Well I wonder NOW!

Eeeeks. Interesting theory.

Yeah. That's the way it is, and I think it's crazy. But my understanding is that they don't want the jury to have all the written testimony in front of them because they could wind up getting bogged down on trivial matters that have no bearing on the important issues of the case.

I think that both lawyers should be able to give the jury a ten page outline of their arguments with imbedded quotations of relevant testimony and exhibits. An executive summary of each side's position. That would give the jury some information they can refer to and would also keep them focused on the issues each side thinks is important.

I was wondering that too, Nirvana. Where's the dad? Do they even know who Dad is? Yeah, who the hell knows.

The whole thing is a big show. I am surprised she wasn't even convicted of child abuse. I thought there was enough evidence to support even that. But like so many people mentioned already, the jury gets limited information.

Many agree, but we have to let the system work. Some guilty go free, hopefully we can minimize those innocent that serve time unjustly. Far from perfect, but I wouldn't change it for any other place at the moment.

DNA testing was done and both George (dad) and Lee (brother) were excluded as possible fathers.

Wouldn't that be a heck of a Maury show ...

HLN was talking about whether or not the biological father, if ever identified, could pursue a wrongful death civil suit against Casey. Heck, even Casey may not know who he is.

She has already been served by Zenaida Gonzalez' attorney for defamation of character.

My prediction: Casey Anthony will be dead within two years, either suicide or drug overdose. Is it too late to add her to my celebrity death pool?

I think she may have to go into some type of witness protection program of security, they have already stationed extra cops outside of her house.

Bullshit. You are so high on drugs. It was EXACTLY like OJ.

OJ: Running back for the Buffalo Bills, portrayed a navy SEAL, African American

CA: Running back for the Buffalo Bills, portrayed a navy SEAL, African American

What more evidence do you need? Next, you're gonna start in on the whole six million lies thing, aren't you?

If the trash bag don't fit (over Casey's head), you must acquit

Thanks foot3. I guffawed.

The real issue is the prosecution went too far in charges pursued without any real evidence to back it up. Hearsay is not evidence. They had very, very, little to offer.

Beyond a reasonable doubt, remember. They didn't do their job, if she was, in fact, guilty.

I read a repost on CNN of twitter comments (because I don't EVEN get the whole twitter thing, what's with the 'at' sign or the pound sign or whatever sign that precedes 'tweets'? But I digress.) It was about our justice system being based on "it's better to let a guilty person go free than to convict an innocent person." This is why the prosecutors need to do a good job and NOT rely on the emotional opinions of the masses, thinking the jury can't rise above emotional opinion.

You're a damn genius. :D

Looking forward to Casey Anthony's non-fiction book that will be titled, "The Perfect Murder - How I did It". Even OJ could not use that title.

Sounds like a made for Lifetime movie.
