Casey Anthony Trial - Page 3

convention wisdom, according to In Session is quick jury return is likely for a guilty verdict. Vinnie Politan, one of their commentators, is predicting 13 hours.

I'm thinking around 5.

And I think she's guilty ... both initial impression and presentation of the evidence.

So, this is what happened? Prosecution presented facts that show Casey killed her daughter. Why she did it. And why it was premeditated.

Defense tried to claim this was due to sexual molestation as a child. Provided no evidence for those claims. So the judge said that defense could not be considered.

Defense's only hope is to have created doubt in the prosecution's logic. But no smoking gun facts were presented.

Doing everything I can to avoid this trial (just like OJ Simpson's), is that the entire relevant 6 weeks of testimony?

Prosecution presented facts of how and why.
Defense presented excuses and diversions.
Another murderer goes free - IMO.

No offense, but that's not a particularly surprising opinion from you. In fact, it's expected.

Did you get to see most of the trial? I thought it would be slam dunk and she would be found guilty and I never ended up watching even daily recaps.

Now I wish I had!

Offended by your opinion? Hardly.

I watched a good bit. Enough in my mind to see that this is what happens with the system as is. Guilty people go free.

There were a lot more words involved, but pretty much.

The jury is deliberating, Judge Perry just sent them back to the hotel for the night, they start again 0830 tomorrow.

The closing arguments were pretty well done ... lots of facts on the Prosecution's side, a lot of attempts at eliciting emotion on the Defense's.

Rut row, not a speedy resolution.

I spent yesterday with a woman who lives on Orlando. She is totally Casey Anthonyed out. Her children went to the school that's down the street from the body dump site. She (and apparently most of the people that she knows) are all of the opinion that Casey killed the kid and would prefer that she have a long life of suffering in prison rather than the death penalty.

She told a story about being in the Publix one day and seeing some folks she thought she knew, but she couldn't figure out from where ... she finally realized they were George and Cindy Anthony.

classicman · 07-05-2011, 01:58 PM

The verdict is in ... at 2:15!

classicman · 07-05-2011, 02:21 PM

WTF???????????????????????????????
Casey Anthony found not guilty of first degree murder.

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 02:24 PM

I'm not the jury, I didn't even watch the trial. I'm not even her, so I don't know if justice was done or not...but I don't think anyone was expecting this outcome.

Here's what MIGHT have happened on any of the charges:

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.
