Casey Anthony VERDICT

[Holy-Sonic]

So what are your thoughts of the Casey Anthony verdict; to me this verdict is like the OJ Simpson trial, the evidence is there.

My thoughts? That finally this bullshit is over and the media can get back to discussing REAL news like how many drinks Lindsay Lohan had last night or what dress Kate Middleton is wearing... you know: REAL HARD news that affect our daily lives.

Evidence was all circumstantial. Could have gone both ways. Her own mother lied under oath about the web searches which supposedly was the "big thing". She's now facing charges of purgery. Police did a shitty job in gathering evidence, and the Florida DA's office looks like a bunch of amateurs. The DA's office looks like a bunch of schmucks considering they literally fell for the mother's testimony and truth be told, this is what happens when a big case goes global calling for blood. Shoddy craptastic evidence. Another OJ goes free.

This is right on the money.

The fact that it was being covered by every media outlet possible put overwhelming pressure on the jury. That's all I really care about. Cases like this go in favor of the truly guilty all the time and it's never covered by the media.

How often does this society freak out if an innocent person is put in jail? Not as often and definitely not on this large of a scale.

It's the blood lust for the potential guilty that drives the media in to a frenzy. People want revenge for shit that doesn't involve them.

Personal opinions aside, it went as expected based on actual evidence submitted. The evidence is not there. There is no hard link.

Do I personally believe she did it? Of coarse.

Lets look at this hypothetically. If I left my 2 1/2 years old son alone in the bathroom and he drowned. What would/should happen to me. 1.) Spend time in jail for child neglect.(5-10 years) 2.) Be charged with negligent manslaughter. (10-20 years on top of the neglect) 3.) Stay in jail until court, then be set free. Keep in mind this is me coming clean and admitting that I left my toddler alone.

I would say atleast 5-10 years because I was responsible for the childs life and now it is gone. She serverd 2 waiting until court. The found her innocent of child neglect....... WTF
