The biggest mistakes made were not zeroing in on KCs movements basically in the day before, day of and two days after Caylee's death. But lies, obstruction and confusion were all on her side. KC made some dumb moves coupled with extremely clever ones and thoroughly managed to baffle everyone with misinformation. This and some very convincing acting helped her get away with it. At this point it shouldn't matter if she was subdued with chloroform, xanax, Benedryl, cough syrup or warm milk, the suffocation searches and duct tape on her face, body in the woods should have been enough.
 
If anyone is interested, there is a TV show on the Oxygen channel titled "The Case of: "Caylee Anthony."

ok so I watch this Jim Clemente oxygen special and here's a couple of take aways.
Chloroform- they did a kind of experiment on how to make chloroform at one of the Universities and I kind of wish they had followed through and shown what it would have taken to make it. KC likely did not make some at her house because of the distillation step.

The body site- it was heartbreaking to see literally it was a garbage dump in that area. No one had the decency to bury her. There's been other cases of abused kids killed and someone cared enough to at least bury them. She had no remorse. It just drove the point home. No wonder Dr. G said homicide.

The skull. They had a replica of little Cs skull and basically show how the 3 pieces of duct tape covered her whole face, even her eyes. A few reasons why she would do that. (They theorized remorse) no way. 1. Dehumanize the victim. 2. So the victim might be too disoriented if they were to wake up. 3. Fool proof, no areas to try and breathe around if the whole face is covered. The was the hardest part to watch.

Kronk is suing Casey for defamation. Her and her legal counsel accused him of picking up Caylee's body, keeping it in his house for months and then planting it back out in the woods because he wanted the reward money for it. It was really nonsensical.

Before that, her defense team went on the national news claiming that Kronk should be just as much a suspect as Casey in "Caylee's murder." This is, IMO, obvious defamation, since according to the story Casey told at trial, Caylee died in a tragic accident and allegedly no one but George and Casey was present when this happened.

Interestingly enough, they also ran this story after Baez claimed in his book that Casey told him the truth about Caylee drowning in the pool.

I walked away from this forum after the verdict and haven't been back until now. I was so angry and heartsick and couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she got away with it. So many mistakes, but in my mind, though there were mistakes on so many levels, it was Judge Perry, and his fear of an appeal, who let this happen. Time has not softened my feelings about any of this.

I know this has been years but I agree and I didn’t totally see it at the time. Lived in Orlando at the time of the trial and knew people who knew FCA and was very sick over her acquittal. The thing is any DP conviction is an automatic appeal and honestly any conviction these days is appealed... so I don’t get the above and beyond concern really.

From what I understand, if the defense doesn't appeal a DP case, it's seen as strange or suspicious. Likely because if the appeal isn't filed, the defendant can claim thry didn't have adequate representation or that their lawyer/s were biased against them, etc (because seriously, what kind of lawyer wouldn't at least do a Hail Mary to try and keep their client alive, whether it's likely or not?)
 
one male juror said the Anthony trial was “traumatic to think about” as he wished “I had done a lot of things differently”.

The decision not to convict Anthony of her daughter’s death “haunts me to this day” and he wished he had been able to “push harder”, the juror said.

“I think now if I were to do it over again, I’d push harder to convict her of one of the lesser charges like aggravated manslaughter. At least that. Or child abuse,”
“I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, and I didn’t stand up for what I believed in at the time.”

I saw this too. Huge ugh is all I can say... yes we don’t understand that either when Caylee was found with duct tape... I still can’t believe 12 people voted not guilty so quickly.
 
I think the biggest mistake was the prosecutors let Cindy and George lie. That was their downfall they basically allowed jurors to think “maybe Geroge did it”

Also the cases they presented was very weak. They showed us what Casey did for 30 days-

Unfortunately, Baez did a very good job creating another possibility.

Primary mistake was aloof prosecution going to trial with thin evidence, poorly supported.

Valid. And they misread the family. This was a family that was supporting CA and her child. They had to have known that she did not work.

This is also valid. I have never served on a jury. But, I have served on committees that can get very heated. As a person who does not relish conflict, I "check out" and let the loudest person carry on.

Sounds like this juror is very much like that. He wanted out of the space with these people, so if he agreed, he could leave.

Introverts probably are not good for jury selection.

I am a chemist. The chloroform angle was nonsense. Quite a lot of the forensics presented in the trial was shockingly speculative.

And btw, the prosecutor actually presented proof that their scenario could not have happened, the whole "death hair" thing, which was apparently OUTSIDE the bag. So, either their forensics was junk science or they were basically making stuff up. What really surprised me is that neither side seemed to realize that, lol.
