Palm Harbor resident Dean Eckstadt speaks about his experience as an alternate juror during the Casey Anthony trial.
A Palm Harbor resident who served as an alternate juror in the Casey Anthony trial has spoken out about the case, saying he has given his one interview about the high-profile trial.
Dean Eckstadt, 25, was one of five alternate jurors who witnessed the testimony during the 33-day trial but did not participate in deliberations.
Eckstadt appeared on NBC's Today show on Thursday morning.
Asked whether he thinks Anthony is innocent, Eckstadt responded, "That's a hard question. She was a liar; she didn't tell the truth most of the time, (but) to actually kill her daughter, I don't think so. I believe that she may have had knowledge of the situation, but to actually kill her child, I don't believe it happened."
As for why Anthony did not report her daughter missing for 31 days, Eckstadt said he thought her home life played a big part in why she did not face the reality of the situation.
Eckstadt also said he does not think his fellow jurors from Pinellas County fear for their safety because of the verdict they reached.
He says that the jurors he has talked to are worried about something else entirely. "We are upset that people think we're incompetent," he said on the Today show. "We made the decision on the law. You can't have emotion in the situation, and I think that came down to the final decision."
Another Pinellas County juror also spoke with the media. Juror No. 3 is Jennifer Ford, a 32-year-old nursing student at St. Petersburg College.
Ford told ABC News that the prosecution's case had too many holes for the jury to convict Anthony of first-degree murder.
Juror No. 2 spoke to the St. Petersburg Times anonymously saying he wanted to keep his family safe from any possible scrutiny. The juror is a 46 year-old married father of two and is one of two blacks on the jury.
He said the verdict was not an easy decision to make and he wished the jury had more evidence to put Casey Anthony away, but the evidence wasn't there.
Alternate juror Russell Huekler of St. Petersburg was the first to speak. He told ABC News that he thought a horrific accident happened to Caylee Anthony and her "dysfunctional" family covered it up.
Orange County Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. has refused to release the names of the Pinellas County jurors, which are usually public record. Media outlets are contesting the move.
On Thursday morning, Perry sentenced Anthony to four years in jail and a fine of $4,000. On Tuesday, the jury convicted her of four counts of lying to law enforcement.
Anthony's attorney has told ABC News that she will be released from jail next week. She has already served almost three years in jail and will be given credit for that time served.

Wade you are so right incompetent is putting it mildly , if nothing else the jury should have discussed it for more than 10 hours they call that deliberating RIGHT I call it something else, lazy . Also leaving a baby for 31 days and not calling police they do n't see that as child abuse man so sad for all of them hope they can sleep at night i would not be able as for Casey I hope she gets civil suits left and right but Karma will take care of this sociopath

I can probably understand the verdict on first degree, however, not finding her guilty of manslaughter or at least felony child abuse is absolutely insane! I watched every minute of the case, and I didn't have reasonable doubt about those two issues! Died in the swimming pool? Really? Then why didn't they call 911? Why not have the child buried with a funeral service, instead of throwing her out in trash bags into a ditch? The jury has just proved that if you lie enough you can get away with anything, even the death of someone. I hope the juror's have trouble sleeping at night after setting this child abuser free!

the jurors wanted to go home period...they didnt give a shit about the facts. bottom line is that girl took that kid from her home and killed her just as the "facts" proved she then did her own thing within minuets of that child dieing you morons.you should all be prosecuted how about the country versus those jurors!!!! there was no living in lala land you fools she knew exactly what she wanted to do and did it. By the way Did all those jurors drink the casey koolaide before entering the court?

Common sense was missing from these jurors deliberations and considering they did not take in their notes or request to view any evidence and apparently neglected to even read the legal notes handed them by Judge Perry I think we can safely call them ignorant.
When a child goes missing and the last person proven to be with that child is seen getting vids with her bf just a few hours later, then lies and pretends nothing is wrong with her child for 31 days; that goes to consciousness of guilt. The NEED to hide her child's fate. Then for that same person to lie about a kidnapping to try and get the focus off herself and her conduct which involved partying nonstop since her child went missing is another sign of consciousness of guilt. But when that person then makes up a 3rd lie because the first one falls apart and at the same time tries to implicate innocent people to further deflect from what she did then you can assume you are likely looking at a very guilty person. The icing on the cake comes when that child is found triple bagged, thrown in a swamp with ducttape covering the child's mouth and nose. This is a firm reason to agree with the ME in ruling this is a homicide. cont..

Where is the justice for Caylee? They didn't even take the full 10 hours, because I'm sure there was breaks!!! The jurors didn't care, because they wasn't even from the area where that beautiful little girl was born/raised. I hope the juor who went on the cruise enjoyed themselve knowing they let a murder go!!! How can they look at their own children every day? They got to enjoy their fourth of July, but Caylee didn't!!!!! The evidence was overwhelming, but they was too lazy to review it and find her guilty so Caylee could have justice. Caylee didn't have a fair trial, who defended her against the death penality???? Did Biaz defend Caylee????? Now Casey can do it all over again and know that she will get away with it!!!! Thanks jurors for being so incompetent!!!

Yeah MISTY, all "good moms" throw their children away like garbage after an accidental death, then party and tell lie after lie while their babies rot in swamps and THEN when it is forced out their children aren't around try to frame other people (i.e. Zenaida Gonzales, Jesse Grund) for murder of their children! "Good Moms" don't do that!! PRAYING you are not as good of a mother as Casey Anthony!

Lisa and Misty--- did you watch the trial at all??? Cindy called Casey repeatedly trying to see Caylee, went to Universal Studios a day Casey had said they would be there (only to get there, call Casey to say she was there to see Caylee and have Casey tell her they were out of town!) AND made a myspace page JUST to reach out to Casey. Yeah, pretty suspicious. And BTW 22 years old is not a child...At age 22 you have been an adult for 4 years! She didn't live in a fantasy world. She was a LIAR who made things up to suit her needs. Living in a fantasy world would mean she actually believed those people were real. Bottom line--- she was, admittedly, the last one with Caylee alive and the next time anyone saw Caylee it was picking her gnawed on bones from the woods. GET A CLUE!!!! Now, back away from the computer--- the more you type, the more ignorant you sound!!

Robin Galey

I believe the jurors had "selected" hearing. I believe they bought Jose's story from the beginning and did not listen to the prosecution. If they were listening they would have heard that Cindy refused to babysit after a while wanting Casey to be responsible. The alternate # 14 said "Casey had her parents to babysit." Not true after a while. They didn't take a lot of notes. They focused in on the defense's story and just did not want to face the fact that Casey is guilty as sin. I would have voted 1st degree murder, with life. There is no mother yet who would not report their child missing for 31 days, show no emotion.. in fact go out and party as if nothing had happened. There was evidence of several people smelling decomposition in the car and the jury just ignored this evidence. I wished the judge would have let the homeless people sit in as jurors. They would have probably taken their jobs more seriously than these 12 idiots. To not convict her of something even child abuse is a "slap in the face."

Yes Mr. Eckstadt, you got that right. The worst jury ever! You are all 12 incompetent and stupid jurors, especially those who have children and grandchildren. This stupid mother who did not report her child missing to anyone for 31 days, partying as if nothing ever happened, oh man! how do u call that? a good mother, this is ridiculous! What about child neglect, if you look carefully at the bottom of Caylee eyes, most of her pictures you will see dark shadow under her eyes, this woman has been "drugging" this child for so long, "overdosing" her so she could go out and leaving her in her car in deep sleep, after the argument with her mother, and having a good time with Tony and company. Unfortunately, this time Caylee didn't wake up. She disposed of her body in the woods. If this is not child abuse, so what it is? She tried to give Caylee the same burial as the family pets and that did not work, she didn't have enough time after she borrowed the shovel from the neighbor. Her father spotted her, she took her car and ran away. Every key detail was said by the prosecutors. This jury has no common sense, the worst ever. The blood of this innoncent girl will follow them as long as they live, as well as Casey Anthony because they let her get away with calculated and premediated murder.

agree wade. even if the jury used their common sense she would have been found guilty. many of us come from a crazy family but we don't kill. that's no excuse to find her innocent. i think she was jealous of attention parents gave child she wanted to party have independence had fight with mom took away from mom from mom loved caylee, she could party on i don't understand jury deliberating so quickly on such a case having so many links to the crime. i just don't get it jury.

Sad..you deliberate 10 hrs come up with a decision that for all practical purposes set person responsible for the death of her child free and expect KUDOS for your brilliant "lack of deduction" . Not one juror was capable of being assertive and just saying no...in some manner she was responsible, maybe not of murder and the death penalty but of whatever happened to cause the death of the child. Sooo just like OJ's jury NO RESPECT earned PERIOD!! Namaste

OK, Leave the jurors alone, thier names should not be made public only if they want to tell people, it should be up to them. They did the best they could.

I think most people would have liked Casey to be convicted of a lesser charge like manslaughter of a child or felony child abuse. Child abuse is a no brainer but to just let her walk was such and injustice for Caylee. The jurors were instructed on all possible verdicts and they must have been blinded by dollar signs from possible book deals and media appearances.
Diane
8:19 pm on Monday, July 11, 2011
Not to worry, Lynne, some of these jurors are making their own names public, even as I type this, because they are trying to make money off of their incompetence. I just hope these jurors enjoy spending their blood money.

I feel nothing for those jurors they took an oath and did the wrong thing, I have served on many trials and she got away with murder lets say the prosecution did not prove their case but for the fact she did'nt report her daughter missing is unbelievable, and if it was an accident why would someone stay in jail for years and not say it was an accident early to get out I dont buy the juries excuse their a bunch of idiots.

Oh you are so pathetic. An attractive young girl & attractive attorney. She's in jail & he's holding up signs asking her to marry. Yes I'm sure that's what going on, have to be married to be intimate. Can't just be a client. For the record, she was working as his assistant while she was sitting there. That's what all the writing & filing was about. It saved the cost of another person & seeing that Baez hasn't received any $$$ from the state on the case yet. It made sense. The last payment he received on the case was from Casey years ago when she hired him before the body was found.

You say that the jurors didnt want to believe the prosecutions "conjectures or ideas" casey is probably thanking god right now that she didn't have to prove herself innocent she just had to lie enough to make it seem possible someone else did it

Righteous Joseph! I see you are in the legal field. I also saw you were making fun of housewives and waitresses. That got me to thinking. Hmmmmm, you said you work in the legal field but you did not say you were an attorney. You cannt possibly be an attorney because from observing your pompous attitude I do not think you would hestitate to mention if you were an attorney that would make you either a legal sectretary, law clerk or paralegal. All great jobs if you choose but are no higher on the pecking order than a waitress or a housewife. If you actually happen to be an attorney then you must not be a very good one if you have tons of time to devote to commenting on articles. Good lawyers have virtually no freetime.

My opinion is that she killed her daughter, but, I also believe that if she knew what happened (as the defense stated), accident or whatever, she should be just as guilty. She was found competent, and no competent person would just carry on with their life as if nothing happened if they knew of the death of their child - you lie and act that way if: 1) you are truly "crazy" or 2) If you are guilty.
Terri
3:54 pm on Thursday, July 7, 2011
I never usually post comments but the people who emotionally rage about an innocent person need to look at themselves......we are quick to judge others, however, the average person lies 8 times a day starting with "how are you" in the morning and responding, "I'm fine".....when there tired, sick or whatever. The constitution of the United States of America was upheld and the Prosecution who spent thousands of tax payer dollars to probe the unthinkable to try and prove something impossible to prove, should realize the jury decided absolutely correctly to not guilty. I agree with Jose Baez about the death penalty and why, any American or human being would want another person put to death for a crime completely un-proveable, tells me you people have no regard for human life and are more guilty to even think and wish this on someone than the person being accused of the crime...... The FACTS AND EVIDENCE clearly show Casey as NOT GUILTY. You mean spirited people who live in a fantasy of revenge towards another human being because the media created a "frenzied soap opera" with the coverage.......Casey Anthony did nothing but defend herself like any other American person would do. Like any Prosecutor or State's attorney, they had no one else to blame. You all need to move on with your life and accept the reason we have juries and a constitution is to determine facts and a verdict. .

Many cases are circumstantial. You just have to have sense enough to put the pieces together. Most of America doesn't see where they found reasonable doubt? REASONABLE being the key word. Casey claimed that her dad found her dead in the pool, covered her mouth with duct tape, wrapped her in garbage bags, drove around the corner and threw her in the ditch? Then Roy moved the body? That's reasonable to you? I understand the prosecution had the burden of proof. I think they proved their case. A baby's skull with duct tape on it in a ditch (or swamp) spells murder to me. Casey was the last person known with Caylee. End of story

Casey was responsible for her daughter. she killed her. the evidence was there.
yes, the jury should be ashamed for letting her go free; there were lesser charges they could have agreed on.
it seems they (the jury) was more interested in getting home. NO ONE should profit from this little girl's murder. NO ONE. not the spiteful bitch of a mother and certainly not the incompetent jurors.

If you believe that there was not enough evidence, you are blind. The mistake was made when they tried to hone in on the way she died and could not prove it. No matter what the jury could have convicted her on lesser charges. I am a soldier and believer in the constitution but also believe in justice for victims and common sense. I believe they got lost on the true definition of REASONABLE doubt. The defense portrayed it as if you think anything wired she's free. That's not reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt paints another person did it. She admitted her daughter was dead she should be responsible for her life.

Hey Joseph!
What is a true American in your eyes? As far as Casey is concerned , where is the question from her where is my daughter? Never once did I hear that coming from her mouth. Where are the tears other than for herself. How can someone carry on in that manner when you baby is missing. What are the reasons for her lies, what is the reason for her and her mother blaming an ex- fiancee which was unfounded. How can people with reasonable intelligence think that her father a retired policeman would take an accident in the pool and turn it in to a homicide.Who would do something like that and why? It makes no sense. If that is the case then why is he not brought up on charges of a cover up and disposing of the body? Why is the mother lying on the stand as to she being the one to access chloroform on the computer? To me there are more holes in the defense rather than the prosecution. This girl is a sociopath. Once she got rid of her daughter, the one person that put restrictions on her free lifestyle, she felt relieved. She put her totally out of her mind and carried on with her " beautiful life".

I mean it paints the picture that another story could have happened, there was absolutely no evidence to support an alternate story. Therefore no reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony knew her daughter was dead, said nothing, dumped her body, lied some more, and now she's free. Reasonable doubt if what.! There is no other story. She even denied she drowned in the prison phone tape,, to her parents!! To George and Cindy . How can there be no evidence, how can there be reasonable doubt to who was responsible.

I was most disappointed that the jurors didn't take ample time to thoughtfully review the evidence for any more than the measly 9 hours they deliberated. Did any meaningful debate take place in the jury room?? Were any of the following evidentiary items even considered?:
• Caley missing for 31 days
• Casey does not report her child "missing"
• Casey parties like there is no tomorrow while child is "missing"
• Casey gets "Bella Vita" or beautiful life tattoo 2 days after child goes "missing"
• Casey's car goes missing and turns up smelling like a dead body
• Casey lies to her parents, friends and police about Caley' s disappearance
• Casey's attorney accuses the family of everything except Casey's murder/disposal
If you dispute all of the above evidence and dismiss it out of hand, how do you then in good conscience accept at face value everything the defense alleges about the drowning of Caley, the molestation of Casey by her father and brother, and the general dysfunction of the Anthony family?
That is precisely why the general population is questioning your judgment.

A lot of armchair psychologists in this mess....George and Cindy had a dysfunctional home and relationship...accounting for Casey's strange behaviors. George wasn't believable...etc. I am joining the armchair psychologists. What do you think of the notion that this family became dysfunctional because of Casey? This kid had something missing and it was probably missing from birth. By the time she hit her teenage years, Cindy and George had their work cut out for them. Denial came first, then cover it up, fix mess after mess, pick away at each other, go on a slow burn regarding your daughter....what I can't figure is how they didn't choke her long ago. They had the daughter from hell and they knew it, at least most of the time and George was the one who was in the least denial, most of the time. He molested her and also had an affair with a woman of a certain age....sorry, the two don't go together in my mind. Guys who are turned on by children are not likely to find middle-aged woman very attractive. Of the two possibilities, the affair seems more likely and of course, he would lie....his wife is in the courtroom and affairs are things everyone lies about. George was the fall guy. Don't exactly know how I went off on that tangent, but this has been bothering me, a lot. Maybe it's time for professional jurists.....I am tired of incompetence, along with the majority of Americans.

Sounds to me the 'parents' are hiding something. Not Casey. She's an immature 22 yr old that lives in a make believe world. Scared of something, who knows. Ask the 'parents'. Would you go up against an ex- law inforcer who abused you growing up. And obviously, gotten away with it. Maybe, Casey's uncontrolled behavor was because her child was missing and she had no idea how to fix it or deal with it. How do we know her parents weren't behind her behavor. I'm a grandmother of three and I would go nuts if I haven't seen my grandbabies every 2 to 3 days. I sure in the 'blank' couldn't go a month. What good grandparent could?

If my dog was missing for 31 minutes, I would freak out. I dont know if you have children but if my daughter was missing for 31 seconds i would freak out also. So this isn't about the constitution, and its not about you either. Its about real like pal. Hope you have a long healthy life and that you never experience a missing relative.

I think that every juror on that panel were total IDIOTS! If they want to say there wasn't enough proof for Pre-Meditated murder or child abuse, manslaugter etc... then they deserve the same treatment that the whole world will give Casey because they didnt think enough about this poor little innocent child to give her justice they are mistakenly wrong! I hope this haunts them all for the rest of their lives. IF duct on a child's mouth isn't enough proof and not reporting her child missing for 31 days=Abuse and Partying it up while her daughter is rotting away then there is truely something wrong with these people! Seems to me they were in a hurry to get out in the public to do interviews and make money off of this. Which is the other Biggest mistake they have made by letting AMERICA and other Countries know they were the ones who set a killer free. That is something to be really proud of. Its amazing that the whole world knew she was guilty but they couldnt see it. Then they get out here and see how furious they have made everyone and they want to make excuses on the decisions they made. And they were sick to their stomach to make a not guilty verdict. Yeah right! You think seeing little Caylee's skull with duct tape over her mouth would have made them sick but NO I guess to these Idiots its ok to kill your child and let them get away with it. My 7 yr old son had more sense than anyone of these people He knew she was GUILTY!
Erin Abraham Murray

People think the jury is incompetent because they basically admitted that they were. Jennifer Ford going on national television in exchange for a trip to Disney World saying that there was no "absolute" proof of murder. Absolute is not the law - the law is reasonable doubt.
Russell Huekler went on national televison and said that Casey Anthony was a "good mother". That is insulting on so many levels. One thing that was "absolutely" proven was that she knew her child was dead and she let her body rot in the wood & be torn apart by animals. A "good mother" doesn't do that. So, screw you Huekler and your bs.
Every single one of you put George Anthony on trial because he might have had an affair, but gave Casey a pass for lying until her daughter's body decomposed & evidence was destroyed....THEN say the State didn't have enough evidence.
That's quite a message to send. Its okay to kill children as long as you can hide evidence??? Really???
Each one of you have to live with your decision and that will be your own private hell. Jennifer Ford says she can sleep at night, but I doubt it since she is trying to validate her horrible lack of judgement and reasoning.
May God help you if you ever have to put your faith in justice in the hands of 12 people that could sell out to the highest bidder. You might just get the "justice" you gave.

Oh so the jurors are surprised that 92% of the World think they are incompentent? Let's see; she was the last person to have access to Caylee and to her car, she lied for 2 years about a job and college, she stole from anyone not looking, she lied about a Nanny and friends, she dodged her parents and she didn't call ANYONE for 31 days after her child was missing/drowned/lost (depends on the day of the week), she had access to the duct tape, the Pooh blanket, the laundry bag. There is so much more and if the dimwitted, incompentent jurors would have BOTHERED to exam the evidence and ask questions, they would have connected the dots. For Gods Sake you were given a map and bread crumbs, I guess you also needed a compass and tour guide. You will forever be lumped in with the OJ jurors..morans all 12 of you.

As evidenced by some of the comments uttered by a few of the jurors, it is as clear as a bell that this jury collectively was ignorant of what they were charged to do by Judge Perry. Ten hours would not have been nearly enough time to peruse the mountains of evidence in this case, nor intelligently discuss the various charges available to them. No questions were asked, no evidence was requested for review. There is no other conclusion other than to conclude that this jury was ignorant, lazy, and a complete embarrassment to the residents of Florida. It's actually funny that these jurors didn't even attempt to hide their indifference to their obligation. All they wanted to do was get out of there, pronto. Again, Florida is a laughing stock to the nation, and to the world. Great going Jurors. You really did a bang-up job of proving your complete stupidity to the world.

Any mother who doesn't call the police to report a child missing or taken for 31 days needs the death sentence because she is useless to society! I think the mom & dad helped her get out of this. Her dad being a cop and used to being questioned knows what the jury needs to hear to get a doubt in their minds. And boy did they play it all the way. Brother raped her, dad raped her, mom searched on the computer all a bunch of crap!

It is obvious to me some or many of the jurors can be viewed as totally incompetent. Take number 3 who claims she has no clue where this could happen, says pull over in parking lot or back seat or trunk. There was direct evidence presented that Casey hung around in the area till George left for work by her cell phone records. So either number 3 was still hung over from the night before, hit the bong prior to that that day's testimony or is incompetent IMO for how do you miss that evidence hung out in area till George left for work. then the other alternate says no motive, hello law is state does not need to prove motive. And this alternate for this article more or less simply says no evidence or not enough. IMO when you are incompetent nothing would be enough. Then there is another that says 6 to 6, really, if that were true they'd still be in Orlando and maybe right about now the judge might entertain a hung jury. Plain and simple they just had no interest in deliberating IMO and/or wanted to go home, and add a measure of total incompetence for some or many of them. Add as well for some of them a total and complete lack of ethics as they talked about the case when they were told not to and agreed not to. Demanding to see the heart sticker via note to the judge is proof the unethical IMO creeps involved in that were talking about evidence presented when they were not supposed to discuss anything with anyone!

everyone making comments about what happened in the courtroom, either has nothing better to do or just plain stupid. Perhaps you need to read up on the constitution and the law. The prosecutors went for the highest crime of capital murder. that was their biggest mistake. there must be a motive and a cause of death. they had neither. just speculation. If you convict a person on her character and not evidence presented, it's not only a violation of the constitution but NOT HOW THE US LEGAL SYSTEM WORKS. Perhaps with all of your time,, you should do your research before making stupid comments. i'm glad each of you isn't a juror or innocent people would be sentenced to death. I think she is guilty as sin but those jurors cannot convict on evidence that wasn't there. kuddos to them. Justice was served because her life would have much better in prison. She's going to have a tough time surviving outside of those walls mark my words.

You are making comments about what happened in the courtroom, but that's not relevent. Where in the jury instructions does it say the state must prove motive & there must be a cause of death? You won't find it because it is not there. There are convictions where the body of the victim was never found & there are many motiveless murders. Capital murder was not the only charge. There were several lesser included offenses that were proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the evidence presented at trial. If you will do the research and go through the jury instructions, you might see why people are so upset. They didn't follow the jury instructions & they used information that was not evidence in rendering a verdict. If they would have looked at just one piece of evidence during deliberations or asked for clarification on things they clearly did not understand, there might not be this much anger. They didn't do that.

Thank you. A lone voice of rationality and cogent understanding of the actual law. Pity they went for a charge they could not prove to satisfy public bloodlust. And... 4 years in prison is long enough for those women to administer their form of justice, but yet not long enough for it to be ancient history when she is released. If she can't be put away for as long as it seems she deserved, as least her 'beautiful life' stands the likely chance of plumbing the depths of horror, fear, and absolute lack of compassion she bestowed on an innocent life.

Erin Abraham Murray
11:56 am on Friday, July 8, 2011
JeromeFJ - Yes, she was acquitted of the lesser included offenses. The reasons given for this by the jurors do not follow the law. Before you call someone a fool, you might benefit from reading the jury instructions. The reasons they are stating they acquitted for all of the major offenses are contrary to how they were instructed to deliberate. People are upset because they did not follow the law. They were considering punishment during the guilt phase, using the unfounded allegations of sexual abuse - the opening statement is not evidence and should not be considered in deliberations, motive is not required, etc. I'm sure there is a bloodlust by a small segment of the population, but most people are just sick seeing someone get away with the death of Caylee Anthony & the jurors telling why and its not based on the law.

One point I don't hear anyone bring up when pointing out this sluts guilt is the cadaver dogs. These dogs have no allegiance to anyone and only lead their handlers to the truth. Two dogs on two separate occasions hit in two spots at the Anthony home : next to her playhouse and her car trunk. What did these jurors think of that ? Were the dogs in on it ?? What a crime she will walk away laughing !! Hopefully she will meet up with someone just as evil as herself.

IMO it is time for change, in our jury system. I think this country is in need of PROFESSIONAL juries in all felony cases. Science has become far to advance for the average person to understand.The experts have studied and done research in their fields for years. It is impossible for them to clearly explain evidence and what it means, in the short amount of time they are on the stand. In all honesty, I also believe that people do stop listening to topics they do not understand or are not really interested in. The Anthony verdict is what it is, and while I DO NOT AGREE with it, we must move forward, and learn from it. I am disappointed in what is being said in the few juror interviews out there so far. It seems to me they were not clear on the instructions, or did not spend enough time reviewing the evidence. We know Caylee is dead. We know Casey was the last one with her. She is GUILTY of something.No dysfunction in the world explains how she behaved for 31 days, period.
JeromeFJ
9:15 am on Friday, July 8, 2011
Well said. This verdict and the Simpson verdict highlight a dark secret in our justice system -- it is very easy for well-funded criminal defense attorneys to rig up a jury full of remarkably ignorant, lazy, and poorly educated jurors. In the case of the Simpson jury, you had rank racism, proudly displayed. In this case you have complete and total ignorance of the law.
The prosecution allowed this group to judge their case -- big mistake. Maybe they couldn't imagine a group this ignorant. The judge allowed them to take part in the case without any apparent understanding of their responsibilities -- another big mistake. All of their comments display utter confusion and lack of integrity.
The foreman of this ship of fools should be jailed.

Joseph Rainer,
For the record, there is no evidence to support your overgeneralization that housewives and waitresses are not intelligent, but clearly your constant reference to an awareness that a constitution exists is your attempt to come across as intelligent. By the way, I have two degrees and have studied psychology and the law extensively. Casey likely suffers from Narcissitic Personality disorder and Anti-social Personality disorder which means her skills to lie, manipulate and hoodwink others is extensive. The jury was seduced by this and with the help of the lies her lawyers supported how could they not be; however, the trouble w ith this jury is they did not look at any of the evidence while deliberating; furthermore, many of the questions that jury num. 3 wanted answered were answered. Take a look at the cell phone records that Jeff Ashton brought to the jury's attention. The fact that a body decomposes, thus rendering little forensic evidense, should not prevent a leap away from common sense. There was duct tape on the childs skeletol remains. It didn't get there on it's own. If interested, look up Col. (formerly) Russell Williams; he murder his victim Marie France with duct tabe across mouth and nose. We know this as fact because he filmed it. Too bad Casey didn't leave that kind of evidence, so as to put to rest foolish attempts at excusing her actions. You're entitled to your opinion, but common sense you should also look into.
RS
8:58 pm on Thursday, July 7, 2011
Laurie, nice try but jurors had option to choose lesser crime that did not include death as a punishment. And state is not required under the law to provide motive. So maybe you can acquaint yourself with the laws of this land, Florida law in particular, since you brought that subject up and since you want to bring up the Constitution as it is obvious from your post you are not familiar with either.
Deb Freeman
8:59 pm on Thursday, July 7, 2011
Yep you can kill your child and 31 days or more later report it (It's not against the law to not report your child missing). So when you are sure the body is decomposed enough so they can't tell what happened you can call 911. Don't worry you won't go to prison.

I believe this jury think they did their duty. But I seriously question that they realised they actually are allowed to think for themselves, actually re-examine testimony, ask questions , do a little connecting of the dots with what I consider to be overwhelming evidence. How much more evidence was needed to place Caylee's dead body in that trunk. They had the stench, the hair with decomp banding, her trashbag decoy, cadaver dog alert. Even if they chose not to consider Dr Vass's opinion, did they actually consider who had exclusive use of the car and the Big Trouble T shirt. Did they give one thought to her borrowing a shovel, when her mother thinks she's in Tampa. Did her lies on the jailhouse tapes and her attempts to implicate others totally pass them by. And how in heck does duct tape keep the mandible in place. Nowhere in jury instructions does an exact cause of death have to be determined. Though in this case I think accidental drowning is totally unsupported. Does the method of how Caylee was disposed of suggest accident. Neither does motive have to be shown by prosecutors. By this jury's standards Scott Peterson would also have walked. His jury took 8 days and they did look at ALL the evidence in its totality. They didnt leave common sense with the dessert lady. Sorry but next Wednesday a child murderer and imo pysycopath will be back in our midst.

The jury obviously didn't understand that reasonable doubt doesn't mean any doubt. The nursing student (I'm a nurse and we don't need her in the profession) didn't even remember that the neighbor saw Casey back up her car to the garage the day Caylee went missing. They never asked to see any of the evidence or ask any questions. This is rare for a trial of this magnitude. They also had the mistaken impression that they would be sentencing Casey. Oh how I wish they had been smarter and asked questions when they didn't understand the judge's instructions. I don't want any of them to be hurt if their names are released, but isn't it ironic that they are so concerned about themselves, but showed so little concern for justice for a little child.

I am very sad for the fact that there seems not one or even two among them that can come clean and admit there were those who were discussing evidence coming in when they should not have been. They cannot even afford poor little dead Caylee that TRUTH. It is obvious it was happening from that demand to see the heart sticker. It would be easy or should be easy to do that for Caylee. There is a reason jurors should not be discussing evidence coming in, is distracts the focus of the panel and could be the result of one or two who deliberately wanted to disrupt the panel. I just cannot believe, given they likely still have Judge Perry contact info, or chief judge in Pinellas, that they will not at least fess that up for little Caylee.

Her so called mother claimed via her attorneys she was in the house when Caylee got herself into the pool.

I only have one question to ask all the jury haters - "How would you like to be convicted of a crime you didn't commit just because of what the tabloids have to say about you?" Wouldn't you want your trial to be decided by hard evidence and not public opinion, talk show hosts, rumors, and spectulation?
Most people don't understand the law, but the jury could not convict Casey, because the prosecution did not "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that Casey killed Caylee. We can't have innocent people sitting on death row just because people "think they might be" guilty. They have to be proven guilty under the law.
There is such a thing as karma. If Casey Anthony is really the evil psychopath that media has made her out to be - if she really did killed Caylee - then she will come to a bad end and then she will meet her maker. There will be justice even if it is divine justice.
The story of Caylee is heartbreaking and she will never be forgotten. Caylee is in Heaven, and she didn't die in vain. If Caylee's Law is passed in several states, then children who are abused, neglected, abducted, or murdered will be protected in the future. If you don't know what Caylee's Law is then google it. Children disappear and are abused and killed every day, but they most don't get the kind of attention this case did. Everything happens for a reason and the jury did their job. God Bless Caylee and may there be justice.

I think the State prosecution did a exellent job proving Casey is Guilty.The Juror's in this case upset because majority think they're incompetent? You the Jury shouldn't be upset for people thinking y'all incompetent.You should be upset because you gave the wrong verdict.I don't care if the case was based off circumstantial evidence.The evidence that The State of Florida provided clearly shows who killed Caylee.The Defense claimed Caylee drowned but during the course of the whole trial.They did not even provide circumstantial evidence.Jose Baez only showed on national television that he didn't even know what evidence he was trying to prove.
You the Jury must of been sleeping during trial.Justice will come for little Caylee whether it's here on Earth or when Casey meets her maker.She might be more safe behind bars than on the streets.The most disgusting case I have ever heard of.
Makes me wonder if you the jury got paid to LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The verdict was a "travesty of justice" for an innocent little toddler who deserved so much more than this. The verdict set a precedent for mothers who want rid of their responsibilities as a parent. Caylee is dead and she didn't kill herself. The prosecutors gave the jurors a motive. Casey wanted to live the beautiful life and it showed pictures of her partying. The cause of death was suffocation by duct tape and cholorform. The last time she was seen was June 16th with her mother. What is so hard about that. For those who think it was "just" an accident...Duct tape is NO accident. It is an intentional act. Casey didn't want Caylee from the time she found out she was pregnant. The jurors didn't hear that one, but they had enough evidence to convict. We all have to accept the verdict, but we don't have to like it. The killer of a helpless little girl was set free to walk among us.

I have lived in Florida for 40 yrs, and never did I think a child would be killed by her mother and a jury allow her to walk free! I didn't watch Nancy Grace, only the trial when I could and videos of it. This is truly a disgrace! Casey Anthony, her attorney, and jurors cashing in on the death of a little 2 year old girl......sickening!

I wonder if the juror that got an all expense paid trip to Disney World thought of Caylee while she was there enjoying herself? Poor little girl probabaly never had the chance to go to Disney.

I'm not 100% convinced that Casey's parents didn't help try to cover things up or dispose of the body. For those of you who are parents - if your child committed a crime would you turn them in or would you try to cover for them? What if your child was facing death row - would you try to protect them or let them fry? Then it gets more complex - if you were a grandparent and you thought your child might have killed your grandchild (whether intentionally or accidentally) - would you still cover for them? The whole family is disfunctional and they lie because they don't want to face things. Casey doesn't want to face responsiblity. Her parents for a long time probably didn't want to face the fact that Casey is an evil, lying, bitch who needs to grow up and be a human. I'm not so sure that George didn't try to cover for Casey as the defense alleged.
Other point - no one really knows if Caylee's death was intentional or accidential so the jury wouldn't know if it was 1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, or some lesser charge. No one even knows how she died. On the one hand, if Casey was partying and didn't report her missing she looked guilty. On the other hand, if Casey had planned the murder in advance I think she would have called the police right away so that she wouldn't appear guilty. The 31 days of partying and lying really show that she can't face responsibility whether she is purposely evil or just a pathetic excuse for a human.

Bottom line - I'm thinking that's why Casey got off - because the jury was probably as confused about what really happened as I am. To convince me that Casey should go to death row, I would need proof that Casey killed Caylee in cold blood and dumped her body in the swamp. I am not certain that happened. All I see is a bunch of angry people who think Casey killed Caylee with choroform and got off when there was no forensic evidence that Casey ever purchased or manufactured chloroform or that chloroform caused Caylee to die or that Caylee was ever given chloroform. There was no evidence of drugs, chloroform or evidence that Caylee died from suffocation, no broken bones or evidence of a struggle or trauma - nothing. In fact, there is no evidence that Caylee wasn't abducted, molested or killed by someone else - maybe a pedaphile. Casey is responsible on some level whether she killed Caylee or it was an accident, or she simply is guilty of ignoring Caylee. Everybody is saying that a murderer walked free, but the fact is you can't pinpoint what really happened. I guess most people believe talk show hosts and don't think outside the box. One can't mistake outrage over the death of a child for simply not having the truth. The jurors needed three options: guilty, not guilty, or I don't know. "I don't know" wasn't an option and for "guilty" the prosecution had to prove that there were no other explainations for why Caylee died then the one they presented.

5:46 am on Friday, July 8, 2011
The reason why there is no proof is because of the length of time the body was sitting in the FL heat, I live in FL I know how bad it is, and the water allowed all potential evidence to give way to the elements. Caylee didn't put the tape on her mouth and put herself in the garbage bags that we all can agree on. Whatever occurred, since Casey did know take your pick murder or accident, she never told the police the body was in the woods with all the evidence that could be tested/processed. Is that the jury's fault? No, the only person for not telling everything to the police is Casey. I am not totally convinced Cindy and George didn't have some part in the cover up either but they were not on trial. I am sorry the whole 31 days was pretty cold no matter what, the grief expert that was brought in never even met with Casey. I can understand that they found her not guilty because of the evidence compared to beyond a shadow of doubt. I do think they could have found her guilty of child abuse just my opinion. I also believe in karma and it probably will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Quite honestly I had to stop reading a few passages ago but I agree w the majority of you. She killed her daughter PERIOD. And by stating the Lord owns revenge simply proves you agree w us. Btw isnt church and state seperate? Our legal system screwed up, someone following the story for an hour could see there was more than enough evidence to convict Casey and her bipolar alter ego. Oh, and I look forward to OJs public confession as much as hearing you got run over by a car =)

What do you mean you don’t know what happened to Caylee? If you feel sick, it’s because YOU didn't do your job, not because the State didn't prove their case. OMG.
How is a baby in the woods an accident ? The only one who knew where the body was Casey and she wasn't talking because she had more important things to do. This is a good mother ? One who doesn't work, lies about it and steals to live - and then says her father and her brother sexually molested her ?
Oh, yeah, Judge told you to disreguard that. UT OH another BIG ASS LIE ...If there is any logic in there, I can't find it. Either you are on psych meds or you need to be.
You think you can say the state didn't prove the case and thats going to excuse your sloppy judgement ? No one believes that, and you and your 11 cousins made a huge mistake the whole world watched on the internet.
So, how did you feel when you found out she is a 6 time convicted FELON ? She initially plead not guilty then too, but threre were tapes of that GUILTY
Too bad she didn't make a home movie of how SHE KILLED CAYLEE so you would KNOW what happened. Because of you and your merry little band, I will never have any faith in our legal system again. YOU 12 failed CAYLEE and the whole world knows it. Too bad you never will. The American dream is DEAD
Last thing - I would never buy any book or buy any product you guys might endorse. Most of us never want to hear anything you have to say because you have as much credibility as Casey.

Juror #3 needs to stop talking. She makes her group sound more lazy and inept with every syllable. This woman failed to take a single note, and apparently like the others failed to re-examine one piece of evidence during deliberation.. She certainly failed to get that opening statements are not evidence and that the State are not required to prove motive. She also totally missed out that KC's ping phones had her at the house on June 16th till after 4.00pm. Then she says she doesnt have a clue what happened to Caylee. Remember her, well juror #3 she's the one in the photogrpahs, the one who was wrapped in a winnie the pooh blanket, (big clue) stuffed in a trash bag, then stuffed in a WHITNEY design laundry bag (anothe big clue) then she was tossed like a piece of roadkill into woods 15 houses down from where she used to live (huge clue).Oh and she was 34 months old and had three pieces of duct tape over her face. And her Mom borrowed a shovel when she nipped home from her conference at Tampa..

ALL JMHO..I think there was an accident that day. I believe George and Casey were both at home. I do believe George found the body. I do believe George was complicit in a cover-up and actually demanded it of Casey..because I do believe he had molested Casey and believe he had started molesting Caylee. he knew if there were a soft tissue autopsy, he woulda been busted for diddling with the baby, again, JMHO. You don't not take your teen daughter to a doctor with stated serious menses period problems because your a nurse and handle things yourself, you would however, not take your young daughter with serious menstrual problems to a doctor, because sexual abuse might be discovered. Evidence that was kept out of the trial: what about George Anthony's escort service involvement, and deviant sexual fetishes, of coarse because George Anthony wasn't on trial, but why didn't LE follow up on that? could have certainly painted a diff picture for everyone. Thats just a few slivers of much stuff!!...again..MOO

"We are upset that people think we're incompetent," he said..."
Oh, let's be honest, Dean. We think you are actually retarded and probably illiterate, not just incompetent. And here's why:
"Ford told ABC News that the prosecution's case had too many holes for the jury to convict Anthony of first-degree murder."
This, of course, leaves even the casual observer flummoxed: So...why did you then find her not guilty of manslaughter and aggravated child abuse? Surely the facts of this sweet child's murder warrant some criticism of her apparently criminally insane mother...no?
RS
9:29 am on Friday, July 8, 2011
The jurors can claim any excuse they want, the issue they have is their friends, family, coworkers and community saw the trial and the evidence entered. that is how people know Ford is IMO full of it when she pretends she had no idea where Casey could have done the deed, acting and pretending like she would have to pull to side of road or parking lot, when there was direct evidence entered by phone records Casey hung around the area of the house till George went to work. Let these jurors spin all they want to try to excuse what they did. It almost seems as if they would tell you Caylee searched for chloroform and how to make it months in advance and then secretly deleted the searches so they end up in deleted files. And caylee applied the duct tape to herself and used so much chloroform on herself it is still detected more than a month after the car is abandoned. These jurors sat there, they heard Dr. Vass detected chloroform first before OCSO then searched the computer and found it as a result of Dr. Vass observations on samples from trunk. Let them and their minority of total population enablers spin al they want, they just look worse the more they say in media.

Juror #3 argued in a TV interview: "If not for the death penalty, we might have convicted her."
As the article below states, at that point in the deliberation it was NOT the jury's job to consider the penalty. That takes place in the penalty phase. "If she’s saying that her findings of fact would have been different had a nonevidentiary variable been changed, then she’s actually practicing a subtle form of nullification here. "
http://alturl.com/dio9j
The manslaughter charge was at 6-6. Normally, juries with this type of split end up finding the defendant guilty. But....Juror 3 was tired of seeing the pool from her hotel window and upset that she couldn't go swimming...another juror had a cruise to catch...and all of them were tired of being there. With weeks of testimony and all that evidence, not ONE question was asked of the court. It is obvious that their deliberations ended Monday at 6PM because they were dressed up on Tuesday morning. The decision was made and the rush to injustice was announced.
Jurors, please don't worry about whether we think you are incompetent or not. That answer will come as you see Caylee's bones in your mind before your fall asleep every night, knowing that while Casey was accused of throwing her baby daughter in the swamp, you may have been the vehicle that took her to the land fill.

It was never really 6 to 6 as how could you get 6 people that fast to change their mind and vote not guilty. I think these jurors need to stop giving media interviews, IMO each time they do they look even worse.

The "Jury", and I use that term lightly, didn't even bother to go over the evidence. Not one thing was asked for. Unbelievable in itself. They either had to be intellectually lazy, or totally incompetent . It was a circumstanial case. Plenty of people get convicted without a body, or evidence of how the death occured. Look at all the mob trials. The victim is in 50 feet of water, with concrete shoes on. No one ever finds the body, and no one knows how they died. I really do not know what this jury expected out of the prosecution. They had enough evidence to convict her twice over. And don't forget, if it was not for her lies to the police, the body could have been recovered much earlier. Of course, she would not have wanted that, as they could have linked her to the body. This alone would convict her in my mind. It is hard to believe that 12 people could have found her not guilty. Not one person could challenge the rest. It is disgusting!

Misty, I'm not sure what is wrong with you and I really don't care. We can respect our system of justice and not respect a jury that did not do their civic duty. The system only works if all parties do their job. The state did their job, the defense did their job (even if it meant heaping on sleaze and lies in the process), but the jury DID NOT do their job. During "deliberations" they did not once ask a question for clarification or review evidence. To add insult to injury, they based their verdict on an unfounded theory. It was their job to review the evidence presented and see if there was a reasonable doubt. They pick out a fairy tale and went with it. There is nothing "reasonable" about their decison. A mother that parties like a rock star for a month, lies about where the child is, and the child found taped up and bagged up in a swamp does not "reasonably" conclude to accident. You sound pretty damn smug about the verdict. I can only assume that you support murder and think that people should get off if they hide the body well enough. Idiot.

Also having grown up in Pinellas and having great teachers, I know how to pay attention to important things like evidence presented in a case. You know, like cell phone data indicating Casey hung out till her Dad left for work, then after he left for hours shown at home area after he left unlike juror number 3 and seems maybe her colleagues. Also i am an honorable person, I would not discuss the case evidence as they IMO did when they were not supposed to, proof is their demand for heart sticker evidence, they talked and if I had, after I left my conscience would eat at me and I would do the honorable thing and confess there were discussions going on when they should not have been. and worse IMO, far worse and a slap to little Caylee, is so far not one has the decency to report to Judge Perry or Chief judge of Pinellas that jurors were discussing the evidence when they should not have been, the heart sticker demand proves they were.

Like everything else in this country now-a-days, people are afraid to act on their convictions. Yes, proof, but there is also personal knowing. You can't take that away from a person, even one on jury duty. If everyone is so sure of unbiased justice, the two people on the jury who said they could not judge a person, should not have been chosen to be on that jury. It was a very serious case (life or death). I heard the convoluted story about one being okay'd so the other should be too, so as not to show racism. So just let the two of them go. No consequences for actions. She deserves to serve time and she did it. We all know it, but if on the jury, you can't make your decision freely. More things were reasonably doubtful than being of reasonable doubt. I think they were in a hurry to get home and knew they could make a judgement of "not guilty?" more easily concerning their conscience, than guilty and they did not want to take any longer and argue with jurors who did not agree. Yes, I blame the jury, they are the ones who could have made her pay for not wanting Caylee and just discarding her like a bag of garbage. Hypocrites all of them. If not sure, but more sure, then give her some jail time (life maybe) and hope, in time, her not guilty plea comes to fruition. There is just plain evil out there and the people who refuse to believe it will always live with their heads in the sand.

The jurors will have to live with their comscience and get asked this question the rest of their lives :
It's hard to understand how Anthony escaped conviction on the third count of the indictment: aggravated manslaughter of a child.
In order to be found guilty of that charge, the prosecution did not have to prove premeditation or prior intent. The "legalese" contained in the indictment is not difficult to interpret. According to WESH:
The defendant by "culpable negligence -- while a caregiver to Caylee Marie Anthony -- .fail(ed) or omitted to provide Caylee Marie Anthony with the care, supervision, and services necessary to maintain Caylee Marie Anthony's physical and mental health -- ."
The indictment applies as well to failures to protect baby Caylee from "abuse, neglect, or exploitation by another person" which could cause the death of the child.
Certainly the "culpable negligence" was evident even from circumstantial evidence. Did the jury need included videotape instructions?
Kelly
2:13 pm on Friday, July 8, 2011
The jurors DID not look at the evidence. It took only 11 hours to come back with a Not Guilty. They did not take time to start from scratch and look at the huge evidence in front of them. Missing for 31 days, lying about Caylee's whereabouts knowing that she was dead, the duct tape, the ME report, the tatoo, the smell of decomposition, the cadaver dogs, etc, etc, etc. They were not incompetent,they were plain Lazy and careless. It is so much easier to just say " not guilty, let's get our of here. They were tired and sick of all of the people during testimony. But if they went back to day one, and look at the evidence, it was there to convict her of aggravated manslaughter at least. It was not a death penalty case, but it was manslaughter. They jury just failed to do the job they were called to do. Eleven hours is not enough time to even read the judge's instructions. Just lazy.

These jurors obviously talked about this case before deliberations even started. They did not even go through the evidence to answer some of their unanswered questions. With all that evidence .. I am to think 11 hours was enough to review it to help answer some of the questions they had. Right, they were getting ready to go home, chatting, and doing their nails during that 11 hours. It's disheartening that these people took their responsibilities so lightly and set a baby killer free to kill again.

Cheri, you are so correct. These jurors were supposed to give young Caylee a voice and a fair decision. They were supposed to take the time and look through all of the evidence. What this juror #3 is coming up with is absurd. She is saying there was no cause of death and no time of death. Holy Christ !! There was no cause because young Caylee decomposed to bones, of course you can't prove how she died but you have to use your common sense at that point and say, duct taped over the nose and mouth, pretty obvious how. The time, uh, Caylee was never seen again after she left with Casey, so the time would have been soon after the time she left with her alone. Why would the juror need a specific date to convict ? These jurors should be prosecuted themselves !!!!!

People have every right to be outraged. Most murders don't have a witness. The crime is a puzzle that intelligent people guided by both sides have to put together. Not once did I hear during the trial exactly how Caylee died and if they tired to save her...where are all those details??? I think what I find the most upsetting about this jury.....they charge her on 4 counts of lying yet they believe this story about a drowning? And then what type of person would dump her daughter in a swamp, isn't that a big clue for the jury.. They should have been able to piece enough of the evidence together to come up with one charge besides the lies. Can 95% of the world be wrong on this. It is very sad now people will think they can get away with murder. This jury must have wanted to go home and one of them said they weren't emotionally involved....wow that is a scary thing to hear, what kind of person could hear all that testimony and not feel somehow emotionally involved especially when it all lies in their hands. I realize the jury has to take a step back to look at the big picture...in this case I honestly don't feel they did. That Tuesday morning it wasn't a 12-0 vote but within a few short hours it is???? To me they should have deliberated at least a few more days to make sure they examined everything very carefully. I hope for their own sakes they are still thinking they did the right thing although for the life of me I just don't see how they could let her off.

Those jurors from Pinellas County just wanted to go home. They were totally incompetent. They came to the courthouse the next morning in dress suits, knowing that they would be giving their verdict. They just waited until lunch time to make it look like they actually put some thought into it. I live in Orange County, Fl and if the jurors were chosen from here, like they should have been, there would have been a completely different outcome. There has been so much comparison to the Scott Peterson case due to all of the circumstantial evidence. At least the jurors in California took their jobs seriously and deliberated for 7 days! The Casey Anthony jurors now know what most people think of their decision, I hope they can sleep at night knowing they've allowed a baby killer to go free. My husband and daughter was part of the Equisearch team looking for Caylee. Casey made fools out of everyone, especially the jurors.

I truly believe the Jury did the best they could, HOWEVER....they must live in a very protected world of innocence that they can't conceive of the evil in this mother. Haven't they heard of the Susan Smith case - the mom who killed her children because she wanted to be with a man she fancied? There is evil in this world and women do horrific things just because they are narcissistic, sociopathic and plain old selfish. That describes Casey. You don't need proof of HOW or WHY a child was murdered. She was murdered! It is obvious a child thrown into a swamp with 3 pieces of duct tape over her face (nose and mouth) was murdered. Why? No one has to know WHY. That is not a requirement in order to find a person guilty. And why is the HOW important? Regardless of what stripped the breath from this child makes no difference. She didn't stop breathing on her own. And no one drove around in that car with the decomposing body other than Casey. Did the Jury throw COMMON SENSE out of the equation in their deliberations? It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to recognize the truth here.

4:18 pm on Friday, July 8, 2011
I am left frustrated because someone killed this child and the mother does not want, nor care, to explain what she knows. Aside from the lies, the prosecution could not prove Casey murdered her daughter, nor could they prove she had ever abandoned or mistreated her. Not ever. They could not prove who put Calee in the bag, nor who put the tape on her. No DNA, except for the tech who was testing it. Casey does not seem to care to explain herself and she does not have to - I wish she would. The job of the prosecutor is to make the best case POSSIBLE. Finding a body too late to get cause of death did not help - also the fact that Casey did not crack under pressure didn't help them either. Now we are left filling in the blanks with each of our own prejudices/belief - Everyone who condemns her believe's they KNOW. We don't. Only the murder knows...it may very well have been Casey. However, she had her day in court and has been found "not guilty". Time to move on...let go...let God handle this one.

So the jury is upset about thinking you are incompetent? Here is what I have to say to you the jury: incompetent, incompetent, incompetent, uneducated, low IQ, how do you even go to the bathroom by yourself, moronic, stupid, idiots, INCOMPETENT! There I said it. I hope that upsets you more, since you are more upset about what people think of you than a precious little baby that died a horrible death and was thrown in a swamp like a pile of garbage and left to rot for six months.

The only voice we have as a public at this point is our money and our attention. We must make sure that anyone offering Casey Anthoney, her family, the jurors or her attorneys any money or gifts for talking to them should know our dissatisfaction. Because they are doing just what the celebrating attorneys did as he flipped the F---you finger to the public. DO NOT BUY ANY PRODUCT THAT SPONSORS ANY SHOW BOOK, MAGAZINE AND YES EVEN AMUSEMENT PARK THAT WOULD OFFER GIFTS OR MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE. It is our only voice. I don't want anyone to get physically hurt but I do not want them to profit in anyway from this.

KC LEFT CAYLEE IN THE BATH TUB , WHERE IS THAT KIND OF EVIDENCE , IS THAT A REASONABLE CONCLUSION , THERE ARE SO MANY UNREASONABLE THEORYS . Thats why we have law and rules so a jury dont go out side it . BUT THEY DID AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE .

Joseph-I am actually an attorney--what do you do in the legal field, might I ask? I bet you are a runner.
I am stunned by those of you here who claim that there was no evidence. Clearly Americans think evidence=sexy CSI laser-type forensics. The sheer idiocy of the verdict and its subsequent defense by the low-sloping forehead types here is disturbing. It is useless to argue with people who are hardly literate. For the literate here, enjoy this great explanation of how 12 morons came to such a verdict: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/07/08/casey-anthony-trail-the-sequestered-jury-fell-prey-to-idiotic-groupthink.html

A good friend suggested that the average IQ of the jury probably played a role; we bet the average IQ of the jury was around 90. Even the talking heads on CNN speculated that this jury was not "highly or formally educated." I cannot wait to find out. I bet the majority did not attend college, or perhaps even finish high school

If they didn't want to be viewed as incompetent, MAYBE they should have taken notes and attempted to really understand the complicated information given to them!! 6 weeks and they didn't even take their notebooks into deliberation!! They are beyond incompetent!! There was a TON of evidence and they had not one question?!?!?! Come on. They wanted to go home. Bottom line--- they were not only incompetent, they were also lazy and selfish!! I have a trial coming up for the man that murdered my husband and I am terrified this man will walk now that I know how lazy, selfish and incompetent a jury can be!!

I don't think they're incompetent. I think they're actually morons disguised as humans. They could not have deliberated that case in that short of time. They didn't thoroughly go over the evidence, nor did they question lies that were told on the stand. For example that "Spitz" the defense expert who says that a good autopsy (and every one he's ever performed) includes cutting open the skull and testing everything, but he doesn't have a lab or the capability to test everything. However he's done 60,000 thorough autopsies in his career. Anybody else figure that one out? 1 autopsy per day, 365 days per year no days off (not even holidays) equals 164.38 years that he has been performing autopsies. Even 2 a day comes to 82.19 years. I knew the guy was old, but this lie is ludicrous and the jury should've questioned it, if they were looking at their task seriously and not just a way to get their 15 minutes of fame an fortune. I think some of them will now go into hiding, not because they are afraid people will call them incompetent, but because they are ashamed of what they did.

Did the jury do the best they could? Did they really have Reasonable Doubt? No. When you only spend 45-50 minutes deliberating each charge in a Capital Murder case, when you have a juror telling everyone they have to be on a cruise in 2 days, and when you fail to look at evidence items or hear testimonial read backs, can you really say "We did our best"? The Scott Peterson trial is campared because they are almost identical. However, that jury took 56 hours to reach a verdict, spending an average of 7 hours on each charge. They also looked at all the evidence and had testimonial read backs, none of which the Anthony jury did. Can we as the public declare that there is Reasonable Doubt this jury did the best they could?

Probably my last on the subject of these jurors. It defies logic and reason they finished as fast as they did. Also, if Caylee had been found absent duct tape, which she was not, you'd still have to get past searching for chloroform months prior and then finding chloroform in the trunk at levels so HIGH still more than a month after Caylee was last seen. Caylee did not suffocate herself with the tape on her nose and mouth, she did not apply chloroform to herself so she would not fight the application of tape, and she did not lie for 31 days till forced to speak with 911 dispatch. IMO it can only be concluded Casey did those things. Those jurors IMO are the worst our society has to offer to consider such important issues as the murder of a tiny little girl.

The jury made the only 'right' decision possible. They could not bring a murder or manslaughter or child abuse conviction when there was no proof. Not reporting a drowning to the police is not not evidence of murder. Disposing of a body in an inappropriate - even criminal - manner is not evidence that a crime was committed aside from the disposal of the remains. Fortunately, 12 jurors were not nearly as ignornant about the law and our constitution as the majority of our country appears.

Hundreds of photos? So you lie as well as many associated with the case. good mother? From people who knew Casey less than a month before Caylee is dead? Casey met tony L. end of May 2008, his roommates who said gosh good mother only saw Caylee twice with Casey, Caylee was dead June 16, so these character witnesses saw her "character" less than a full month. BTW: Good mothers don't kill their kid or lie about their kid being alive when she is dead. Monsters do that and Monsters like you make excuses for it, because your kind is just like her..

They don't steal 700 dollars from their friend's checking account, forging name and ID to pull it off. They don't sell images of their dead kid for 200,000 dollars to ABC while claiming she is alive and use those ill gotten sums to defend from charges she killed the kid.

This must be the first murder trial that these Casey supporters have experienced. MURDER doesn't come with witnesses and videos. Just because the defense kept drawing pictures (what do you want me to do---draw you a picture?) doesn't make it evidence. Also, has the defense come out in the media thanking the jurors for FREEING AN INNOCENT PERSON? NO, they can't believe their LUCK... picking a jury lacking "COMMON SENSE". They are not saying a word about it cause they can't believe it themselves.
Just wondering... do these 12 jurors work as characters at Disney World. They sure are living in a fantasy.
Why did Casey abandon her car that smelled of death? If she ran out of gas, why didn't she just walk to gas station (which was in walking distance) and continue to use the car? Also, if George was involved... why the hell was he so pissed off that he had to pay ... what $500.00 to get the car out of the tow yard? COME ON...
Misty
12:25 pm on Sunday, July 10, 2011
GA is a good actor...that's why he seemed so pissed about the money for the tow yard, and it was CINDY'S money, not Georges. And the car...why if the child died June 16th, friends riding in car after that never smelled the death smell, the amscot lady never smelled the uncover-able smell of death, the tow DRIVER ironically that never testified never smelled the smell, George on the 24th of June standing at the back of the car fighting over gas cans(even gave statement to police describing contents he was so close) never smelled death semll UNTIL...July 15th? strange and doesn't add up..then George just hops in, after he had 2 gas cans and luck would have it, knew the car was out of gas..hmm..then drives the death mobile home, parks it and goes to work? please...the states story is fantasy and BS! JMHO

Misty, Misty, Misty... seems to me that you really need to go back and listen to the trial videos on Channel 2 WESH. You are incorrect. The tow supervisor did testify... he smelled DEATH. Also, I believe it was Cindy who testified that Casey had run out of gas prior to them finding the car. George brought the gas can to the tow yard because he assumed that's what the problem was. ALSO... Casey didn't let George near the car on the 24th. Now I understand that YOU apparently don't have the FACTS. The day George drove the car was July 15th the day this all went down. George had just started a new job and he is going to be late for work cause his damn daughter and her shit!! He didn't know his daughter had KILLED Caylee.
RS
12:03 pm on Sunday, July 10, 2011
Speaking of thanks or no thanks. Roy Kronk according to reports, was never thanked by any member of that family for finding little Caylee. In fact, though alerted to the find of a small child just up from their house, the Anthonys, Baez and that investigator Dominic Casey dined at the Ritz, Cindy had crab puffs, steak was ordered for Baez, most of that was brought to jurors attention when george was on the stand and was asked by Ashton.
RS
12:34 pm on Sunday, July 10, 2011
Nice try with more BS Misty...Casey herself texted the car stunk twice, with last time she did right prior to her abandoning it...and the reason the defense did not call the tow driver is he said day he picked the car up he had a horrible sinus cold...it is in his depo...as for friends riding in it, it takes days for the stink, esp. when wrapped inside several plastic garbage bags and that inside a laundry bag...they rode on 17th of June per prior depo..1 day is not going to let that smell be so noticeable...
Misty
12:42 pm on Sunday, July 10, 2011
what about the 24th? that would have been 8 days past..and the tow driver didn't say he had a horrible sinus infection, his depo clearly states he didn't smell anything, but he was on the backside of a cold..keep the facts straight..and then July 15th, a month past and the smell is worse with no body? I am the one thinking logically here..
RS
12:48 pm on Sunday, July 10, 2011
Gosh misty using your logic George did smell decomp on the 24th..after al you call him a liar...can't have it both ways...and it was you who tried to spin the actual tow driver, only AFTER I mentioned cold as reason defense did not call him did you even mention it, instead to tried to use him to make things look shady...then there is the issue of cadaver dog hitting on trunk, plus umpteen human witnesses who smelled it, and several forensic tests, like decomp banded hair in trunk and chem signature of decomp in trunk....
Misty
12:52 pm on Sunday, July 10, 2011
no RS-
re read the George Anthony depo's he CLEARLY states, there was NO smell of human decomp on that day,the June 24th,2008 day, nor anything that appeared strange regarding the interior or items in the trunk. I have read every single depo, you have your so called facts wrong.
Lisa

Lets think about it clearly. On the 24th the smell was contained within the triple bags. This is why friend didnt smell anything on 20th. After her Dad wanted to get into the trunk on the 24th she panicked and went to childhood pet cemetery to dump Caylee. Bag either ripped or leaked when taking out of trunk and that is when smell started. Probably also spilled on her pants that Cindy took out of car and washed! This is same day Casey texted Amy H. that car was smelly due to dead squirrels. She ran out of gas again on 27th and left it at Amscot. Amy H. stated that on the same morning the car was towed she had taken Casey to get gas cans at Target for gas so she could go back for car. Casey went to get the car but, was too late. Car towed just prior to her arrival. She likely planned to try to get rid of smell somehow on her own but would continue to claim dead squirrels until she could be rid of smell. Car with decomp fluid continued to ferment at tow yard for few weeks and by time opened by George and Simon the smell was ripe and intense

There was no evidence of a drowning put forth, just some pics an alive Caylee able to climb some stairs...gosh why didn't they say see she can walk, why she walked out on the street in front of a car, or outside and got bit by a snake...or stolen by dingos since she had abilities..also if she had opened the glass door folks inside would then hear outside noises they had not been able to hear...unless considerate Caylee closed the door behind herself...none of what defense coughed up adds up...nothing they offered did....
Mike Briock
1:11 pm on Sunday, July 10, 2011
If there was an "accident" that caused Caylee's death, then why would the whole family cover it up? The parents spent the months prior to Caylee's disappearance warning Casey's rooommates and friends not to trust her, that she lies, steals, cheats, and is very good at it. To watch out because she is a bad person, already arrested for check fraud and theft. This does not sound like parents who would cover up an accident for Casey. Also, we all saw the parents jail visits where they are begging Casey to tell them were Caylee was... and Casey showing her sociopath behavior. Since the nanny was a total lie, and since it was covered in court that Casey got the drowning scenario from another inmate while in custody, that leaves one suspect and only one suspect.... Casey Anthony. So Casey... Nanny made up... Drowning made up. So how do you explain Caylee's disappearance when you were the very last person with her? This jury is on the defensive, making excuses. They say they followed the law... no they did not. All evidence, every piece, points to Casey, and Casey alone. Plus, how can you, as a jury, justify your verdict when you spent only a mere 45-50 minutes on each count in a capital murder case? You whizzed through each count in less time it takes a person to order their lunch, eat it, then return to work. Never asked to examine evidence, and you did not request any read backs of testimony? Only 9 measly hour on all those counts. 45-50 minutes spent per count... Pathetic!

She is guilty of murder. I believe she sedated and drowned Caylee in the bath tub. The duck tape was put over the childs nose and mouth because Casey not being able to make sure she was dead did not want the water to be able to be expelled from Caylee's nose and lungs. She deserved the death penalty. The jury concentrated on everything than what they should have, example, punishment, the judge handles the punishment not the jury, jury could not figure out how, when and where, they did not need to in order to arrive at a verdict. These things are for sure
1. Casey was last person with Caylee, no doubt in my mind
2. Caylee is dead, no doubt in my mind
3. Death was premeditated, no doubt in my mind
Jury is stupid, and biased
I also believe jury talked about the case with one another outside of the deliberation room, why else did they ask to see some evidence in the middle of the trial, at least 2-3 jurors are quilty of this

The jurors complained about not having enough evidence, but it was their job to connect the dots and fill in the blanks the same way police detectives do when investigating a crime. Unless a crime has many witnesses or was caught on video, there will always be some level of doubt. The jury should have given more thought to the huge mountain of circumstantial evidence against Casey Anthony.---Ty Treadwell, author of Last Suppers: Famous Final Meals from Death Row

Personally, I think the world had done marked Casey before the trail even started. To me, everybody has over looked the fact that Casey is/was a 22 yr old CHILD herself. She isn't/wasn't too smart on decisions and she lived in a fantasy world. Sadly to state, but I feel Caylee was nothing but a toy to Casey. A toy where she put away when she gets bored of it and her parents allowed this to happen. Everybody is questioning the month of not saying a word about Caylee's missing days. Well, what about the grandparents - you can not tell me that they went a month without seeing their grandchild and not asked questions. I'm a mother of three and a grandmother of three. I talk to my daughter - the mother of my grandkids- on a day to day bases and I see my grandkids at lease 3 times a week. I could NEVER go a month without seeing them. I don't see a grandparent doing so, unless they live in another state. I feel the crime is family relative, but I think Casey is naive about it. I would put my finger on an 'ex-law inforcer'. I don't think the jurors did a bad job at their decision. But I do think the police detectives did a incomplete job of gathering facts. They were focused on one think, Casey's immature state of age. They should have looked deeper and not just on her.

Or are you the male that had to pay $450.00 for talking. Don't tell me that I don't know FACTS. I know exactly what the rest of the world knows. And more about how that Flordia County works. The law enforcement didn't do a complete job. Just like the West Memphis Three Case. Arkansas didn't do a complete investigation and now a young man is paying for a step-father's crime. Don't judge people, unless you know them. I'm not the one who hasn't seen or talked to my grandkids for 31 days. I know where my grandkids are. Why didn't the Anthony's, because they knew what happen to that baby, maybe, who knows. Why wasn't that questioned? George and Cindy aren't innocent in this case. Haven't seen Caylee in 31 days. Please, get real, people, they're aren't victims. Sorry, if I'm stepping on toes, but don't say I'm stupid. I've been around the world a few times, just like everybody else my age.

This jury was incapable. A prosecutor sums it up perfectly:
"This jury found it reasonable to believe that a grandfather would see his granddaughter drown in an innocent manner, w/ no criminal liability, take that innocent accident, cover it up to frame his own daughter for 1st-degree murder & watch her have to battle a potential death penalty. They found it reasonable, so, under our system, she’s not guilty.”
This jury wanted to know if a crime had been committed. NO idiots, it is reasonable to think that there's been no crime when mother of the dead child has performed computer searches for "neck breaking" and "chloroform" (rather than say "drowning" or "resuscitation"), when 30 days pass before child is reported missing, when mother is out parting while child is missing, when mother abandons her car that stinks to kingdom come of a corpse and has levels of chloroform that are described as "shocking" by a guy who works with dead bodies every day)? No, no crime here. Jurors should have to pass a logic test or demonstrate that they are competent, capable of processing complex information & of applying deductive reasoning and critical thinking. This is hard and it's supposed to be - it takes focus & ability to link complex info & draw reasonable (not absolute) conclusions. This jury was looking for absolutes b/c having to think and put things together logically was too hard for them. They were incapable. No, jurors, you're not incompetent, you're lazy & incapable!

As a Juror I would have done the same as they did! There was NO evidence that she did it or even how she died! George looked more guilty to me!
1)He went to get the car at the impound and brought a gas can that had the same duck tape that was used on the child.
2) He knew the car was out of gas and that it sat in the parking lot for three days. How did he know that? The impound guy said he did not tell him how long the car had sat in the parking lot.
3)Then George who is an ex cop calls the police to report a missing gas can(the same one he took to get the car). Being an ex cop do you really believe he would call in a stolen gas can? Knowing that they would do nothing about something like that? I do not think so.
4)Then they showed at the fundraiser that he was the only person from the family and had the same duck tape on the table.
5)Then the Mistress of Georges testified that he told her "it was an accident that got out of control!"
6)Then you have an ex cop you MIGHT have sexually abused her, a mother that the State made clear was on Physiological medication!
I think George was baby sitting and the mother was either there or gone and the baby got into the pool and drowned and then George tried to covered it up. He then buried the baby in plastic and duck tape like he did with the same method as he did with his yard full of dead pets. If the state had used these things against George then they would have had a guilty verdict and the jury would have had more evidence!

If everyone who came from a dysfunctional family didn't have emotion when their kids died, there would never be any funerals and our swamps would be full of people. Her family being dysfunctional in NO WAY explains her actions after the child's death. Accident or Murder!! She was glad that little girl was gone- Had it been an accident, there is HUGE reasonable doubt that she would have been happy. Having it be her own plan to kill the child is the ONLY thing that explains her carefree happy attitude after the child's death. These jurors were lazy and thoughtless.

NEWSFLASH
Casey's aquital was due to an unforseen "Perfect Storm".
1. Many Jurors had to be "persuaded" to say they would "consider" the death penalty One said would vote to repeal it!
2. Jose Baez was allowed to "taint" the jury by making outrageous claims on behalf of CASEY the SOCIOPATH about sexual abuse and an accidental drowning knowing he couldn't show evidence of it or prove it. Her perfect lie/ploy concocted 6 weeks prior to trial to gain sympathy and cause doubt and hesitation amongst the jurors
3. George, Cindy, and Lee all lied about some things on the stand for Casey because they knew she killed Caylee but did they did not want her put to death What they really want to know is wether it was an accident or intentional. NO DOUBT it was one of the two
4. The jurors did not get to hear alot of other evidence that would have opened their eyes to "Casey's DIABOLICAL Mind". If they had been made aware of all of Casey's character flaws/personality disorders (SOCIOPATH) they would have had NO DOUBT!
5. It seems NONE of jurors aware of EXCLUDED evidence prior to being selected. Ex: Casey wanted to give baby up for adoption but Cindy would not allow it, Casey and friends would bury deceased pets with heart sticker when young at same spot, Casey was a chronic and manipulative thief, Cindy knew Casey was a Sociopath prior to Caylee's death. The list goes on. Looked at all documents, interviews, statements
6. Google Tracy McLaughlin and listen about Casey.

maybe the heart sticker found 45 feet away from the remains stuck to a piece of cardboard, after they dug the top 10 inches of soil out of the area. was from a pet that was buried there many years ago..if Tracey is to be believed and had such important information, do you not think the state would have used her testimony? after the states pulling out all the stops, why would she be excluded? or anything excluded?

Misty,
The prosecution had to focus their scope of evidence for the trial AND had to fight for every bit of evidence that was allowed in by JP. The defense fought against everything. That's why it took 3 years to finally get to trial. Where the heart shape sticker was located is irrelevent. The fact of the matter is there WAS residue of a heart shape sticker on the duct tape. The CSI would have no reason to lie ! Heart Stickers and Heart symbols were part of Casey's MO. That was evident throughout.... including via Tracey's statements about her interactions with Casey while she was out on bail. Some things are just so blatantly obvious that even a 5yo could make the connection. Unfortunately, the jurors were not privy to a lot of important evidence due to trial rules and restrictions.

Foreman says many believe she killed the kid...had he and others paid better attention, state did say how she died, suffocated with duct tape, ME also ruled homicide. Anyway here are quotes from Fox Atlanta.
"When I had to sign off on the verdicts, the sheet that was given to me, there was a feeling of disgust that came across me, knowing that my signature and hers were going to be there, on the same sheet," said the jury forman.
The jury foreman in the Casey Anthony trial -- who asked not to be identified -- says many of the jurors believe Casey Anthony killed her daughter Caylee.
But because the prosecution never showed how it happened, they were -- by the letter of the law -- forced to rule for acquittal on all murder charges.

wow rs- why didn't you include the article in its entirety?
for those of you who would like to see the ENTIRE article, here it is:
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/national/Jury-Foreman-Talks-About-Casey-Anthony-Trial-20110711-am-sd
a little more of what rs chose to leave out-
The jury foreman also tells Van Susteren Casey wasn't the only Anthony family member that raised an eyebrow of suspicion during the trial.
"Did anyone think George was believable, out of the 12 of you, George was believable or credible or were others likewise suspicious of him," asked Greta Van Susteren.
"There was a suspicion, there was a suspicion of him that was a part of our conversation that we had of what I'd call the round robin of topics we had when we were doing deliberation," said the jury foreman.
RS
9:30 am on Monday, July 11, 2011
They didn't say they believed George killed the kid......from the quotes that are there, those jurors did not follow the law at all. State was NEVER required to prove what was used to kill Caylee, but in spite of that they did offer a paint by number description. This jury could have had a knife found in and among the remains or a gun and still did what they did ignoring the law. Knife or gun among remains is no different than 3 layers of duct tape part of which had melded to jaw....this jury would still have skipped town as fast as they could and excuse makers like you would still be on blogs offering your BS.
Misty
9:45 am on Monday, July 11, 2011
I never saw the state prove anything either! just like a heart shape sticker found 45 ft from the remains stuck on a piece of cardboard...lol..somehow made its way into this fiasco as evidence. Just like the bogus 84 searches for chloroform..in all reality, as net analysis confirmed, was really only "1" and the time stamp off by one lowly little hour, but used that as an excuse to seek out some untried and untrue other software program to show it was supposedly in reverse. Geez...thank God these jurors posses common sense. I heard just as many credible experts testify against the mess the state tried to imply happened..it became an obvious point in this investigation when the state wasn't happy with the normal people and channels they have been using for years regarding evidence and forensics..they kept researching and hunting until they would come up with these far fetched and ridiculous so called experts that would say what the state wanted them to say..non sense..all of it non sense! If they had properly charged Casey Anthony, she would be serving time for her appropriate crime, and all you hate mongers would be back to your lives
RS
9:56 am on Monday, July 11, 2011
Anthony was properly charged by a Grand jury consisting of people called to jury duty. Here is foreman's quote again indicating they believe she killed the kid...so you may wish to address jurors as "hate mongers" ...LOL..

exactly..the state didn't prove their case! they did not do their job properly! period. The law is there for a reason..accept it, the jurors did what they were SUPPOSE to do..followed the law!...had the state charged her appropriately, the jurors could have done something different..this is really not that hard folks! the state dropped the ball...therefore, it ended up in their opponents court, literally. Quit hatin...lol..when you hate, you become what you hate..

Misty, get a clue! The state had limited evidence due to the fact that CASEY threw this baby's body into a swamp and let it rot for close to SIX months! Please tell me how you think it could ever be normal that a MOTHER would go party after her child dies in an accident!!! Unfortunately, the state had to use real things that happened and not just throw out whatever creative lie came into their heads as the defense did. IF you really believe the defense and George was a molester who covered up the accidental drowning of his granddaughter, how can you possibly not convict Casey of child neglect or abuse??? If what the defense said is true, Casey had this baby living with a molester so she wouldn't have to get a job and have her own place to support her own child! Either way, she is a self-centered, monster!

It's amazing how people are talking about the constitution, etc. BUT SHOW NO RESPECT OR REGARD that LAW ENFORCEMENT, FBI, and the STATE OF FLORIDA (all parts of Government) charged the proper person for this crime...CASEY ANTHONY and NO ONE ELSE. Use your heads... if they thought for one minute (and IF there was evidence) George or any other person would ALSO have also been on trial. IT WAS CASEY ANTHONY ON TRIAL FOR THE MURDER OF HER 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. It the jury wasn't sleeping or thinking about their own fame and fortune then JUSTICE would have been served. This jury most certainly was incompetent..... to say the least.

Jennifer already admitted that the jurors barely looked at the forensic evidence.It's obvious with a short deliberation in a case with complicated forensic evidence; They didn't understand and were overwhelmed by it. You have to go through a very tedious process, especially with a CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE CASE; where, you have to put the numerous pieces of evidence, including documents and declarations together.They were either unable as a whole, or very lazy with a major lack of notetaking, which is CRUCIAL!

Without a reason of doubt--HELLO Jennifer ford where the hell did you do with common sense..Justice for Caylee, The new law has 100.000. people sign the Petition. Felony 1 if you do not report your child missing in the first 24 hours... Futher more she was her CARETAKER,CHILD NEGLECT TO ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO DIE BY HANDS OF YOU, Your car smelled of her Decomposed body...yOU BORROWED THE SHOVEL FROM THE NIEGHBOR.. yOU ADMITTED SHE WAS DIED BY YOU ATTORNEYS STATEMENT....@ JOE no way are you a attorney,,you SIT ON YOUR BRAINS,,,,WHAT BRAINS,,???

If a woman were found with duct tape on her skull, double bagged in a swamp and the husband had been saying for 31 days she was with her gal pal named Zany and did not report her missing till forced, and 6 months later they find the lady's skeletal remains up the street from him, this jury would acquit the husband. It would not matter to them the husband lied for 31 days, that he searched for chloroform or that levels were found in his trunk or duct tape accessible to him, his cell phone records put him with the lady last day he said he saw her. The aforementioned, IMO reveals as analogy, just how incompetent this jury was IMO. IMO off the scale incompetent.

If you put yourself in Caylee Marie Anthony's shoes just for 5 minutes do you think she would say the jurors are Incompetent?? I think the jurors are village idiots. When they were being jurors, the village was relieved they were gone. Look who is holding out for more the $50,000.00 for an interview. Look who quit her job to go into hiding...WOW! Look at the juror who has a rap sheet for one of the reason casey was in jail, CHECK FRAUD! The jurors are mad or upset because we think they are Incompetent?? Why is a baby killer being set free? Why did 2 of the jurors want to make it a guilty plea but they were swayed to not guilty? Yes, this makes them Incompetent. I do hope that when Casey is let go on Sunday that all of you watch your kids because if they get in the way of Casey, there is no telling what she will do.
I hope when you go to bed at night, you are able to say that you are proud to be an american and what america stands for. I also hope for all the jerks out there that you would feel safe letting Casey babysit your kids. Until the 17 jurors can prove all but 600 americans wrong, maybe they are Incompetent... so if the soes fit wear it. Oh and if they did not want to be Incompetent, why did they do what they did???
jennie
11:55 pm on Monday, July 11, 2011
i highly doubt ANYONE would let Casey babysit but she IS a 25yr old women that could easily have ANOTHER child of her own.
For the first time in my life I am ashamed at our country and justice system to a point that it makes ME SICK!!! There is no such thing as justice. Not for little Caylee, anyway. Look at the way millions of Americans have embraced this poor baby while her own FAMILY covered up her murder and acted like nothing was wrong!!!!!
jennie
11:49 pm on Monday, July 11, 2011
What I don't understand is HOW these jurors are now coming out, one by one, saying that they are SICK that they had to find her not guilty. That they NEVER said she was innocent!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? THAT is what a jury is FOR!!! obviously, they did NOT understand reasonable doubt. If Casey did not do it, who did then??? And if it WAS an accident, is it OKAY to toss her into a swamp??? This is a total miscarriage of justice and something MUST be done!!! IF I WERE ON THAT JURY, there is NO WAY that I would have voted NOT GUILTY, no matter HOW LONG i had to sit there. There is NO WAY an INNOCENT mother would go and party after her baby died...i don't care what ANYONE says!!! She acted like a care free teenager after Caylee died, accidentally or not. That just shows that she didn't CARE about poor lil Caylee. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!!! EVERYONE knows that this monster is guilty!!! whats it going to take?? Her having ANOTHER child then find that child dead somewhere??? it makes me SICK!!!

I just read the comments for the jury foreman, in hiding of course, he is incompetent, paid no attention to trial content, except what he imagined he heard or did not hear. George said in front of him the car stunk, the tow manager said in front of him the car stunk, Cindy in 911 call said the car stunk, Lee said the car stunk. For him to say nobody except George mentioned it is a LIE, he is a LIAR, and a useless piece of dung to have sat on that jury. Then he has his second excuse ready of even if it did...blah, blah. Well did he not pay attention to defense fighting tooth and nail to deny there had been a body in the trunk, to make it seem like garbage, and who does the defense represent? Spin all you want jurors who keep talking and making themselves look worse, we listened to trial testimony, and we know a BS excuse that includes lies about trial content when we hear one.

For the village idiots that are trying to defend Casey by saying some smelled decomp in the trunk, some didn't smell decomp in the trunk, some had sinus infections, etc, etc... I have two words for you !! CADAVER DOGS.... These dogs have no allegiance to anyone, they are not part of a cover up, and they didn't help get rid of the body. They came and did their job. And two dogs on two separate ocassions with different handlers both hit on Casey's trunk of her car, so spare me your BS stories.
Misty
11:50 pm on Tuesday, July 12, 2011
yeah..the bionic sniffers that smelled something one day..the poof..was gone the next? trainers clearly testified, according to their own testimony, doesn't work that way. And why did the dogs clear the area the remains were found? back in august? the dogs are trained to smell through water, rotting food, and other dead animals..something wrong there. They hit on the trunk after the care had loooong been out of Casey's custody. Too much room for a set up

The jurors did NOT follow the law! They bought the Casey Kool-Aid and just wanted to go home! Where was ANY proof of an accident? Where was ANY proof that Casey was a "victim" of abuse??
Where was ANY evidence that ANYone in her family covered up ANYthing?? WHY MAKE AN ACCIDENT LOOK LIKE A MURDER?????
Bob Rousseau
9:01 pm on Tuesday, July 12, 2011
Incompetent is right. Like he said, he "thought" her family life played a role even though there was no evidence whatsoever for Caycee being abused. This juror fell hook, line, and sinker for Baez fantasy about the baby drowning. It takes intelligence and competence to look at the whole body of evidence and to reach the right verdict, something this jury was unable to do. Probably because of the juror's attitude towards emotions and the feeling and intuitive functions of consciousness. This is the problem in the USA right now; narcissism is epidemic, and people's hearts are hardened and closed. The heart is the seat of the soul and of intuition. Contrary to popular belief, the heart is also the seat of intelligence and morality. Without their hearts engaged, it was impossible for this jury to reach the right verdict. No...I am not abdicating blindly going by feelings and gut instinct...of course cognitive thinking is also important. The jury in the Scott Peterson case sent him to death with not even half as much evidence as was presented in the Anthony case. This jury deserves the judgement it has received.
Misty
11:53 pm on Tuesday, July 12, 2011
was proven Scott Peterson had classic motive...Casey had no motive. The child didn't interfere with her life...she was partying before the child died, and partied after..no changes..no motive. She loved her child witnessed by friends, family, pictures, and videos
Michele
7:27 am on Saturday, July 16, 2011
Casey DID have motive Misty. Although she was partying BEFORE she murdered her child it was because her parents were babysiting. They had informed her they would no longer do so on a regular basis. Casey took Caylee and went to move in with the new boyfriend and a girl friend of hers. No one ever saw Caylee again. Her motive, was similar to the motives of Susan Smith and Diane Downs. She wanted to pursue a particular man and live the single life. As difficult as it is to believe women DO murder for that motive. If you have never heard of Susan Smith who drowned here children please read up on here story. An even more horrifying story is the story of Diane Downs. There is an excellent, sad and shocking book on that one. ALL these women wanted to rid themselves of the kids so they could pursue the single life
Sean Hennessy
12:30 am on Wednesday, July 13, 2011
Yeah, she loved her child so much that she went to blockbuster the same night she went missing and rented two movies. One was about a child being kidnapped and the other was about getting away with a murder. And she loved her so much she entered a hot body contest two nights later.

2:17 am on Wednesday, July 13, 2011
I have read many of the comments posted and can understand that people have different perspectives of the case. The bottom line is that the jury made their verdict and it should be respected. There is the ultimate judge that CA will have to face someday. God is only one that truly knows what happened on that tragic day that Caylee lost her life. If CA is guilty she will face eternity in hell which is far worst than life in prison. I can not even believe that a loving mother would behave as CA did knowing her child was missing. CA is not a normal person though. It is obvious she has mental issues so it should be expected that she would have inappropriate reactions. Nobody should take their anger and frustrations out on the judge, jury, CA's lawyer, or even the prosecutors for not presenting a more solid case. I believe they all did their jobs to the best of their abilities. All we can do now is leave it in God's hands. Beautiful little Caylee is with the Lord, and her murderer will suffer in hell one day.

Misty, once again you post lies. Dogs did not clear area on suburban in august, they were not sent in, the area they were was far further down the road at the school.. And as to sniff one day and not the next, we all watched the trial content, we know CSI cleared surface material in the back yard, that is explanation given by the experts in direct testimony. And state is not required to prove motive at all that was explained to jurors by the judge. And even if they were there was plenty of motive, she claimed she is a spiteful B word as reason won't take cindy to Caylee, and she did want to party at night. If it takes lies to defend your position and you have posted umpteen dozen of them I'd give up your position if i were you.

not posting lies, just not posting distorted and twisted truth as you are. If the dogs hit on the back yard and didn't the next day, your saying because they soil was disturbed? then your disturbed...these dogs were released to sniff the yard, they have these alleged bionic sniffers, I am sure they could have smelled through the same soil a few feet away. The remains area was cleared, per the hoopla surrounding Roy kronk..and not down the street at the school(twist) and also were cleared by the Pensacola dogs brought in per Jordan on the witness stand, you know the witness that had been "threatened" by OCPD? get your facts straight
RS
11:44 am on Wednesday, July 13, 2011
My facts are straight, backyard material was removed per direct testimony..and not repeating what I posted above about suburban whether it relates to OCSO dogs or Jordan's pal...nowhere near the actual site..it is in testimony...you have a habit of posting obvious lies and the problem you have, as do jurors is we all heard what they heard..

Susan Smith strapped her 2 little boys in the back seat and watched them drown --then she admitted she wanted a single life? SOund familiar and she was told she was a GOOD mother (videos,etc). Karen Murphy, Bristow, VA strapped her 2 yr old into mini van and lef them 8hrs and he died (2nd time she left him), she was told she was a good mother. 42 women last year killed their children. We have a narcissistic, sociopath generation of mothers WHO are HOLLOW--they feel nothing for the CHILD and we had 12 jurors who felt nothing for CAYLEE--they focused on Casey not the victim. They are hollow and as guilty for no Justice as the mother. She was mad at her mother and I'll show YOU! She left her in the back seat, parties and duck taped her, gave her chloroform, and she died. The shovel, the lies, the search, she killed her..you don't even have to have a body to prove guilt. DR. G said it was homicide. Juror #11 convinced the others & he made up his mind..I would have stuck to my gut..she did it and these sickos let a child killer go back into society just like they did for OJ when he beheaded his ex and stabbed a 23 year old boy 60 times...they did not care...no matter HOW much evidence...
RS
10:26 am on Saturday, July 16, 2011
Michele, worse for the excuse making jurors IMO is the fact the grief lady said right in front of them she appeared at the Susan Smith trial.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence is as compelling as fact and is allowed in trial and you can convict on it. That's why you heard it. It wasn't for entertainment. If you have no common sence then you should never have served on the jury. Life is not just about book learning... life is about THINKING. Yes you were expected to put the dots together. We can't change anything but as you look back and think about it. Have you ever put a puzzle together and find several pieces are missing yet you can still know what the picture is? Did you fail to look at the whole puzzle before saying "I can't make out what this is". YOU HELD NO ONE ACCOUNTABLE NOT EVEN THAT CHILD WAS IN MOTHERS CARE. YOU DID NOT HAVE TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF DEATH and THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHARGE THAT CARRIED THE DEATH PENALTY. WAS THE MOTHER NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CHILD IN ANY WAY. FORGET THE DEATH, THE LIES, FAMILY LIFE. RESPONSIBLITY. I WOULD NEVER WANT ANY OF YOU TO BABYSIT FOR ME. That is why CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence is allowed in a trial. I wish no harm to you other than for every day you wake, someone stops you and ask "WHY?". WHY?
frank schulte
8:07 am on Friday, July 29, 2011
DEAR JURORS: Lets see. A child is left in the care of her MOTHER. Child dies. MOTHER fails to report child missing MUCH LESS THE DEATH OF THE CHILD. MOTHER lies to everyone to mislead everyone into thinking child is ok. Grandparents find car that was last seen driven by the MOTHER. It stank like death confirmed by grandparents and others. Grandparents report child missing 31 days after last seeing child WITH MOTHER. MOTHER of child still lies as to whereabouts even claiming to have talked to her that day. MOTHER STILL REFUSES TO REPORT CHILD MISSING. MOTHER NEVER DID EVEN TO THIS DAY. Child is found dead and yet MOTHER will not tell anyone as to why or how child died or even WHY SHE NO LONGER HAD CHILD IN HER CARE. IN NO WAY DID YOU HOLD THE MOTHER ACCOUNTABLE. You made the satement that all was "speculation". It's called CIRCUMSTANTIAL. Are you so naive and lack worldly experance that you can not see. There is no man more blind than one who WILL not see. A cause of death was NEVER needed as the COURT WOULD NEVER ALLOWED THE CASE TO GO TO TRIAL.

Hey Jurors,
STOP trying to explain yourselves. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION!!!!!! Try explaining Casey's reasoning for all the lies and you'll come up with if she tells the truth she'll have to admit that she committed murder. OH, now she can't do that, Can she? What happened was-------- A batch of idiots were chosen for this jury---all 12 of you. At least one person should have had enough sense to render a GUILTY verdict on circumstatial evidence. Now live with the fact that you let a murderer go free and I am betting that by now you all see that you made a mistake but you don't have the guts to say it. By the way, the fact that you have no guts is no surprise and that is exactly why Casey Anthony is walking free and no justice was done for little Caylee.
Thanks Idiots---I mean jurors.

If I were to babysit for you while you were on vacation for a month. You get back I do not have your child. I was telling everyone that your child was at the beach with friends. I tell you that I just spoke with your child that day and everything is ok. You the cops and they find I have been lieing to everyone about your child. I wont tell you where your child is nor will I tell you why I do not have your child. SHOULD THE LAW IGNOR THAT I WAS THE LAST SEEN WITH YOUR CHILD.
Later on they find you kid dead dumped in a swamp in garbage bags and duct tape over your childs mouth. They try to get me to explain why the child was dead and/or why the child was not still in my care. I wont tell. SHOULD I BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY OR SHOULD I BE ALLOWED TO GO ABOUT MY BUSINESS NEVER TELLING ANYONE WHY YOUR CHILD DIED WHILE YOUR CHILD SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN MY CARE? You do not want to say that I killed your kid because you don't know. Right? I was the only person known to have your child and I told all those lies about your kid. LET'S SAY I DID NOT KILL YOUR CHILD. COULD I BE CHARGED WITH CHILD NEGLECT SINCE YOUR CHILD WAS IN MY CARE? COULD I BE CHARGED WITH CHILD ENDANGERMENT FOR LETTING YOUR CHILD WALK AROUND IN THAT SWAMP WITH DUCK TAPE OVER HER MOUTH AND GARBAGE BAGS OVER HER HEAD. WHAT THE FXXX. GO AND WE ALL GO HOME. I won't ever tell you what happened to your kid why she was not with me or how she died.SHOULD NO ONE BE RESPONSIBLE? REMEMBER.....it's just your KID.

There's another angle to this. Jurors had to be found who had little knowledge of the case. That means magazine and newspaper "virgins." Those who do not read are dull. Dull people are not popular. Jose Baez made a huge effort to be welcoming and friendly to these folks, always smiling, saying hello with an effusive grin each morning. They bonded with him early and gratefully. For all their skill at assembling a practically airtight case with EIGHT pieces of evidence any two of which would have convicted St. Peter, the prosecutors were serious, unsmiling bright people -- the type this kind of juror dislikes and fears. 'Nough said?

Baez big book reveal is she's whacked in the head. He has the audacity to criticize Detectives of not realizing on July 16th 2008 tht she was "not playing with a full deck." Well, they had a few hours with her and were tying to fina a 34 month old baby girl, He had more than three years, yet never did he think to go the mental health defense, even although his client could potentially be executed. The same Jose Baez was essentially the one who kept her from talking to the cops and for almost a year he was at least publically still calling this a case of stranger abduction. He obviously knows more than the two shrinks he hired who could not find anything wrong with her and who both claimed she did not fit the profile of someone who had been sexually abused. Baez is a charleton who needs a hook for his book.

Pru, you are absolutely right. Baez knew without a doubt that his client was guilty or at least complicit in some way for Caylee's death. BUT HE DIDN'T CARE! He just wanted to win the case so he could have THE BIG ONE on his resume' (like Johnny Cochran in the OJ case). I've never seen such low-life lawyers in my life as Baez and his fellow hacks. Nor have I ever seen such an incompetent jury. How could they not have at least come back with a verdict of negligent manslaughter or felony child abuse? There was plenty of circumstantial evidence for that. It's beyond comprehension! What helps me to live with things like this is my faith in a higher power, who I believe will eventually see to it that justice prevails for people like little Caylee Anthony. Those who are responsible for evil in this world will ultimately be held accountable and pay the price!! (And that includes crooked lawyers).
