Casey Anthony's murder trial

[sparks19]

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!!!!

You may be right, Ellie. OJ didn't get very far w/his book but he had his football pension to fall back on and a lot of possessions and property he could sell. She has none of those things. As for friends, she'll make new ones. There are always those people who want to glom onto someone notorious even if it's for suspected murder. They won't be real friends in the true sense of the word but I doubt she'll be lonely. She doesn't really care about people anyhow. She'll get what she can and then dump them and move on to someone else. She proved that her friends were only there for her use when she stole checks from a good friend. After her sentencing tomorrow, I hope to not hear anything about her.

Oh I think you'd be surprised how many people would by into the books and movies to get the "inside scoop"

Look at Scott Peterson. After he was convicted women were camping outside of the jail pining away for him

never underestimate the sick sense of curiousity people can have.

Look at Karla Homolka, she went to jail along with paul for torturing and raping multiple women including her own sister and now she's out with a degree in psychology and lived in Quebec and now she's moved to somewhere out of the country where no one knows her story with a new husband and a new baby. isn't life grand?

yeah I'm not confident that Casey is going to face much hardship beyond the next 5-10 years... after that... people will forget.
