difficult it was for the jurors in this case to follow the law - as it was explained to them - rather than what their personal judgement might have been.

Jurors don't want to talk with media.

Paul, you don't think it's okay to judge someone who admits to being the last person to see her child alive, and then spent a month lying about it and partying?

I respect the fact that the system worked but Caylee did not get justice!!! Having lived this case daily for the last 3 years I am disappointed in the verdict.

Casey will never be "free" - even when she is released from jail. She will always be thought of as a child killer for the rest of her life - even if she is innocent.

I hope Karma visits Casey.

So true ... look at OJ.

The State did not charge her with Child endangerment. It is the duty of the state to meet the burden of proof for the charges it brings. But what people fail to realize is that for a Death/Penalty case, you have to meet the highest burden of proof. The State focused on the the #1 charge and let the others kind of slide. The state was shooting for a homerun but ended up striking out.

The State let Caylee down. The Jury found Casey not guilty. Jeopardy is applied. "someone who admits to being the last person to see her child alive, and then spent a month lying about it and partying?" is not an admission of guilt and is circumstantial.

The long and the short of it - The State did not meet the burden of proof for each of the charges of which she was found not-guilty.

I'm just sick over this verdict! Bet she gets timed served Thurs. Then she can go right to club Fusion to celebrate!

The people on the Community board are already posting call outs to Dexter... and these are nice, gentle, non-criminal Disney fans.
