Casey Anthony - Page 2

Agreed, it is state scripted news filler to serve as a huge soap opera for news junkies, designed to distract and take folks away from the serious problems of state such as 48 states bankrupt and the US dollar losing world currency status and dropping in value.

Let's keep this thread on topic.  

Everyone is angry with the jury, but the jury did their job.  If you have ever been on jury duty, then you know it is a huge responsibility, especially in a case like this one.  It is the job of the prosecution to prove without reasonable doubt that the person on trial is guilty.  The judge is also responsible for explaining the extent of the crime and punishment according to state laws.  Given the evidence, the jury could not find Casey guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  I'm sure members of the jury felt she was guilty, but solid proof was not presented.  Having been a juror myself on more than one occasion, and in a couple of serious cases, it is not always easy to come up with a verdict.  It is a humbling experience knowing that you will help decide someone's future.

"Who cares, it's all bullshit........a complete waste of time!"

This is why innocent people are put to death every year in this country. He must be guilty the state says it is true. 

SM, what about the constitution? What about the state having the burden of proof. 

The prosecution did not prove their case. Simple as that.

It is our system and plenty of innocents are convicted everyday in this country. This is not rich OJ, this is the system at work. Good or bad it is our system. I never hear you complaining about wrongly convicted people. How many innocents has TEXAS EXCUTED in the last 20 years? 

No sane person would have convicted her, look at the jury at least 14 of them said the prosecution did not prove there case. I suppose you know more than they do? 

Did you even watch one second of the trial or is this opinion taken off of one of your sites you love to copy off of?

"No sane person would have convicted her, look at the jury at least 14 of them said the prosecution did not prove there case. I suppose you know more than they do"? 

SP can you provide a link to where it says "14 jurors said they didn't prove the case? I haven't heard that. I heard ONE juror say that, and they were an alternate.

Really, well 12 plus 2 equals 14. Even if it is only 13 that is pretty overwhelming. The 12 that counted spoke up and did their civic duty.

I would venture to guess that it wasn't a hung jury so all 12 were in agreement. 

Face it, the state did not prove their case and the jury was smart to see it. Unlike some states/people who would have given her the death penalty.

IMO, the jury did their job. I am surprised a lot more of the constitution freaks aren't applauding this decision. Oh yeah, they only use the constitution when it is convenient for them. 

SP

Here is a direct quote from you: "14 of them said the prosecution did not prove there case".


To my knowledge only one juror (an alternate) has spoken publicly. He did say HE thought the state didn't prove their case.


CAN you provide a link to the other jurors saying this? 

That jury wasnt even in there long enough to do sh__ !!
A baby is dead and the mother was the last one with it.
I dont care if there wasnt enough evidence at least take time and go thru every piece of it. They didnt even want to see anything before they made the verdict. They even left their notes in court.

SP,

You said, "I would venture to guess that it wasn't a hung jury so all 12 were in agreement". 

Of course it wasn't a hung jury or they could prosecute her all over again in a NEW trial.
