Casey Anthony

After 10 hours of deliberation and 33 days of testimony, the jury has just announced the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial.  If you’ve been following the case, you know Casey Anthony did not report her deceased child, Caylee, missing for 31 days.  As CBS reports, “The prosecution claim(ed) Anthony suffocated her daughter with duct tape.  The defense claim(ed) Caylee accidentally drowned.”  The investigation and trial were filled with errors, confusion and lies – just one example: Casey Anthony’s mother claimed that she in fact was the one who was searching online for chloroform, when in reality she was at work while the searches were made on the home computer).

According to CBS, “Casey Anthony is charged with murder in the first-degree, second-degree murder, manslaughter, third-degree felony murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child, aggravated child abuse and four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.”  She was convicted of:

  • All four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
  • Casey Anthony was found NOT GUILTY of first degree murder, found NOT GUILTY of aggravated child abuse and NOT GUILTY of aggravated manslaughter of a child.

Judge Belvin Perry said nothing to Casey Anthony except that she was found not guilty of the first three charges and then sent her away to be fingerprinted.  He did take extra time to thank the jury and explain their privacy rights to them.  Casey Anthony will be sentenced Thursday at 9 am.  Casey Anthony will face no more than 4 years in prison, according to experts from MSNBC.  Casey Anthony’s parents left the courtroom and are not celebrating with her at this time.

so disturbing. shame on those people for finding her not guilty! what kind of person doesn’t report their child missing for 30 days, lies about it to everyone, parties a bunch, and makes up even bigger lies to cover it up? a killer… hopefully she never has another child.

I’m so sickened I have no idea what to say. The worst part is, we all knew this was coming. There wasn’t enough evidence. I was just saying to my mother, people have died in jail as innocents and yet some guilty folks go free. It’s just horrible.

If anyone puts a 50 piece puzzle together but 10 pieces are missing, you can STILL make out the big picture. What the heck is wrong with our judicial system? Those jurors were a joke, as was the defense team. Justice was NOT served. Gut wrenching.

I guess in the days of the MTV’s Jersey Shore show, you can be a drunken party slut and get away with murder.

Ben from Baltimore commented on Jul 05 11 at 2:59 pm

There was definetily not enough evidence to proof that she killed that beautiful and innocent girl but I am sure Casey knows, exactly what happened and she will not say anything. That is the part that sickens me the most. While I would like to know what happened to that little girl I would also love to see the real murderer put in jail. The evidence did not show that Casey did it but it showed that somehow, she knows what happened and she covered for her child’s murderer. That, I cannot stomach.

Justice was not served here this woman deserves to be looked away to see her smiling in the court room made me sick nobody is going to want her to live my them this world is sick

tamara commented on Jul 05 11 at 3:08 pm

kill your kid, thats okay just dont smoke weed or you go to prison. such a joke the judicial system is!!!

BARBARA DEGMAN commented on Jul 05 11 at 3:13 pm

Well, I certainly hope that whole family are happy they got exactly what they wanted. Their poor baby girl was killed and they all did their little part to keep her murderer alive. All I can say is this is something they will have to live with for the rest of their lives.

JulieQ commented on Jul 05 11 at 3:13 pm

First of all I can not believe the verdict. Casey knows what she did, and she will have to live with it for the rest of her life. Karma will come back ten fold on her. This case went on for three years and I watched it everyday of it. She should have been charged with all counts. No one will ever know because she lies so much.

Phyllis Hall commented on Jul 05 11 at 3:17 pm

I believe she killed her daughter and if she didn’t she knows who did. It is too bad now that she has been found not guilty she can never be tried again with another jury. I bet they just wanted to go home and didn’t care about what was going on with her. Just with the little bit of the trial that I watched yesterday on TV, I found her guilty. She did not have a single emotion on her face other than boardism. What a shame that beautiful little girl will not be able to grow up and live her life because of her party whore of a Mother!!!! What a piece of work that one is. No wonder the world is turning to crap, because of people like her and also our judicial system. R.I.P. Caylee Marie. My heart and prayers are out to those that don’t know and care.

Heather from Richmond, VA commented on Jul 05 11 at 3:41 pm

I am still in shock, what is wrong with this Jury? yes there was something missing, but there was way too much evidence proving that Casey knows something, and yet got away with lying about everything … Who does that? Sentencing Thursday, I bet she walks right out of there, getting “Time Served”

Syndi commented on Jul 05 11 at 3:43 pm

I was and still am shocked at this verdict. As everyone has said it is very clear to me. The only thing I hope will come from all of this is that her life will be a living hell from here on out. Aside from those 12 jurors I dont think there is anyone in the world that would say she does not deserve to rot in jail for what she did. So hopefully when Casey Anthony wakes up each morning living her life after she took her daughters she will live in fear. In fear of going outside of going into a store of going to the bar…of living her life because she will know we all know. She will see the looks of disgust from her family former friends and strangers that pass her by. We know what you did you sick and pathetic excuse for a human being let alone a mother.

Sarah commented on Jul 05 11 at 3:48 pm

hopefully they removed all reproductive organs so she does not have the chance at having another child to torture and if not peope should do a petition.should also rally to reavaluate the verdict , i cant beileve they found her not guilty. isnt it fact if it walks like a duck,looks like a duck, etc then thats what it is. she is a child murderer/abuser she is psychotic sick narcisist, who had no guilt nor remorse for her actions i have seen many pictures of her laughing, giggling while in court any other mothers i have seen while in court are crying there eyes out , so emotional and remorsefull at what they did not this sick bi#@h what has the world come to when we coddle the criminals,advocate for them and give them rights and a chance at harming more victims. we allow pedophiles to have rights and form there own organizations, we allow rapists out in less then a few years to rape again, we allow murderers a few years in jail , Who is going to miss these people? i sure as hell wouldnt why let them live to ruin more lives why not just lock them up or execute them why why why let them commit more attrocitys i just dont understand this bull crap. world would be a safer, better place if we just build back up alcatraz and ellis island and locked up these sick discusting excuses for human beings instead of mixing them with low crime criminals like thieves and embezalars.i hate to think of the future of the humane race where justice is not justice anymore. where we stop with the justice system and courts and jails and do nothing to prevent crimes happening and allow the unjust to harm the just out of “moral” and “rights” they lost there rights the minute they commited there acts of wrong. whats the point of jails,courts, jugdes and jurys if there is no justice served. sick sad world.

Murderer

Susie commented on Jul 05 11 at 4:16 pm

I’ve been watching the Casey Anthony Murder Trial since it all happened. I was Shocked when the Judge read the Verdict, How TERRIBLE! Casey out of all people knows she done it, and Poor Sweet Caylee and the man above knows that shes the one who Murder that Sweet Baby. You Have evidence pointing to her, that shes the one who committed the murder. That Baby was found 15 houses down from where Ms.Casey laid her head at night. Had the nerve to report her missing after 31 days, and didnt show no sympanthy. Her Body was eaten by animals, and laying dead in flood waters, deteriating with nothing but Bones left. You had the Drug in your truck, as well as the smell of death but yet the jury still found you NOT GUILTY. Cases like this makes me wanna be in the Justice System. Those jurors, which have been charged with DUI, Possesion of Marjiuana, etc shouldn’t have been the ones deciding her fate. This Case right here proves that our Justice system is TOTALLY SCREWED UP! Casey Marie Anthony doesn’t deserve to LIVE, BREATHE or anything!!!!!!!!! Poor Caylee is Gone forever!!!!!!!!!!!!! She will always remain in My heart even though I didn’t know her. A Person like Casey shouldn’t be a mother, or anything. She knows what she did and didnt show any kind of emotion about her Daughter, only when they were talking about HER. Our Justice System might have found her NOT GUILTY, but the Man Above makes all the Choices and Casey will get hers. Karma is a B***H, and When It comes to her life, GOD is in CONTROL not the Courts! She Will answer for what she has done, and let it be known that this will haunt her FOREVERRRR!

I Love You Caylee & You will always be in My Heart & Prayers!
You Remind me of My Nieces, So sweet & Humble and full of Life ! But You Can’t Live life because Casey Marie Anthony! You’re in a Better Place now Sweetie and You Couldnt ask for More.! R.I.P Cayleeeeee ! <3

There wasn’t evidnce to support 100 percent she did it. Yes we can conclude MAYBE she did it…and if not she probably knows and is covering for who DID do it buuut our judicial system is not based on the what ifs…the jury had nothing to do with this outcome they are sworn to be 100 percent sure of a persons guilt … Innocent until proven guilty..the simple case is they did not have enough evidence to prosecute. Sad…yes it is VERY ..makes your stomach turn that the mother seemingly got away or le someone else get away with murdering a precious innocent child…yes BUT this happens every single day all around the world. Maybe if people took as much exception to every case as they do this one we could somehow put an end or at least a slow down to these numbers

AM commented on Jul 05 11 at 6:58 pm

Everyone seems so angry over this verdict and how justice wasn’t severed but millions of babies have been killed through abortion and it’s still legal. My heart breaks for little Kaylee and all of the babies who have been killed.
