Casey Anthony Trial

I don't consider any of this common sense. It may be emotion and assumption but not common sense. And thank God the law is not (solely) based on what some consider common sense.

I suppose I didn't make clear that I DO understand the difference between innocent and "not guilty". I understand, and agree with the jury's verdict. There was not enough evidence to convict. That doesn't mean I don't think the bitch did it.

A liar does not a murderer make in an American court of law. My point is that if you are innocent of a crime, you know the truth will save you, and therefore, you tell the truth. That sounds like common sense to me.

She's just lucky it took investigators 6 months to find the body, or else there'd probably be some pretty damning physical evidence.

Cool.

I still don't consider any of this common sense.

ETA: I did see where you said you're glad you live in a country where people are innocent until proven guilty.

LOL The truth has sent many a man to jail. Sorry maybe I was born into a cynical race so truth in a court of law has never done a lot of the people I've known any good.

Court cases have convicted people on bodies that have been found 3, 5 and 10 years later so I can't agree with you on that one.

But in the grand scheme I understand where your thoughts are coming from so hey.

Is that cynical race the human race?

Like I said, I understand where she is coming from. Everybody that is having an emotional issue has yet to bring facts to the table.

I mean even Nancy Grace was more focused on her being a bad mother and who is Caylee's father (like not knowing who the father is somehow punishes Casey) than actually quoting the facts that the jury possibly overlooked.

Why? Because she didn't have facts that the jury had.

I had a sales rep today start in on "Shame about that verdict yesterday..." When I agreed that "Yes, it was a shame that the prosecution didn't meet their burden of proof and the jury had to follow the law.", he changed his tune pretty quickly.

I had the same kneejerk reaction many did; she's probably guilty and it's terrible that she may be getting away woth murder. However, after hearing all the doubt that the media had done a pretty good job of hiding, I have to agree that the proof just wasn't there. That only leaves one thing to say: KARMA'S A BITCH.
