I was talking a with a friend of mine this morning about Casey Anthony trial. He told me that the only reason the juries found Casey not guilty on bigger charges(murder, child neglect, etc..)is because they know there's gonna be a big payday later. He said, Quote " Give it a couple months them (jurors) will come out one by one with a book to tell their story" and on all over tv stations telling how they vote on the case. He told me the mainstream media is so flaw they make criminals turn to celebrities, so everybody is looking for a 15 mins of fame to shine. What say you?
My thought is Where is Horatio Caine when you need him? Kidding aside, the whole case was fucked up, since the start.. Investigation Officers and prosecution did a very lousy job. If there is anyone to blame its prosecution. I have no doubt the Caylee Anthony was murdered, and the Mother Casey Anthony had a hand in it. But you can not base a case purely on emotions without any fingerprint, DNA or even solid circumstantial evidences and a believable motive. Prosecution's argument was - "See how pathetic of a liar Casey is, thus she is the killer, thank you very much". It has nothing to do with Juror's seeing a big payday. its about lazy investigation and lousy arguments.
Not to dispute the above but another alternative is Caylee lost her life through negligence of some sort by Casey - exp. left unattended while Casey was partying. The case makes a little more sense with the negligence / coverup scenario than pre-meditated murder and why the prosecutors were unable to prove their theory. No, there was no motive to "make a deal" by the jurors.
I haven't been watching this case closely. However, I did read something in the news today that was surprising. There was circumstantial evidence in this case, part of it was records of Internet searches - And, the evidence repeatedly presented was that she searched "chloroform" 84 times. The prosecutors had been alerted that was a mistake, that indeed it had only been searched 1 time. Yet, they withheld that information from the jury. Source of where I read that: MSNBC
No, they did not withhold that information, it was presented in court. And from what I can recall, Cindy Anthony said in her testimonial that it was her, not Casey, who searched for chloroform on the computer. That prompted prosecution to drop it from arguments. Yes, its possible and afaik, it can be a basis for child abuse charges. Only if the investigation was up to the mark and had some evidences supporting this theory, the punishment would have been much harsher. -1 to botched up investigation, that's all I can say..
As I said, I didn't follow the case closely. But, that's weird. I wonder why they wrote an entire article about it, kind of making it seem like a big deal. If Cindy Anthony was the one searching for "chloroform" and it was dropped as evidence, then of course, that would make perfect sense as to why the prosecutors didn't correct the amount of times it was searched with the jury.
It's true, since the trial, the paparazzi has been following her around commenting on what she's wearing, where's she's eating as if she were Lady Gaga. Its really messed up.
