What a soap opera. The most AMAZING thing about this whole drama is the fact that the jury actually thought for themselves. Most juries these days, at least in the cases involving mostly circumstantial evidence, just go along with whatever theory the prosecution presents and votes for conviction. I dont like to see innocent children die but if you dont know how it occured you cant convict someone for it just because the masses want SOMEONE to pay. The sad thing about this case to me is the poor mother. She lost her whole family. She finds out her husbands a cheater, possibly a pedophile. Son might be an incest pervert. Casey hates her guilty or not because she basically told the police her car smelled like a dead body. Casey denied a visit from her in jail. Pretty bad if you turn down a visit FROM YOUR MOTHER while you are in the clinck. Basically she lost her whole family, sucks to be her. Casey is going to be a millionaire after her rounds of book deals, radio/tv appearances, paid tabloid stories. I know there are ways to keep a convict from profiting from their murders. My guess is here its wide open as she was judged to be not guilty. What do you say TLB folks?
IMHO the whole family is a bunch of pathological liars and narcissists. I don't feel sorry in the least for any of them. However, I feel a great sadness for Caylee, there is no justice for her. FB
There was a defense lawyer on Jeanine Pierro or whatever her name is, that my husband was watching late one night and she asked the panel why anyone would want to pay her a million dollars for her story (wondering the same thing myself), and this guy said EVERYONE wanted to know and hear her. Well, I'm sure I'm one of a few million who don't want to hear or read anything she has to say. I've had it up to here with hearing her name and the her defense attorneys and everything else about it, and I didn't even watch the trial, just kept hearing about it time after time on the news outlets.
My Mom watched that trial and ALL the coverage from the time she got up until she went to bed. She kept me well informed as to the goings on. I could also hear it playing in the background of our phone calls. Boy am I glad that's over!!! (for now) I don't think we've heard the last of Ms Anthony. FB
I agree the jury did the right thing - the whole scenario painted by the prosecution is like a book with a few chapters missing. I was with them up until body-in-the-trunk... But then what? It just skipped to skeleton in the woods. Even if the grandma took the stand to confess that she told her daughter she was not to assume she'd babysit for free while the girl partied and drank, that would be SOMETHING (since it would point to the "I don't want to be a mother" motive). But they didn't. Wondering what the hell really happened there is the same exact feeling I get with Tate-LaBianca. Based on what I know about Linda K's life, Casey is free, but she's going to have a very hard life.
Here's my theory on what happened. Casey got mad at the baby for crying and she wouldn't shut up, so she put tape on her mouth, and mabye the tape shut the nostrils and Caylee suffocated. Casey freaked, hid the body for a day or two, then put it in the trunk and kept it there until she could figure out what to do with it. Then she found a place to put the body and it was found months later. I'm sure it was an accident, because I can't see a mother killing her baby on purpose (part sarcasm and part wanting to believe she wouldn't kill Caylee), and she appears not to have the mental maturity to do anything but hide and cover up the facts. But either way, she should be made accountable, whether she killed Caylee on accident or on purpose. I guess its one of those cases where you need to see everything up close and personal and not trying to figure out what happened on a decomposed body. I'm sure the counselors at law will :spank: for not knowing the law fully.
