I know but I guess it goes back to this jury just being lazy. They believed she was guilty but there was no smoking gun and they didn't want to spend anytime going through the evidence, etc. It was just the easy way out.
But honestly, whatever they say in the press, I don't believe anyways. I think a lot of their comments are just for the public... they feel bad, they think she is guilty, it's the state's fault, etc.
There was a smoking gun! THREE PIECES OF DUCT TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THAT PRECIOUS FACE!! (Sorry not yelling at you just sick, sick, sick over this verdict and how it was achieved.)
If (BIG IF) Caylee had been found at the bottom of some ditch, walking distance from home, no duct tape, no decomp in the car, not triple bagged, no neck breaking/chloroform searches, no chloroform in the car - maybe, just maybe I could see how this jury reached the decisions they did.
CA and FCA were having discussions (read fights) over Caylee's care. CA said FCA was a lousy, rotten mother and CA was going to take custody. One day FCA wasn't watching Caylee closely and she discovered Caylee was missing, couldn't be found in the house or outside. FCA decided CA/GA was pulling something on her, they took Caylee to teach her a lesson, so FCA (in all her glory) decides to turn the tables and take off herself! She can't admit to her friends her mother says she is a horrible person so she lies about Caylee being with the nanny. Only trouble is 31 days later mom catches up with her and wants to know where Caylee is! So she tells mom the same lie she's been telling her friends, "She's with the nanny" but now adds "I've been looking for her, they've disappeared!"
LE is called, CA and FCA are not admitting to their fights, they both go with "the nanny" story. No nanny is ever found and her addresses are all bogus!
FCA is arrested! She is even offered a deal! Tell us where Caylee is, we'll take A.B.C. off the table! But FCA has no clue what became of Caylee.
6 months go by before Caylee's remains are found down the street, in what had been a wet, muddy, swamp. No telling from the remains as there are no visible injuries but it could have been child abuse/murder, after all her mother partied like it was 1999 for 31 days while her child was "missing".
FCA is not willing to admit she was not watching her child, she lets a jury of her peers decide her fate.
There's no smoking gun, FCA is acquitted.
In the real world; a mother that lied to the cops who wanted to find her child, lied to everyone she knew for a month, boozed, screwed and got tattooed. Went out and rented movies in the hours following the last time her child was seen alive. Yeah, pretty suspicious but maybe not enough to convict her of murder...
THREE PIECES OF DUCT TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THAT TINY FACE, computer searches, decomp in the car, chloroform in the car are all the smoking guns a reasonable person should have needed to convict FCA of murdering her child.
This jury rates an epic FAIL!
