http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/os-casey-anthony-verdict-20110704,0,1425780.storyCasey Anthony is not guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Marie.
Prosecutors did not prove Casey Anthony was guilty of capital murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie, a 12-member jury found this afternoon. Casey Anthony embraced defense attorney Jose Baez when the verdict was read, but the courtroom was silent. The prosecutors in the case, Jeff Ashton and Linda Drane Burdick, looked somber.
As soon as the jury left the courtroom, Casey hugged Baez, and then the rest of her defense team. All of them appeared to be crying. Defense team appeared giddy -- all were smiling, including Casey, while she was being fingerprinted. Here is my 2 cents. The prosecutors had a lousy case. I do not know if she killed her or not.From what the media has said It sure looked like she did. I know what the media said about her and know Casey is a self centered pyle. All she wanted is to party. The Chandra Levy case is a great example of how the media hounded that congressman ruined his life. The real killer is now in prison.

Casey Anthony is guilty of killing sweet little Caylee. I am greatly disapointed, but not surprised. I lived and worked in the Devil's Triangle of Orlando, Gainsville, St. Petersburg, (Pinellas County) for a number of years. The area is over run with perverts. I don't think a just jury could have been picked in that area.
Can't wait for the books to come out by the jurors. (sarcasm intended)

I never really understood the prosecution's case in the first place. I think she probably did it, but it's sheer supposition. I don't think it was proven. I never quite got how mother dearest went from "you're a drag on my partying lifestyle" to driving her decaying corpse around in the trunk.
but what the hell, let's riot anyway! burn orlando!

I was working on Florida State University Campus when the OJ verdict was announced. I was afraid the blacks were going to "burn baby burn" the campus down and kill all the whites in celebration.
As for Casey, she'll be under the media microscope now. If she so much as spits it'll be nationwide. If she does any illegal drugs or breaks any other law it'll be nationwide. I doubt she can walk a legal line in the future.
She could have a spiritual conversion and dedicate her life to making amends for her crime, but I don't see it happening.
I wonder what the truth really is. I wonder if we'll ever know.

I thought they were in trouble when the Mom said she did the search for Chloroform. Also the human body when rotting puts out chloroform. They never really had any evidence against her.

I doubt we ever will. Her actions from now on will be telling for me. The parents and brother too. |

I thought the prosecution's case was poor at best. I think she was guilty, and I think the prosecution did a mediocre job of bringing justice to an innocent child.
Who allows their child to go off with a nanny for 30 days? And where are the phone records of the mother calling to talk to her daughter each day?
This case stinks! I know a few worthless government attorneys that should be fired first thing in the morning.

The one who was snickering in court while the defense attorney was speaking should have been removed from the courtroom and a mistrial declared.
As for evidence, there was plenty of circumstantial evidence. People watch too much TV Court shows. People think there has to be DNA or video of the crime to convict. Before DNA and before everyone was walking around with video phones criminals were convicted on less evidence than was presented in this case. I think the 5 men and 7 women were pissed off at the Court, the Judge, and the Prosecuter and gave Casey a walk to get back at them.

And it would not necessarily be a bad thing if Orlando burned.

I think it would considering part of the program I work on is based out of Orlando and I know a lot of those people. Innocent people shouldn't be punished for the actions of one individual. Obviously the prosecutor failed to present a case beyond a reasonable doubt. |

I believe the jury was comprised of folks from Tampa, brought in special for this trial to give her an unbiased opportunity for her defense. I guess that strategy worked.
No matter how much of an *sshole the judge and prosecution are, and believe me, it is difficult for any judge not to be a major screaming *sshole, the jury knows their responsibility, and in a capital case, I suspect they did not think she was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
For that to be the case, the prosecution failed miserably.

If Jennifer Ford is typical of the other 11 jurrors I can understand how they came up with innocent, "I didn't say she's not guilty" How can anyone not say she's not guilty and say she's innocent. What rock did they find these people living under?
