The Murder Trial of Casey Anthony

I've followed it by hearing news about it on the radio but don't make a special effort to update myself. I think Casey Anthony is nuts and she killed her daughter. They are trying to say she drowned but then why was there duct tape across her poor little mouth? I think the parents made that up to try to save their daughter's life. I had heard that one station covers the trial with and without the jury being in the room. When the jury is there, she is sober and unsmiling. When they aren't, she is joking around and laughing. That tells me she has no feeling for her daughter or her family. I hope she gets life in prison with no parole. Caylee deserves justice.

I do not believe she was innocent and think the jury made a huge mistake. I believe she got away with murder and don't even get me started on the whole "She drowned in the pool" crap. If it was an accidental drowning, they would have called the police and said "She was able to climb in the pool and drowned". You don't go off for a month before you report your BABY missing. It just makes me SICK.

I am going to be the first here to diverge from the popular opinion. But first, I feel I must say something. I see a lot of people out there assigning guilt based simply on the horrible nature of the crime. People are judging based on their emotional response to the incident rather than the evidence. I also want to say that right now, she is not guilty of anything. She has not yet been convicted of a crime. Ok, now that that's out of the way. If I were sitting on that jury, I could not render a guilty verdict based on the evidence the prosecution has presented. It raises some suspicion, but, and this is very important, it is not anywhere near the level of what I consider beyond a reasonable doubt. A jury, by law cannot render a guilty verdict based on suspicion. It must be beyond any reasonable doubt. And this is ever more important when we are talking about a capitol murder case. I still have a lot of doubts. A brief (but not complete) list of issues i have is: How did she kill her? Why was there not the evidence of chloroform in the body when the autopsy was done? Why no rags with chloroform found? Why no bottles of chloroform found anywhere? Why no examination for the presence of diatoms in the bone marrow to confirm or disprove drowning?. Why is there such a huge discrepancy in the two separate forensic software analysis of her computer? This last one is very important to me because one of them shows a Myspace post by her boyfriend with a picture of girls at a bar with the caption "win them over with chloroform"...with the very next entry being a search for chloroform. The next entries are entries on self defense and weapons. It is quite reasonable to me to think that once she found out what her boyfriend meant by his post, to be suddenly concerned for her own safety. I know it would creep me right out. I listened very intently (still listening to the rebuttal)to the closing arguments. I do not feel the prosecution made their case beyond reasonable doubt either. The most compelling was the defense's closing arguments. No, I could not convict her based on the case presented. Is Casey Anthony a liar? Yep, we know that for certain, but so is the rest of her family (with the exception of her brother). Am I suspicious? Yes, I am. But as I said earlier, suspicion is not anywhere near enough to convict a person. It must be beyond reasonable doubt. I would likely be the guy on the jury that the rest of the jury hated.

I think they should do to her just what she did to that baby. I think if this was done more often some of these heinous crimes would stop.

I heard she is working as a baby sitter now. Some child's parent decided to trust her.
