Think you could ever get away with murder?

[Jesda]

Let's be honest. Casey did it. She didn't get convicted, but she did it.

[Unless it was Colonel Mustard with the rope in the billiard room.]

You could talk about karma all you want if it makes you feel better, but she has a long ways to go before she dies and gets reborn as a grasshopper.

At least she isn't on the public tit, though. That's the thing that sucks about inmates on death row. They can be there for YEARS before they get the needle and the tax payers have to pay for their care until it's time to kill them.

Meh, it's whatever. The case is over. She can't be tried again. Hopefully there will be a new celebrity f*** up in the next couple of days and the public will forget all about her.

She can't go ANYWHERE. Think about it... every mom that's ever lost a child, every bored housewife who pulled her hair when the verdict was read, every guy who's been wrongly accused of molestation - They're ALL gonna be looking to smack the piss out of her.

AND, if she ever goes on a date, she's gonna wonder if she's gonna wind up duct-taped in the trunk of a Pontiac Sunfire.

Yeah - she's not "getting away" with anything. She's screwed.

[dre1507]

Greg, where's Jesda and ducky? lol.

[Jesda]

She seems ballsy enough to show up at Chuck E Cheese tomorrow.
She'll probably put an ad in the paper offering babysitting services.
I bet she'll write a song about it and release an album.
Maybe a tell-all book.
Playboy will offer her a hundred grand to pose nude [she already has implants].
Sex tape?
How long until she goes on VH1's Celebrity Rehab?








Ahh, America. This place sucks sometimes.

[alms24sebring]

p.s. Amazed at all the nitwits freaking out, raging against the jury, panicking and carrying on... they act like they know something the jury didn't. Quit watching TV and go take care of your own kids and STFU.

Great post. Very true.

My mom was outraged when they read the verdict. She was so pissed and screaming at the TV. But, she "knew" she did it before the case even started.

I ALWAYS look at it neutrally. No matter what any situation unless I saw it myself, I always listen to both sides and make a decision from there.

A few things that stood out to me in the short time I payed attention to it. One being the 30 days of dead baby in a trunk before she even said anything. Like hmmm, I sware there is something Im missing. Another being how she changed her story so many times. I dont think she was meant to be a mother so that gives me doubt since I have seen that in my personal life. And finally F**K Nancy Grace and that other stupid C***BAG!!!! God I HATE both of them. They're so stupid and it just pisses me off just listening to them making false accusations and name calling without looking at the bigger picture of what is going on. They're the ones that deserve to die by a feiry horrible slow and painful death! /rant

I can see all of this happening. I for one vote for a sextape..

The system surely worked as it did with Lorena Bobbit, when prosecutors having the evidence -kinfe and John's d!ck- lost the case when the the jurors sentenced Lorena as non-guilty.

Now, very soon she will be free to meet and date single parent men to seriously make a family in the future.

[AppleBonker]

Most people aren't smart enough to understand why she wasn't convicted.

Thank God those people are also not smart enough to become judges.

The system worked, whether you like it or not.

This. Exactly this.

Though, maybe she'll get busted in the future when she tries to steal back some of her sports memorabilia...

Anyway, I'm with Jesda. She probably did do it (accidentally or intentionally). But, "probably" and "beyond all reasonable doubt" are not synonymous. The prosecution tried the case without enough evidence. It was a gamble, and they lost.

[jsuzgzfst]

The prosecution should have pursued manslaughter on the theory that she accidentally killed her kid and then freaked out and hid the body.

There's justifiable outrage regardless of whether the system worked. A mom killed her kid.

Outrage at the jury, not so much.

Good point, I agree w/ya. And would like to add, though she may have been let off the hook, and got away with murder. I believe that one day we will all give an account of the things we have done. She will have to give an account of her actions then. All things will be made right.

Yes, the case against her was largely circumstantial, as are most murder cases. Rarely are there smoking guns, eyewitnesses, and video. Timothy McVeigh was convicted and sentenced to death for the OK City bombing based mostly on circumstantial evidence. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" is clearly a higher standard than a civil court's "preponderance of guilt", but the interpretation of reasonable doubt can vary greatly between juries. Look at the OJ jury. They actually had DNA evidence yet still voted not guilty due to reasonable doubt.

Whether it was murder or an accident followed by a coverup should have simply have determined the severity of the charges (of which the jury had options) I was surprised that this jury seemed to dismiss her not reporting the toddler missing for a entire month and then calmly lying about the babysitter that didn't exist. The defense never offered up an explanation. What parent wouldn't be freaking out immediately if their toddler went missing? That's huge in my book. There is no reasonable doubt in my mind she was involved in her child's death, perhaps not to the level murder one, but perhaps involuntary manslaughter, or conspiracy. A couple of misdemeanors for lying to the police is not exactly what I would call justice served.

[joe603]

I had a feeling from the beginning that this would happen. Cases like this are more about how the prosecution deals with all the circumstantial evidence than the defense. While I haven't followed the case as close as others, I never heard anything concrete. Did they every mention the baby's real father? Could it be possible that he killed her? Casey could have been threatened...just don't know. I find it hard to accept that she drove around with a dead baby in the trunk for a month. I also find it hard to believe that they tried to cover up the death if the baby drowned. Just doesn't make sense really.

As for Casey, I'm waiting for the book/movie/mini-series. She will probably be set for life.

Oh, and I agree with the statement someone made about Nancy Grace. I HATE that lady. No such thing as a "balanced or neutral" in today's media. She labeled "tot mom" from the beginning.

It reminded me of the Chappel's show skit of the black white supremacist...I thought her head was going to explode when they read the verdict!

[AppleBonker]

Exactly this. As far as I can tell, she was tried for felony murder and aggravated manslaughter. While I don't personally have any doubts that she was involved with the coverup, I don't know that there was enough evidence to convict on either the murder or manslaughter charges. It easily could've been an accident followed by a coverup, which would make her innocent of both of these charges. That would lead to a not-guilty verdict in this case. There was at least enough doubt to push the jury that way.

Did they every mention the baby's real father?

They couldn't determine the child's biological father. Another unknown in this case.

[frapjap]

What the hell is a "tot mom?"

BONNNNNNNG! Shes a slut.

It's going well so far .....
