I think I read in the foreman's interview he said the first vote was 10-2 in favor of not guilty so the consensus was there early on.

The fact that we here on WS continue to rehash and debate the evidence from both sides- SA & DT -shows that it is logical that there is some doubt -the burden of proof wasn't there for 1st degree murder. I get that. I reviewed the language of the laws provided to the jury and I understand...

Child Neglect is not an option in aggravated child abuse under Fl statute. The jury seems to have felt that they did not have enough evidence : Under Florida Statute Section 827.03(2), aggravated child abuse occurs when the defendant commits one of the following on a child: aggravated...

I reread what it takes to be found guilty of aggravated child abuse and I conceede this point to the jury. However, I still find that aggravated manslaughter was a viable option: Aggravated manslaughter is an enhanced charge triggered by certain circumstances. Those include negligently...

I don't blame the jury for their decision at all; I may not agree with the NG for agg abuse or manslaughter but I think they gave up enough of their lives that this case became their world for 35 days. They lived in Casey's world for that time period, and although they weren't allowed to talk...

I still am 100% certain that Casey's actions resulted in Caylee's death. I've never been sure if it was because of neglect, accident or murder-and there just wasn't enough proof at trial to clarify it for me- or this jury, for that matter. I understand the not guilty of 1st degree murder, but...

She sent them on a wild goose chase after the non-existent zanny the nanny- she told them she worked at Universal. She told them many lies- one of which MAY have been that she didn't kill her daughter- but that one simply cannot be proven. While I do not agree with the verdict- I felt that...

They did a phenomenal job tying in all of the defense's rhetoric into evidence that showed Casey's lies and the truth offered by witnesses. I loved how Ashton showed that George was a loving grandfather,distraught father and heartbroken man and husband. LDB tugged at heartstrings by evoking...

I respect all opinions. I too grew up with a mom who is probably very like CA- from what I saw in the past several years. I actually was open to hear testimony that might prove that she lied as a coping mechanism due to any substantiated abuse from the family ( although I thought the whole GA...

Which video of Caylee do you want playing continuously during your 14 yrs on Death Row to remind you of what you took away from your family and the world?

I think that CM asked for the competency hearing because he told ICA that he felt he should take over as lead for JB-since he was messing up all of the their CICand she declined. He knew then that she had some kind of imbalance-IMO :floorlaugh:

While I think that he is a bit odd, it was probably natural curiosity and a bit of greed that kept prompting RK to continue looking. Had nothing to do with the murder. I think that he searched originally because there was a lot of money offered in reward, tried getting LE to look where he...

My 13 yr old dd does it when she layers those ultra thin aero or hollister t-shirts over camis- I've never thought of it being anything other than a fad- she does it a bit less now that she's 'developing'. ICA is showing her immaturity once again.

if he left out the conspiracy theory including GA and RK I might have allowed an open mind for the DT but GA being involved made it completely unbelievable in MHO. I can see that ICA might be sick enough to completely cover up an accident with a story in her fantasy world- she has done it all...

I agree that they have not proven premeditation, but I do not believe that 2nd Degree Murder is one of the charges for which they can find her guilty? If I am wrong please let me know! Maybe I watch too much Law & order, and it may be different here in FL, but I believe the jury can only...

I think that if the trial ended now, I would convict on manslaughter not Murder 1. But I have faith that the lies ICA told, that were conveyed thru JB during his opening statement will bury the defense and the SA will be able to nail the coffin tight thru rebuttal testimony. The SA did an...
