People need to express themselves and these feelings probably reflect what a lot of people feel. Still, our system of justice, with a beyond a reasonable doubt standard, is the best on earth. Sometimes guilty people get off, but that is the price for assuring that innocent people are not convicted

Fact: I blame it on Obama!

Bingo Valkyrie….it still is the best system in the world!

Guilty people walk out of court on a daily basis and Innocent people also go to jail on a daily basis.

Neither one is good, but I damn sure would rather live here and be judged by our courts then most around the world.

Who can bear to watch the video of pompous, arrogant, vindictive Belvin Perry, with his eye on the next election and his TV ratings, inflict additional torment on Casey Anthony by imposing gratuitous jail time on her, when, by every moral & legal standard, and in the name of common decency & chivalry, she should hve been released on July 7? Hannity & his crew seem to understand: If the evidence doesn’t fit, then you must acquit.

OJ Jury no longer the DUMBEST 12 people ever assembled together in one room!
We have a new standard.

Wait a minute, Hannity and I agree on something? Now might be a good time to play the lottery

The simple truth is that the prosecution in no, way, shape, or form, came close to proving first degree murder

1. No cause of death, only speculation

2. No motive, again only speculation

3. No conclusive Evidence of premeditation

4. A person being a b**ch does not make them a murderer under the legal system

5. Emotions are irrelevant, they have no place in the law

6. The prosecution must prove the defendants guilt, it is not the job of the defense to prove innocence

7. The murder of a child is horrible but doesn’t change the system. deal with it, if you want outrage than get made at the prosecution that failed to persuade any of the jurors that the defendant was guilty of murder

Yep.

The best part of the argument was Ms.Guilfoyle telling Hannity to shut up and learn something. Although, Ms.Guilfoyle’s argument lacked the necessary facts required to find someone guilty of murder, she was very forceful in her argument. I pity the poor boy-friend, or husband who challenges her!

Ms Guilfoyle would convict you for J walking and sentence you to death.

Casey Anthony is so hot.
She really should be on another reality show.
Maybe “the Bachelor.”

Think I’ll “friend” her on FaceBook.

But they were willing to buy into her story of molestation and the drowning theory even though they knew she was proven to be a pathological liar. How can they convict her on 4 counts of lying but believe her stories with no other shred of proof other than her word?

This is perhaps the only intellectual debate of the Casey Anthony trial that I saw on air, all others were based on personal opinion and the run for TV ratings

The system is broken. I am a medical doctor. Imagine if I had to discuss every clinical decision that could save someone’s life with 12 laypeople chosen as “peers” of the patient to decide if I can treat the patient or not. Imagine that there was a “medical judge” that had an hour to explain to that “jury” the risks and benefits associated with my clinical decision and the clinical reasoning behind it. Clinical training that took me more than ten years. And then the “Judge” asks them to make the decision based on what they heard for an hour. It would be HORRIBLE!!!

With a similar reasoning, I believe that the “jury” should be composed of people trained in the law and justice system. Maybe lawyers or judges, just like the Supreme Court.

I just saw an interview with Jennifer Ford (juror #3) and she is one of the dumbest people I have heard. She can’t even explain how they made the decision to acquit. She definitely did not understand the evidence and the law. The jury argues that the prosecution could not proof that Caley did not die from an accident. Does it really matter? Ok, so even if it was an accident… Casey’s act should have at least gotten her a guilty verdict on the 3rd charge of manslaughter. The fact that admitting that Caley was missing took her 31 days and was only driven by her mom’s concern, is enough for someone who is smart to convict her for manslaughter. Casey had the responsibility of taking care of her daughter. Just for that reason she should have been held responsible for her death, even in the case of an accident. You don’t need the prosecution to show how Caley died. The prosecution showed motive… and Casey herself prove motive. She lived the good life after Caley “dissapeared”. The mom screamed in the 911 call “THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG!”.

Let’s say that Caley had been kidnapped and kept alive for 30 days. The fact that Casey did not report her disappearance two minutes after it happen like any normal parent should be enough to convict her of manslaughter. 31 days later… If Caley had been alive for any amount of time after her disappearance, any sort of rescue for Caley would have been foiled. Bang… Caley murdered on day 29 of her disappearance… Who commited manslaugher for endangering her daughter life and leading to her death? CASEY.

There are also comments from people who were present in court who describe that some of the jurors were not paying attention, and some even were drawing triangles and circles in their notebooks.

Yes, I think a “jury of peers” in this day and age of CSI mentality does not work. The prosecution should not have even needed a body in this case. But they did… and it was a skeleton inside two bags with tape around the mouth. A mother that did not ever said “I miss my daughter”, a mother that never grieved, a mother that lied until she was caught in her lies.. A car that by pure coincidence smell like death about the same time that Caley died. Had her mom called 911 in the past for the smell of death on Casey’s car… no… How can Casey not be held responsible.

The jury did not understand the evidence. The jury forgot the motive. The jury did not understand the law. The jury did not understand… If they had understood and cared, they would have taken a longer look at the evidence. The jury of peers does not WORK.

Now… I have worked more than 100 hours this week… I can’t even read… hopefully what I wrote makes some sense.

A lot of people were surprised by the verdict I can only imagine what attorney’s through when they say this
http://alturl.com/3hckq

What we are talking about here is jury failure, i.e., coming up with the wrong verdict. What everyone has to realize is that “the other” failed verdict is convicting an innocent person. THAT is what the system is designed to protect.

If you want to “tune” the rules to get more guilty verdicts, then you have to say just how many wrongful convictions will be “acceptable” to get a good distribution. I’m not sure that is a good debate.

Frances Martel was remiss IMO by not including a link to the contentious debate from the previous night.

Here it is for those who are interested.

It just seems to me as I listened to the debate, gee I wonder what was said in the previous night that caused Sean Hannity to allude to the fact it got really heated.

Correction:
The link in my post mistakenly takes you to this article.

I was mislead by the title “Hannity Panel Explodes Over Verdict” that came up in my Google search.

I can’t find a video clip of that segment of Hannity’s July 7th show anywhere.

Bummer… sure wish Frances would have posted it yesterday.

Lars,

As much as I detest Casey and would have probably voted guilty on at least one of the three felonies, I find myself agreeing with your comments about Belvin Perry.

Sad to say (b/c I generally liked the judge) I think his ruling was vindictive and over the top to appease the outraged voters in Orange County.

Casey is was found innocent, get over it! Life goes on. Hopefully the truth will come out soon.

I would like to express my disappointment in the verdict of casey anthony  i believe the judiciary system have fail one more child its so sad because of the technology we have today.i believe the state should appeal this case because justice was no serve and we live where DNA can prove almost anything.my question is where is the child father and what is he doing an saying about the verdict.
