Casey Anthony Trial - Page 7

Sundae · 07-12-2011, 12:30 PM

I'll go for "I Lost An Angel" as the auto (ghost written) biography.
Where Casey is the real victim, rather than her daughter, because Casey has to live with the tragedy. And with other people's opinions of her.
And evidence re her abusive childhood is conveniently dropped because it was a stranger murder.

With a couple of fill-in chapters about JonBenet and the Marie-Celeste to pad it out.

I think Sundae nailed it. Add in a chapter on that Megan kid, and it's a best seller.

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.

ps JUST LIKE OJ JUST LIKE OJ. Hardly just like OJ. What a silly already overused comparison.

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.

I don't know much about this, but I feel strongly that there is a definitely probable possibility that she might not be not guilty, or guilty for that matter, although we can't exclude the possibility of the former superceding the latter--or vice versa!

Right on!

Pete Zicato · 07-14-2011, 11:55 AM

I really didn't follow this story much at all. Did she ever give any explanation of why she never reported her daughter missing?

HOF!

So I heard today that there was a pro bono expert analysing social media (tweets specifically) during the trial to get a feeling for what the public felt about the prosecutions case as they were putting it on. They shared this info with the defense who then tailored their strategy to what they believed would most dramatically affect the jury.

Ie: if a lot of tweets said the public didn't like the father and felt he was hiding something, the defense would then create doubt around the father and a conspiracy of silence involving him.

Wanna bet judges start ordering tweeting out of their courtrooms?

Also, I've read that there are allegations of witness tampering, which are being investigated by the police. No idea who or what, however.

They can and usually do ban cell phones in the courthouse. The tweets would have been out in the real world by people watching it on TV. There's nothing the judge can do about that.

Experts telling lawyers how to tug on the heartstrings of the jury is a long and pretty advanced tradition. It's even what Dr. Phil did before he was discovered by Oprah and got his own TV show.

Edit: What surprises me is that somebody did it pro bono. They must have been fairly new to the field and were trying to build up their resume.

Apparently it's the first time the tactic has been used by analyzing tweets during the actual proceedings.

I suppose it's because this one was big enough that it made it onto twitter's radar.
