Casey Anothony NOT GUILTY

[godreborn]

first, let me preface this by saying I'm American. murdering someone in America now results in two possibilities: universal health-care (which no one but convicted felons have) and free room and board for life if convicted; a multi-million book deal if not. it's no wonder y America has really become the laughing stock of the democratic world. I mean what happened to this country??? I've always been taught that this country is the greatest in the world, but when things like this happen over-and-over again, I have to question that. it's really nothing more than propaganda anymore...

Life sucks, humans are worthless as a species, society is just waiting to die, etc. Get over it. I did.

All day today, I've seen facebook statuses saying things to the extent of "Justice for Caylee Anthony," "Keep this rose going for Casey Anthony," and, my personal favorite, "Justice has failed, but judgement remains." As if she's more fucked now than before. Even if you choose to believe in an afterlife with rewards or punishment suitable to your behavior in life, how the fuck does that make sense? Justice would come with judgement if you're so inclined, and if you aren't, it still makes no sense. Jeez.
Anyway, I personally believe that whatever happened's going to be fine. If they were wrong, OK. Killing more people isn't going to solve shit. Why the fuck would that make sense? You're only raising the body count. If they're right, the people saying they're wrong are assholes. In fact, they've pretty much fucked up her life. Entirely.
There is no recovery from being labeled a baby killer. None, whatsoever. She's fucked either way. This wasn't a victory, and when she gets killed by a mob in the coming weeks won't be a victory either. I can't believe people have so little faith in the system we call justice now. The jury made their call. Nothing's going to change that.
Now chill the fuck out and quit freaking out about something that has no impact on your life.

cant believe it

should any of you guys ever be wrongly accused of a heinous crime you'll be glad that the burden of proof for the state is set as high as it apparently is. better to let a hundred criminals go free than to let an innocent person be murdered by the "big government" everybody acts like they hate most of the time.

"taxes are government overreach! unacceptable! but that chick partied afterwards! KILL HER, GOVERNMENT!"

Thank you, way better than I said it

fucking seconded.

I don't know how the fuck that lawyer could actually defend her and still sleep with a clear conscious at night.

I seriously don't get 'Lawyers'.

I forgot the actual name but there was a really old case in America. And by old, I mean Evolution vs Creation old. The trial was against a man teaching evolution in a very Christian town. The prosecutor was some high-ranking clergyman and the lawyer was a really flamboyant person but very effective at his job. Against the odds the man was proven innocent and it wasn't until after the trial that people found out the lawyer who was defending him was also a Christian. A few days later, that clergyman died in his sleep apparently from the shock of losing.

As for this particular case. From the point of view of somebody who didn't follow it and reading this thread, why are so many of you so angry? Was there actually good proof it was her that did it? Or was it because you all felt sorry a little girl was "murdered" and you all had to blame somebody for it?

Seriously, I have no idea. Was there clear cut evidence or was there "evidence"? Don't think I'm not sad about some girl dying because I am, but I'm not going to just jump in and say it was her mom just because there is some evidence against her and the media vilified her.

This was the famous Scopes "Monkey" Trial, of which multiple films, all named "Inherit the Wind", have been made about. They're quite interesting.

As for the judgement? I'm certainly not happy about the result as the evidence seemed to have made it overwhelmingly obvious that Anthony was guilty, but perhaps, somehow, she was not. I really do not know. And so I will stop here.

Oh dear Casey wants babies again, the last thing we need is a second season of this mess.

More children are going to die by her hand now.

Oh god a second season. Now it'll be a reality tv show.

Yes people who complain about our "justice" system(its not really about justice its about proving guilt or innocence) should look at other models, perhaps they would like those better but the US Justice system is predicated on innocent until proven guilty, YES there have been cases with less circumstantial evidence than the Casey Anthony trail that resulted in (what is perceived as adequate)convictions, but that doesn't mean public opinion is the judge and executioner, like it or not.

There was no solid evidence, therefore she couldn't be convicted. The system seems to work fine to me.

it works fine for me too
I think people are just mad because they can't use their pitch forks and torches
there's no such things as a civilized society anymore
they're not happy until the see a hanging..guilty or not

yes that's how it works, though it was a shock nonetheless, the sad thing is we probably will never know how Caylee died(I have my suspicions but their irrelevant to the reality of the acquittal). Make no mistake Casey Anthony was a disgusting excuse for a "mother", but it seems you can't be convicted for being a horrible mother.

edit: @ 1:27 "Alan Dershowitz argues the prosecutors in the Casey Anthony trial used "junk science" to try to convict her."

It seems like some people are assuming she was only charged with capital murder and was only facing the death penalty which is wrong. She faced multiple counts including murder, manslaughter, and child abuse. I think people arent outraged because they wanted to see her die for what she did, they just want to see her held responsible since she is the one that was supposed to be there to protect the child and the childs well being. If we go through all of the stories shes told, which a lot she has admitted to being complete lies, all of them would still leave some for of child neglect on the table unless the child was truely abducted by some pedo but she never even used abduction as a story.

She did tell detectives that she knows that Caylee is alive but now she knew she was dead the entire time and lied about it?

What's funny, is she will now be making so much more money then all of us (assuming she agrees). Vivid (Adult Video contract) offered her a job. And this isn't a small time business. They've been the contractors of Jenna Jameson and Briana Banks, so this is pretty much a kick in the balls for everyone that she is getting offered a job.

But the thing is all the people who want her dead punished, don't know the whole story, none of us was there, none of us knows what really happened.
Guilty or not people's lust for a "hanging" is all I see.
people are sharping their pitch forks and hyping their mob mentality based on what they hear from bias news reporting.

Guess what people, not everything on the news is real.

should we just start convicting people based on speculations and feelings?

I thought this was a video game forum...

Not enough evidence. You can' t convict someone without evidence. You can't go by emotion or opinion you need hard solid evidence. The body was also to decomposed to gather much evidence other than the duct tape. Even then the place was flooding/raining. It's a dump you can't say that killed her. It's just goes down to evidence.. I think she killed her and she deserves to spend more time in jail, but without evidence you can't prove that. Her partying getting a tattoo of the good life in Italian isn't evidence, although inside you can make the connection that who in the right mind would be doing that instead of supposedly searching for her "lost" daughter...
Just my 2 cents.
