Nothing but circumstantial evidence. No surprise.
I'm in SC and all my in laws are obsessing over this. I was kind of thinking, "who cares?".... I dunno.
I wonder if as a society we make so many excuses for everyone. Is there really a situation where you can be 100% certain of anything?

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I've not been following this case at all, except for it being forced upon me by CNN and FOX (either of which is on the TV in our cafeteria) at lunch time. I didn't see anywhere in the coverage that they had solid evidence.
Aside from that I don't really care. The verdict doesn't affect me in any way. I don't know why this is such big news that apparently the whole country needs to be made aware of every detail minute by minute. Of course I didn't pay any attention to the OJ trial either.

a little girl died a murderer is loose and the system failed - end of story.
The jury system is not a perfect system because there is no way to determine IF in fact there is EVER a jury of one's PEERS . Too many ways for people to game the system IMHO

Internet searches for chloroform and neck breaking.
Same duct tape in house found on skull.
Chloroform found in car.
Decomposing body chemicals found in car.
circumstantial?

I was internet searching how to make crystal meth the other day. That doesn't make me a criminal. It doesn't mean that if somebody across town is busted with cristal meth, that the police should get a warrant to see if I'm running a meth lab because I buy Claritin-D with pseudophedrene in it.
The traces of decomposing human remains in the car is the one that seals it for me. Just seems to me a murderer is free right now due to lousy prosecution.

So, how many psuedophedrene pills does it take? Is it like 5 boxes, so registering people may actually indicate who is making meth, or is it like 500, which means registering for a single box is really just a major PITA and makers just find other ways to get it?
Oh yeah, Casey Anthony- haven't followedthe case at all, and have only been vaguely aware of it recently becasue I've been checking Google news more frequently than usual, btu I'm surprised at the outcome. I'm sure Nancy Grace has something calm and rational to say about it.

i find it hard ( as in too much work and i don't really care) to separate what i heard on tv over the 3 years vs. what was put in front of the jury. i'm also too ignorant to understand the subtle differences in Murder 1, 2, aggravated child abuse and manslaughter.... but i'll say i'm sure, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the woman responsible for the death of her daughter got off today. i don't think she intended to end the life of her daughter but she certainly caused it.
her actions in the days following the disappearance of her kid speak volumes to me. hot body contest and a tattoo "beautiful life" while she was searching for her kid? really?

Wow, Warp! Tell us how you really feel!!! :beer:
I didn't follow this trial AT ALL. Though I will admit that since it bumped to the top of the news feeds so often, I often read the first sentence or two of the lead in blurb. I do remember reading what gmcunni mentioned about her behaviors following her kid going missing. That is pretty damning in our minds but for better or worse (better for the USA worse for this particular instance), our legal system demand guilty beyond a reasonable doubt with more evidence than just circumstantial. Although extremely unlikely and hard to believe, stress could drive someone to behalf weirdly after tragic instances. Do I believe that happened in this case? No. But we can't bend the rules just because something "looks really bad" but the evidence is not there.
When OJ happened, I was dumb struck and couldn't believe he got off. I look back on it now and I am glad he did. I think it is more important to risk a criminal going free than risk having an innocent behind bars. It is one of the cornerstones of this country that makes it great. I'd rather take my chances with a few murderers on the loose than take my chance with the state wronging convicting me.

the prosecutor tried to go for murder one, sounds like the jury had reasonable doubt and didn't go for the premeditation-- warp said it all!!

No evidense to directly link her to the death. Had to be that descion. Even though it is not the right one.

I did not follow this trial, so I have no comment. Generally speaking though, our legal system absolutely can't be putting innocent people behind bars. I have always said that I would rather see 10 guilty people set free than see one innocent person be wrongly convicted.
