Casey Anthony Trial

[Brazosgrad]

I read over the case for that crazy [female dog]. She is guilty of something but there is little too no evidence supporting any claim of any wrongdoing.

Correct. The 'only' witness that would talk, is dead. As far as the reasonable doubt thinking of the Jury, one juror was interviewed, and pointedly said "We never said that we thought she was 'innocent', but there just wasn't enough factual evidence to convict her on any of the counts involving murder or child endangement, ..." And I agree with Toad, that the prosecution over-reached going for Capital Punishment based on the circumstantial evidence they presented or had. Short of a witness or irrefutable evidence, that's a tough one to crack.

I guess on Fox news, the jury foreman thought the father seemed more guilty than the mother for the childs death based on his testimony. Hmmmm.....

Intriguing point. Perhaps she truly wasn't the guilty party and was covering up?

I'm pretty straight on reasonable doubt and this particular case in my opinion required the prosecution to play up the "reasonable" part of that ( which is out of the norm). I'm mean holy crap, the defense started out with "she's a liar" and then threw out unproven bombshells all over the place. I'm afraid the jury felt that any doubt = reasonable doubt. I would probably be a little more comfortable with the not guilty if they had deliberated a little longer.

Also, I do agree that the prosecution could've been a little more creative with the charges, but I'm not familiar with Florida law to really know that for sure.
I learned Texas and NC laws in school, never had a reason to look at Florida.

I actually typed a bunch more stuff, but I just don't care. The jury was in a hurry and the prosecution assumed they had it slam dunked and forgot how stupid the general population really is.
