the problem with this type of logic is that it suggests the public apply some sort of judicial liquid white out to all pre-verdict evidence, simply because a jury found a defendant not guilty. should this type of logic also be applied to those who are wrongfully convicted, simply because a jury...
don't want to be overly judgmental, but were there any real adults on that jury? mature adults. adults with professional careers that require intelligence, critical thinking, responsibility for others? you know, grown ups. heck, that gym teacher / foreman clown struck me as one or two steps...
and yet "theoretical scenarios" are exactly what convinced this jury to return a verdict of not guilty. "theoretical scenarios" such george is an incestuous pedophile (a dt claim backed by absolutely no evidence), that george covered up the crime (a dt claim backed by absolutely no evidence)...
"why would casey kill her daughter when there wasn't any evidence of prior abuse... she was a loving mom."
i guess he missed the part about casey not having worked a day in caylee's life to support her, that she had left this parental task up to george and cindy. or the part about her kicking...
well only two states in the country have a lower high school graduation rate than florida, an ugly statistic which casey has obviously contributed to. i guess scott had the bad luck of being tried in a state with a 68% high school grad rate compared to florida's 59% rate...
"she seems sincere, but again you don't know if she's acting..."
clearly the keen mind you want on the jury, someone able to deftly process the mountains of evidence regarding casey's non-stop lies and come away with "she seems sincere...". no doubt other jurors felt the same as this savant...
well put....
heck, if you polled the jurors i'm sure you would find that many feel there's sufficient evidence to believe ufo's have visited earth, as is the case with tens of millions of americans, yet there's wasn't enough evidence to convict ica? beautiful.
to borrow liberally from william manchester:
. . . if you put the avalanche of overwhelming circumstantial evidence on one side of a scale and the shocking acquittal of pathological liar casey anthony on the other side, it doesn't balance. you want to add something weightier to casey...
masterminds? everyone in on it from the start? a perfectly choreographed and sophisticated web of lies hatched well in advance? wow! at the eleventh hour the defense came up with the most obvious, tried and true defense: the abuse excuse. which allowed them to claim it was accident. could a...
well ashton was laughing it up throughout the trial, from opening statement through closing (still can't believe he pulled that nonsense) - so i guess jb feels what's good for the goose is good for the gander... one thing is for sure, jb got the last laugh.
nothing would have been gained by sticking with the zanny nonsense, it would have been worse imo - at least with the drowning pitch the defense could take a stab at telling the jury that their liar of a client was finally coming clean, fessing up to the truth, as hard as it was for her to do...
yesterday seidlin said that it's important to remember that juries aren't rich and famous, so they tend to lack sophistication, the implication being that they may be too dense to get the rules. i kid you not. what a meatball. it seems that ever since the o.j. case folks think that juries acquit...
in hindsight, i think baez did as well as could be expected, i mean what in the heck did he have to work with? further, is there an attorney in the world that would come across looking like anything more than a slimeball when representing the likes of a casey anthony? is there such a thing as a...
