Casey Anthony Trial - Page 4

classicman · 07-05-2011, 02:26 PM

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

and yeh - zippy's wood chipper would probably get a LOT of use if it were up to me. Thankfully, it isn't.

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!

It just seems so odd to me.
A dead child, a mother lying and partying for a whole month after her death, not even contacting the authorities.

I don't give much credance to the smell of decomposition, that's opinion.
But if a parent does not report either the accidental death (which her defence suggested) or kidnapping of a child, surely they should be answerable in law?

I'm not saying she should be put to death.
I'm saying if she walks away with time served there are questions to be answered.

search for "Casey" on openbook. A lot of people care a lot.

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 02:37 PM

What is openbook?

eta: I searched it but it isn't doing anything.

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.

Can someone explain to me the benefit of the 5th amendment? Obviously I understand what it does, but why is it a good thing? Why shouldn't we be able to make people take the stand and give answers to questions they don't want to answer?

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 02:44 PM

@ c: So, it's good that you can't wish everyone into the cornfield, right, and that we have a legal system...otherwise you'd go broke buying pitchforks and rope.

But do tell, what is better than "as is"?

Clodfobble · 07-05-2011, 02:44 PM

No, don't tell. Stop it.

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 02:45 PM

Moi?

OK, I'll shut up 'cause YOU said so.

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 02:48 PM

As to the case: she didn't even get child abuse charges. Just the misleading the cops or whatever.

Though we all know there are all kinds of child abuse (some of it so sly that it slips right under almost everyone's radar) I do not know: were there allegations of any former abuse or neglect in which Casey was implicated?

classicman · 07-05-2011, 02:52 PM

I'll take the 5th.

@ IM - You are reading into my comment as usual regarding "as is"

infinite monkey · 07-05-2011, 02:54 PM

I'll drink a fifth!

Sigh, I wasn't reading anything into anything. You said that "as is" the system lets murderers go free. Seems to me you think things should change.

Maybe getting rid of the 5th amendment? Or chucking the whole constitution, because we know better (not reading into what you said, reading into what Clod said.) I can do some reading into action. But it's a serious question if you, or you, could look beyond your initial reaction to most things I say and realize that.

I'm kind of the dumb man's genius.

But I don't need to get my ass kicked again for your sake, so I'll let this soon to be circular maddening argument go.

Bzzzzzzzzzttt therein lies the problem.

The system is designed so that guilty people go free in exchange for the innocent being prosecuted (as much as possible) - IMO.

Oh and just for fun - the polls are starting ...

Was Justice Served in the Casey Anthony Trial?
No - Casey clearly killed Caylee and has gotten away with it.
80.12%

Yes - The prosecution didn't prove that Casey committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
19.88%
