Re: Casey Anthony
I think we understand that quite well. There are 2 courts...one the court of public opinion, and the other the court of law. We as Americans are free to think whatever we like....it's called intuition. We don't put people to death because of it, but that doesn't mean our intuition is wrong either.

Re: Casey Anthony
I won't argue that the poor get the short end of the stick in the judicial system. But, the media I was watching, most of them wanted Casey's head on a platter. Full-on Full Blooded Italian Crazy Cross-Eyed Jeanine Pirro was giving the Evil Eye in the direction of the defense through the coverage. Greta plays it pretty straight though.
OJ should've been on Death Row. His fame/income and race worked to his benefit. Also, the lazy/unprofessional/overconfident prosecutors did an abysmal job.

How does OJ Simpson wind up in this?
How is he not just as "innocent" as Casey Anthony?

Re: Casey Anthony
OJ's name is always brought up when controversial decisions are discussed. As far as scoreboard(criminal standards), OJ is no more of a murderer than Casey. Using common sense, they're both responsible for a death or deaths. One has more pre-meditation and lies in wait and the other is careless/reckless/selfish and her child dies because of it.

Re: Casey Anthony
Huh ?? It's perfectly acceptable in my mind to draw parallels in the 2 cases because of the media coverage, the sensational infatuation that the country had with the case, the total innocence of the victims, the brutality, the verdict, and so on. And in legal terms, neither OJ nor Ms. Anthony was found "innocent" . They were found not guilty by a preponderance of the evidence. Using the term "Innocent" to describe either defendent seems an entirely misplaced term....legally or otherwise.

Re: Casey Anthony
gotta disagree there my brother. What's good for the goose is good for a kept wife. He was gettin' his share of snatch, but couldn't deal with her gettin' hers. The only thing I would ever fault Nicole for was hypocracy. Her sister went on about how Nicole told her she only wanted a simple life and a guy to love her. Sorry, but it that's your goal...marry Gilbert Godfrey, not an international play boy.

Re: Casey Anthony
Not to insert race, but does anyone believe if this chick was a Black female from Detroit who lied every single step of the way about what happened to her child, does anyone even pretend she'd be judged not guilty???
Sometimes a jury has to use common sense.
No sane mother makes up multiple fictions to make an accident look like a murder and herself look like a killer.
Kids accidentally drown all the time, but who then buries that kid in a swamp and says afterwards my baby was kidnapped by the nanny???

Re: Casey Anthony
OMK I'm a bit surprised at you brother..lol You strike me as a person who has the ability to see beyond.. and is not always influenced by what is said or done directly.
The people on the jury was SEQUESTERED yes..but they still came in with their own beliefs, experiences, cultural biases.etc... shaped and influenced by what?.. the MEDIA among other things. NO ONE,,and I mean NO ONE wanted to have the guilt and blood of Casey on their hands,,especially living the next 20 years or so until she got executed. Also,,many white folks saw Casey as someone they knew like a rebellious daughter, niece, cousin, cutie-pie, physco ex..party girl,,whooohoo.etc. Yes,,That's the way the media portrayed her too because it was the "sexy" sell in addition and deflection from the gruesomeness. But even with that,,they still wouldn't kill the bitch. And lastly..the Nacy Graces of the world are paid to act and say things a certain way. They play up to the overwhelming popular public opinion. That's the drama of reality TV. They seduce you into believing everything by playing on what they told you to be thinking!

Re: Casey Anthony
While I get your point about race, and conceed to a point.....let me answer you this way...
The cops, DA and all of the press certainly believed the accusser in both the Duke rape case and DSK more recently . My point is injecting race sometimes cuts both ways. The rest of what you say is spot on.
