Casey Anthony is Guilty. There is no doubt in MY mind that she murdered her sweet little daughter. I believe the evidence: chloroform was found in the trunk of her car; her car smelled of human decay. She had searched chloroform on the internet 80+ times. What does "reasonable doubt" mean in the minds of the Casey Anthony jury members? Does it mean "smoking gun"?
One of the jurors during jury selection said that she didn't like to "judge people", especially when people are saying "bad things" about them. Wow. That should have been an automatic strike. Incapable to leveling a penalty.
The most damning evidence for me was Casey Anthony's own behavior, her lies to cover up her daughter's absence, her partying during a period of time when any loving mother would have been beside herself with fright and terror to find her daughter, her disgusting tattoo: "Bella Vita" (the good life) that she received while her daughter was missing. How could any loving mother do these things if she genuinely thought her daughter was missing, and CARED at all about her?
At the very minimum, Casey should have been convicted of one of the lesser charges, even child abuse. She alone held culpability for the care and welfare of her daughter.
How can a mother do the things that Casey did and there not be any way to hold her accountable for the DEATH of her daughter???
Some of the news people are saying the prosecution overcharged, that they should have charged her with negligent child abuse homicide and focused their case on that. I for one would have been satisfied with that.
It is hard to understand how a mother could kill her own child, how Casey could have constructed such a narcissistic, self-absorbed world in her own mind that she could dispose of her little daughter and run out and get a tattoo declaring to the world that she is living the "good life". It is equally hard to understand how a jury could overlook all of that and give her a slap on the wrist.
That woman is guilty and regardless of the verdict, she is still guilty. Even though she was not convicted in a court of law, she is culpable for her daughter's death.

Sorry, But I have to disagree. Our Justice System is set up not to punish the guilty but to try and ensure that the innocent are not punished. That's why they are to only return a guilty verdict if they are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. IF there is ANY doubt, it's a jury's duty to come back with an innocent verdict, which is what they did. I would rather see 10 guilty persons free, than one innocent one sitting in prison. This IS our justice system working the way it's meant to! It would only have been injustice had this jury allowed popular opinion or medial spins to alter their feelings and verdict, which they did not.
I'm glad the jury did not follow public opinion. The jury had a responsibility to make its own determination and it did. An alternate spoke today and said that he was not persuaded by the prosecution's case. He said that the prosecution did not prove how Caylee died, and he felt it was a "horrific accident" that was "blown out of proportion". I don't accept that; there was NO EVIDENCE for that at all. But if there was insufficient evidence proving Casey killed Caylee, then the jury cannot convict. However, I still believe that finding her remains in a black trash bag and with duct tape proves to me that it was no accident. Dumping her remains in the swamp is not an act of love.
I have immense grief over the loss of that little child, and I am sure part of that sorrow is due to the fact that her own mother did not give a damn, but rather celebrated her freedom.
I feel that it is a miscarriage of justice because SOMETHING miscarried along the way, whether it was an overcharging on the part of the prosecutor, the failure of the police to respond appropriately and early enough to the discovery of the remains so that the evidence would not have been lost with time, or whatever. The miscarriage is that the truth is still lost amidst lies and Casey will walk and feel that SHE was unjustly jailed for the last several years, that HER life was violated, that SHE was the victim of this entire event, rather than her DAUGHTER. That is the miscarriage of justice. The jury may have done what it was designed to do, but that does not mean the system worked the way it should. An innocent person was not vindicated with that verdict. That is the sadness of it all.
