So if anyone is upset with any of my posts - oh well - get over it. No one was forced to read or post anything here.

Please note that I did not say that anyone here did anything inappropriate nor did I point you out specifically as stressing to the point of ulcer (that statement is the only reason I'm replying in the first place because I think I may be the only one who referred to that). I read no posts on this thread except a few of the most recent (maybe four or five). I saw that someone felt the way I did about it and responded. In fact, I only opened it one other time besides today, when it was first started, so I certainly wasn't upset by anyone's posts.

whether anyone thinks it's worth my while or not.... people who hurt children and get away with it will ALWAYS make me very angry. I odn't know if that person is Casey or not but someone did this and no I don't know them but it does affect me. It breaks my heart that these innocent beautiful babies have to suffer at the hands of people who should KNOW BETTER.

I was just wondering. If at any time Casey let's it slip (drinking, drugs, mouthing off..whatever) about the circumstances of Caylee's death, can she be rearrested or is that double jeopardy and she can't be tried twice for the same crime?

(Reuters) - A juror in the Casey Anthony case said on Wednesday that jurors cried and felt sick after deciding to acquit the young Florida mother of murder, a verdict that dropped jaws across the country.

"I did not say she was innocent," juror Jennifer Ford told ABC News. "I just said there was not enough evidence."

"If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be," the 32-year-old nursing student said.

All 12 jurors who found Casey, 25, not guilty of first-degree murder and other felony charges stemming from the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee declined to comment to the media immediately after the verdict. Ford said they were emotional and not ready to speak.

"It was because we were sick to our stomach to get that verdict," she said of the jurors who had been sequestered in a hotel for the duration of the trial because of the intense media coverage. "We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial."

She could confess while sober and nothing could happen to her legally.

My understanding - only if they could come up with another charge.

That's why when someone goes to trial who has murdered many victims, they are usually only charged with one or two initially. The prosecutors keep the rest in the background for just that reason.

The circumstances of Caylee's death will probably never be known. I have the feeling that her death was probably an accident, whether by drowning or cloraform
overdose. I can imagine Casey or someone else covering it up by making it look like a murder. I just got through looking at a montage of 60 photos of Casey and Caylee together, and I find it hard to believe that Casey would or could kill her on purpose. All I see is love for Caylee. I find it hard to agree with murder 1 based on a motive of she wanted her freedom. I'm sure the jury felt the same.

The judge just gave her the maximum: 4 years to run consecutively with a 1,000 dollar fine for each year. Also considering making her pay for the costs of the police and things for the wild goose chases she sent them on.

So, that means, she will be out probaly later this month or August. Since she is indigent, she won't have the money to pay the fines so will get out of that too.

Now I do think they will make her pay the fines.. Cause she will have the money just as soon as the Book & Movie Deals in the works Pay Her.. And oh yes they said last night that She has had a dream in jail that tells her that its time for her to get pregnant again now for a new baby..

Yes I do think the Whole Family Knows Just What Happened to the Baby && Its All A Cover Up.. And they have all gotten away with it now too I guess..
