not guilty?????????????

I can't say that she's not guilty. But I would have to say "not proven". Nancy Grace would probably disagree.:)
 
A very sad day for Caylee. :( May she continue to rest in peace. :rose:
 
That's just insane. I'm so glad that TV cameras aren't allowed in our court rooms at the present time. Big trials become enough of a circus as it is without that.

In a recent case here of a murdered teenager, her sister described the day that her parents were questioned in court about the murder was a worse day than when they had found out she was dead, they were treated so badly by defence lawyers trying to cast seeds of doubt by discreditting the family...I know it's their job to cast doubt, but even the chief of police in the county where she was abducted and murdered has called for things to be changed
 
This is not going to be a popular opinion, but I think the jury was right.

Oh, I think she probably did it, but from what I read of the case the prosecution presented, they did NOT present a convincing case beyond a reasonable doubt. There was no forensic evidence except for the "smell" which the defense's expert witness did a good job taking apart.

Other than that, they proved she was dishonest and completely an unsympathetic character. But I don't think they proved their case, and the department's press conference afterwards admitted they did not have the best case in the world to try ... which makes me wonder why they didn't take the death penalty off the table.

I actually think the jury system still is the best one for keeping innocent people out of prison. And, yes, it does sometimes allow the guilty to go free.

Thank you. I was biting my tongue. Do I think she had a hand in it?.. Yep. Do I think they should have at least proven how the child died?..Yes! You're asking 12 people to remove emotion from the loss of a child and complete a pretty big puzzle. A few extra pieces would have been good. If they didn't have it, they should have gone for a lesser charge.

Well, she was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse as well. The government just didn't have that great a case to get a conviction in a criminal court. Had this been a civil case, she probably would have lost.

abuse of a corpse
 
i will add this
just because i think it was clear as could be that she did it,,,and IMHO was proven
you dont have to agree with me to post here,I welcome all ideas
I do like reading those that i very much disagree with
call me weird,,,But i have always enjoyed that,
It makes me stop and think,,,is my opinion wrong?
Normally i dont sway....but i still do like to read it anyway.
 
I heard this yesterday and just thought it was a point to ponder (no matter one's view....just an interesting thought)..... this was the quote...

"Had Casey chosen to abort Caylee, no one would have said anything.....she just chose it 2 years later."

(Again...not starting a different topic here....just an interesting way to look at it).
