I Know Longer Believe

How did we not hear everything they heard. I think we probably heard more then they did , "Pretty stinky"? as a mom wow that putting it midly. SHE DIDN:T report her daughter missing for 31 days That is a down right horrible mom.

I said pretty stinky because I didn't want to get points for saying bad words. We did not hear all of the sidebars. Were the camera's rolling every minute of every testimony? We did not hear what was behind closed doors.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I just deal and recognize that I'm not seeing anywhere near the stuff in the quotes I'd be seeing if I didn't have them blocked.

Suppose you are driving down to WDW alone with your DD. You stop at a gas station to let your DD use the restroom. She goes in alone but never comes out. You go in to find she has been murdered. You were the last one to see her alive so you must have been the one to murder her; right?

There are issues with your analogy.

First off, I think most reasonable people would enter the bathroom, see their child, check for signs of life, and call 911. They would also be incredibly distraught by the event...and I doubt they'd be seen at a video store, or out partying with friends, in any proximal time frame.

I doubt most (or even many) parents would find their child, worry instantly that someone might think them responsible, back their car up to the bathroom, load their child in, wrap them in blankets and material already (not to mention readily and ONLY) found in their vehicle, drive a few miles away, dump the childs body, and then tell everyone the child was safe and sound, with someone else (or with you) and unavailable to talk. I also doubt that most (or even many) would concoct the charade and perpetuate it for 30 days.

Yes, it's true: That ALONE does not make the parent guilty of the death of their child. But the behavior is so out of character, and out of the norm, that it makes it hard to create any equivalent analogy to place someone else in Casey's shoes.

In addition, there are things in your scenario, above, that would generate pieces of evidence. The date/time stamp on the pump showing when you were pumping gas (assuming they're the standard digital pumps that all generate transactions...rather than the old manual pumps). Witnesses in and around the gas station. Possible (probable) security cam footage of the parking lot and/or interior of the store. Potentially your credit card transaction from pumping gas (or, the clerk's testimony who activated the pump when you went in to pay first). The physical evidence in and around the crime scene, itself. That's just to name a few of the dozens of potential pieces of evidence to support your claims that your daughter went into the bathroom, never exited, and you found her.

Again, I don't mean any of the above to comment on the verdict...just on the premise that something like this could happen to "anyone". It would take a "perfect storm"...which is potentially possible... for it to happen. But the above analogy isn't entirely apt, all things considered.

I think this may be what you were asking for:

http://insession.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/04/jury-instructions-in-the-casey-anthony-trial/

Thank you for that. I can only assume from reading this that the jury did not find enough proof to assert that Casey Anthony killed her daughter. All of the lesser crimes require that finding to be true before they can be applied.

Until/if we hear more from the jury we won't know that.

Correct (more or less). They had to find her responsible for her daughters death (not, necessarily, that Casey killed her) to charge her with any of the lesser murder charges.

Obviously, they could have found (seperately) for child abuse or lying to LE.

Just because some of us agree with the verdict does not mean we think she was innocent. NOBODY on this thread heard everything the jurors did.

Suppose you are driving down to WDW alone with your DD. You stop at a gas station to let your DD use the restroom. She goes in alone but never comes out. You go in to find she has been murdered. You were the last one to see her alive so you must have been the one to murder her; right?

Do you call the police?

Or do you pack her up and lie about her where abouts to everyone?

It appears some posters are looking to convict on the "fact" Casey was the last one to see her daughter. The fact that she didn't report her missing. The only thing that proves is that she was pretty stinky as a mom; not that she murdered her.

That she was the last to see her is alive, no one else has come forward to dispute it. Even her defense hasn't alleged that. To pretend she was not if just grasping at straws for reasons I can't even begin to wrap my brain around

Again that she didn't report her is a fact that points to conscientiousness of guilt couple that with her stream of lies to keep people off track

I just read the report from Jurror's #2 and #3 and I feel terrible for them to have to make that decision. I think they explained their thinking, frustration, and ultimate conflict with the decision they made.

It sucks but given the evidence presented I think it was the right outcome. I wish the prosecution would have brought lesser charges but apparently they said they tried and the grand jury denied them.

So, the lawyers were having champagne. I hope they had caviar too. Some of that team busted their rumps for 3 years and they won. If the prosecution had won and had been drinking champagne, would people still be complaining?

If they wanted to toast champage, jump up and down, and dance around, they could have done it in a more private location. They made themselves look like cold, heartless, idiots.

If the prosecution had won and done the same thing, I would feel the same. There should be no celebration when there is a dead child.
