Casey Anthony

[onmyknees]

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!

While I don't discount what you say entirely.....I think the injecting of race in this case is a red herring. If the jury didn't want to have Casey's blood on thier hands, they certainly could have opted for the manslaughter charge and resolved that issue. You seem to think it's about the jurors bias....but how can you be sure the only bias they had was to get thier summer back and see thier families??... after 6 weeks of being locked away no TV, shitty hotel food, and no porn tell me when you came to a fork in the road, you wouldn't choose that path. Find her not guilty, not have to worry about your conscience, and get the fuck outta dodge !!!!!

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???

Who do you think decides guilty or not guilty?
It's 12 jury members, not some powerful white man. I'm really sorry that people think as ignorantly as you and tsdvdman.

I can guarantee you there was a black person on the jury. And all it takes is one person to say she is guilty.

If it was some poor girl from Detroit that did this? Well, it wouldn't have happened that way because they wouldn't have a father to pin it all on. She would've said "my dad killed her"...really? Where is your daddy now? Oh, I never met him...

Sorry, but I think you get the drift. No comparison of the two.

But for shits and giggles.. lets say that the poor black girl in Detroit had a similar life with mother and father at home. If the case went the exact same way for black girl from Detroit, yes the verdict would be the same.

When was the last time Casey had the child?

[Dino Velvet]

gotta disagree there my brother.

You're a much better human being than I am but everybody has their own personal limit before going full retard.

Now Robert Blake did an act of Community Service.

Here we go with the Detroit shit yet again haven't you heard there's still a 9.8 Honky population here.
and besides the Court would go broke before they could convict the girl anyway thanks to Kwame embezzlin' all the money.

When was the last time Casey said she saw her child alive?

[AmericanDream]

The Orlando, Fla., woman first became a national obsession in July 2008, when she claimed that her 2 ½-year-old daughter, Caylee, had been kidnapped a month earlier - but she didn't report it. While her daughter was supposedly missing, Casey partied - and told her family and friends that Caylee was with a nanny. That October, Casey was charged with murder. Two months later, Caylee's skeletal remains were found not far from the family home.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/...20076969.shtml

It started 3 years ago. She claimed that her daughter was kidnapped from her 30 days before the child was finally reported missing. She led people to believe Caylee was still alive and that her main focus was to find Caylee to bring her home. As it says in that paragraph, the body was found I think in December.

So, 30 days before the kid was first reported missing is when Casey claimed to have last seen her daughter alive last.

The jury did the right thing. There wasn't the evidence to prove in court beyond a reasonable doubt, and that's all that matters to a juror.

AmericanDream, the Detroit comparison isn't valid because the hypothetical Black defendant wouldn't have a daddy to blame the murder on?? Sarcasm doesn't prove your point, dude.
No way a Black/hispanic girl, or the majority of White females before a normal jury would have walked under similar circumstances.

Even Casey Anthony's aunt(!!) said that jury was either dumb or lazy.
Sorry, but perceptions still matter in court, even pigment/social class.

Who remembers the hispanic ex-con who the Shondra Levy murder was pinned on??

NO physical evidence, no proof he was even in the park where Levy was killed, nothing. He was convicted strictly on the 'testimony' of another prison inmate who claims this ex-con told him he attacked Levy.

If you don't think race or ethnicity plays a factor in jury decisions, you are willfully blind my friend.


What's most shocking IMO is that a admitted pathological liar was given the benefit of the doubt in a court of law, even allowing her at the last minute to concoct a fictional drowning scenario as an explanation for Caylee's death, then blame her ex-cop Daddy for burying his granddaughter in a swamp wrapped in a plastic bag, duct tape around her mouth with a heart-shaped sticker tacked on.



The defense tried to argue the duct tape was placed on the skull of Caylee AFTER her remains were found, so who put that heart sticker on??


This bitch just lied her way out of murdering her kid.

Only in America.

Maybe that's true for the 1st degree murder charge, but the jury didn't even find Casey guilty on the lesser charges, the aggravated manslaughter and child abuse charges.
