so so sad :(

You know, at first I thought there might be a plea, but then I remembered of all of the lies Casey has told and all of the goose-chases there have been. Why on earth would the prosecutors believe anything she would say in order to avoid the death penalty?

Maybe cause the case isn't 100% solid. The fact that the police were notified at least 3 times that Caylee's body was found (although they didnt know it was a body at the time) before they "investigated" isn't good. Plus they really can't prove what exactly happened to Caylee---there isn't any damage to the bones.

The plea bargain might be the only way they'll be able to convict Casey.

Not making a judgment on guilt or innocence, but I think it'd be pretty difficult for her to find a fair and impartial jury at this point...

That's kind of the goal of the police when they leak things to those Nancy Grace types, eh?

I could actually see the defense using that sort of desperate ploy by the state in their closing arguments.

From what I have heard on the local news coupled with some understanding of Florida law, I don't think they could give the death penalty without a body. Now thats not a problem.......This sickens me so much......

They also have to determine if it was pre-meditated.

In a really twisted way, I am glad that the body is Caylee. It was pretty much a given that Caylee was gone and now maybe she can rest in peace.

Also, if it wasn't Caylee, that means it belonged to some other poor child.

There's a theory that Casey's BROTHER is the biological father. Hence the name "Caylee" - his name is Lee.

Too creepy!!!!

If Terry Nichols (one of the OKC bombers) didn't get the death penalty, why should this lady?

Hadn't seen this before - it makes be literally sick to my stomach.

As for the death penalty, after reading how much more it costs law-abiding citizens to sentence someone to death, I'd rather see someone working in a controlled enviroment. Then they can repay the various law enforcement agencies back for what it cost the departments to nail the criminal. If that's cruel and unusual, I couldn't care less.

I'm sorry, I always thought that was a dumb rumor and why people believed it is beyond me. But, they made him take a DNA test and he isn't the father.

*whew*

Umm, because this case is in Florida and not Ok? I don't know much about the Justice System but that'd be my guess.

If the Green River Killer, the most prolific serial killer in our country's history, didn't get the death penalty, why should this lady?

This type of argument could go on and on. But that's what happens when counties and states make this judgment call.

The older I get, the more I don't like the death penalty. I think keeping them locked up in the basically solitary confinement arrangement on death row would be pretty damn awful. Give them three meals a day, whatever books are available at the prison, and that's it.

Oklahoma has one of the highest numbers of death penalties given out per capita of anywhere in the U.S.

My point is that the sentence is pretty final and it's also obviously dealt out in a pretty arbitrary manner. That can't be good.

If convicted, I can see her getting the death penalty.

I am not sure what ranking my state (Florida) is when it comes to the death penalty, but I recall hearing somewhere that we are one of the few states at follows through with it.

However, they tend to let the law-abiding tax payers pay for them to live for 25 years at Starke State Prison before they are put to death.
