Casey Anthony was found completely NOT GUILTY of murder in the case of her Daughter's death.

I followed this case closely and watched most of it on TV. It was totally obvious that she was guilty as sin it is ridiculous.

I could understand if she didn't get the death penalty, but to be completely exonerated of guilt?

She was only found guilty of lying to the police which holds a maximum sentence of 4 years and she's already served 3.

But how do this jury explain how a baby girl gets found in a swamp wrapped in a garbage bag with duct tape covering her mouth while the mother lies to the cops about her even being missing and NO ONE is responsible for her death? Do they think the child did that to herself?
 
The problem is the State did not explain how a girl gets into the swamp - with evidence. Had I been sitting on the jury and knowing what the jury saw and heard - and what they didn't see and hear - I would have been hard pressed to find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The state simply could not tie Casey to her daughter's death. I believe she did it and like, OJ, she got away with it. There is no murder weapon and the body was too far gone to determine the cause of death.
 
Not guilty except for lying to police. Evil (Satan) is surely in control these days. God bless that poor little baby girl who will not have justice here on earth. There is a little girl in heaven and her mom will some day be in hell.
 
Poor prosecution, just like OJ, they were just too full of themselves. They thought there was no way they could lose so didn't put forth the effort to win. Did you see the prosecutor laughing at the defense as if he was so much better than they were?

I (being on the other side of the world) have no knowledge of this case but from reading this thread I'd say the mother will have to watch her back for the rest of the life.
 
I ---sort of followed it--- Shannon followed it VERY close and I got all the "highlights".

It is certainly confusing how they could let her off this easy. And I am certain that girl and or both parents KNOW what happened. But the burden of proof is on the prosecution and they couldn't PROVE ....without ANY doubt the main things that win a case
evidence for 1 thing
timeline
motive
and evidence. We all know she (or they) where involved but you have to have proof. Forensic proof. Undeniable proof. A "smoking gun" if you will.
Karma will do the job the court couldn't, in time. (remember O.J.???? Took years but.............)
I do not agree with the verdict at all, however I am glad we have the system we have. In other countries she would have been drug to the street and stoned, guilty or not, and other women (and men) in those countries have met that fate for far far less.

Sadly the worst thing of all is the focus has been HER and all the hype and lawyers and not the fact an innocent child has lost her life.
It is truly a sad situation.

I'm sorry but, she would have been found guilty of at least manslaughter in Pennsylvania.

People have been found guilty of murder many times without all the things you mention.

The PROBLEM is that too many people think it's supposed to be like CSI television shows where they always have DNA or something definitive. ALL the circumstantial evidence adds up to her doing it and before these stupid crime shows, common sense would prevail.

On the US news report I heard this morning, that was the exact reason given: There was no DNA evidence from the mom on the garbage bags or the duct tape - no DNA to 'link' her to the tools of the murder! So she got off! I think this is a travesty to say the least - somewhat like our justice system.

ANYONE who harms a child in anyway whatsoever, should be hung, drawn and quartered! Bless this little girl.................
 
She literally got away with murder. A jury is charged with "beyond a reasonable doubt". Was there resonable doubt?

1. No murder weapon

2. No cause of death

3. No demonstrated motive.

4. No direct evidence to link her to the crime.

5. No time line.

There was plenty of circumstantial evidence and one can be convicted on circumstantial evidence. However, with no evidence to link her to the crime, I could not have rendered a guilty verdict even though, in my heart, I believe she is guilty. If only there had been some forensic evidence on the garbage bag, duct tape or that beautiful little girl's body from Casey to directly link her to the crime. She will pay, though; I am confident of that.

That whole family is dysfunctional and, except for her brother, are pathological liars.
 
The murder weapon was duct tape and chloroform.....she had 84 searches on her computer for "chloroform" and the duct tape matched the duct tape found at the house where she lived.

She also claimed the Nanny that kidnapped the child's name was "Zanny the Nanny" which is young people's term for Zanex which she used to sedate the child when she wanted to go out partying.

She was the last person to have contact with her Daughter before she turned up missing.

Who's child goes missing and they don't contact the police for 31 days? And then, only contact the police because your Mother smells a dead body in the trunk of your car!

Who goes out partying every night that your child is missing and gets a tattoo "Beautiful Life" while your child has been abducted?

The motive is that her Daughter infringed upon her night life (her new boyfriend wouldn't allow her Daughter to sleep over his apartment).

They spelled-out a timeline during the prosecution's evidence part.

The cause of death is pretty evident....at NO TIME should a 2 year old have duct tape over their mouth and nose! Can anyone think of any possible innocent scenario where a child should have duct tape on their face?

There was a stick-on little heart on the duct tape which was from a page of them with one missing found at her home.

There was no DNA because the body sat in standing water in the swamp where she was found months later.
 
If it rains during the night while everyone is asleep and doesn't see or hear it, there's only circumstantial evidence that it actually did rain...like the streets are all wet. But does that mean it didn't rain?

I mean...CONNECT THE DOTS for goodness sake!

We don't have a jury system in SA - the judge hears both sides, goes away for while, goes through all aspects of the case, comes back and renders a judgement of guilty/not guilty. If guilty, then a sentancing hearing is held and ruled on, by the same judge. Maybe this method of 'judgement' would have rendered a different outcome. Sometimes I find the US jury system too open for 1 juror to be difficult because they really don't want to do jury duty, and that 1 person can hang the entire jury rendering the case a mis-trial. Sometimes I think a jury system is just too iffy.

AJ, I believe she is guilty. However, apparently in jurors' minds there was reasonable doubt as to how Kaylee died and who was involved. The State was unable to prove that Casey did it beyond a reasonable doubt. The bottom line is that the defense did a much better job in jury selection than the State did.
