Casey Anthony's murder trial

[pomtzu]

Honestly, what's done is done. The verdict is in and cannot be changed.

Either way, she's screwed for life, I think. I feel like she will never be safe, wherever she goes. She broke up her whole family over this, as crazy as they seemed before all this, imagine how they are now. I think that's what pains me the most. Not only did she ruin poor Caylee's life with either her selfishness or her stupidity, she also ruined her family.

Exactly! A whole family left in ruins. Don't know how true it is, since I heard it reported on HLN last night, but Cindy and George are getting death threats. I can't even listen to any of it anymore - it actually makes me nauseous. I really couldn't even sleep well last night - kept waking up with this mess on my mind.
What a horrible miscarriage of justice - IMO. One can smack their kid on the rear and maybe leave a little mark, and end up in jail for it, and Casey can kill her daughter (most likely) and walk away from the charge, scot free. Unbelievable..........

Her life and the life of her parents will NEVER be the same. I can bet they'll have to go "under cover".

Suppose the child's death WAS an accident, either by Casey's hand or in the swimming pool. What and why did she do what she did with the child's body? Are there no charges for disposing of a body like was done with Caylee? They probably can't prove who disposed of the body. Yikes. Sounds like the detectives need a brush up course in investigations. I think the police fell really short, especially when not investigating the finding of the body in August.

Oh well, let this be a lesson to all of us. She got off with spending three years in jail.

I just heard that she has told someone (???) that the first thing she wants to do is to have another baby.

I hope the child welfare folks watch her like a hawk.

It's over, let's get back to sleep at nights. I, too, didn't sleep well last night. Kept thinking about Caylee etc. I didn't even follow the case that closely. Some people ate, slept and drank it.

Life goes on for all of us. We're lucky.

The morning newscaster referred to a letter she wrote about a year ago saying that if she gets out of jail, the first thing she's going to do is get pregnant and have another baby. WONDERFUL.

I think there's a really good case to be made for sterilizing some people.

By the way, who is Caylee's father, or is that known? And where has he been through all of this?

By the way, who is Caylee's father, or is that known? And where has he been through all of this?

The father is unknown. She claims that he died in an accident but he was never proven to be the father. Given how she lies, who could believe her anyhow?

Her life won't be worth a plug nickel after all of this. Where is she going to go? Back to her parents? How could they possibly want her back after what has transpired? And if they did want her back, how could they possibly live together? Who is going to hire her and what job skills does she have anyhow? She'll need a bodyguard for a loooong time and her life won't be her own. She'll never really be "free" just as OJ wasn't really free before his most recent conviction and prison sentence.

Maybe it's just all in my mind but I think we haven't heard the last of this case. There's just too much drama and too many unanswered questions. Perhaps George will spring a leak, I don't know. One thing is for certain, though: Caylee has learned that her incredible talent for lies has paid off and has indeed saved her life so there is no reason for her to ever stop. How anyone would ever be able to trust her again is beyond me.

Who is going to hire her and what job skills does she have anyhow? .

She won't have to worry about that after she sells the book and movie rights and makes a FORTUNE off of that. then she can afford to never get a job and have a body guard to follow her around.

Still better than being dead and thrown out like yesterdays trash in a garbage bag

One law expert acknowledged that a "dry bones" case is a real bear to prove. IMO, the only tougher one is a murder with no body. I've heard of only one of these being successful, in New York. However, she's been convicted in "the court of public opinion" and regardless of the legal status, much like OJ, she will not be accepted. She engaged in some dodgy behavior for sure; but the jury is not permitted to solely use that as a basis for conviction. Without cause or time of death, proving murder is very difficult.

Maybe she'll make big $$$ - maybe not. She might sell her story, pics, write a book, etc, but as much as she is hated by the majority of people, I rather doubt that the profits will be very high. Maybe the people that like train wrecks will buy into it, but I wouldn't give a plug nickle to read about anything she has to say. And watch a movie??? - definitely not. I've seen enough.

In a sense, she is a prisoner and will be for the rest of her life. She won't be confined to a cell and be confined by bars, but she will be forced to live a very secluded and lonely life - IMO. I doubt her family will welcome her back with open arms and she has no friends - so what does she have??? She destroyed herself and her daughter and her entire family, so let her live with what she has done. I have not one ounce of sympathy for her, and whatever hardships she encounters in the future, then let her deal with them - ALONE!!!!

Forget about rights. Caylee's have been taken away from her. The right to have children should be taken away from Casey. It is tube tying time for her.
