I, for one, do not want to fund that. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see the average cost to house, clothe, bathe and feed one inmate per day in the State of Florida between the years of 2009 and 2010. To think that almost $500.00 per week would be spent to keep this woman in prison for the rest of her life is more than a lot even make. That's approx. $24,000 a year and over an average lifetime for her could add up to $1.2 million dollars according to my calculations, not to mention the cost to the State for her appeal(s), if any. For what, so she can think about it? I say do what needs to be done and let her memory fall where it may, hubristic heroine or not. JMHO

hmmm I voted guilty of first, lwp but I thought it said lwop....which is what I would vote for and what I believe she will most likely end up with.
It DID say that! Who's changing the options?
Thank you. That is what I wondered about. I am praying for her to be found guilty of Capital Murder as well.
I am just hoping they have their bases covered in case they get some jurors who want to believe it was an accident. Some people are perhaps going to have a hard time believing that this 'sweet young mother' could be so coldblooded, imo.
Respectfully BBM
Wait until the jurors see the jail video with ICA's parents where she loses her temper and pitches a fit.... and then see the pictures of poor little Caylee's skull with duct tape over her mouth and nose. Maybe then they won't be so quick to see her as a "sweet young mother'!!!
BTW, I love your screen name... we have always called our daughter Katydid.... and she is 27 years old!!
I voted Guilty of Murder and sentenced to death.
IMO, the death penalty is for crimes that are so heinous that we are left with no other option. Crimes against children fit into this category for me. Any crime against a child.
If ICA gets LWOP, I doubt that she will ever see a day in general population. She will be kept with a select group of inmates because her crime will put her in jeopardy in gen pop and once she becomes a prisoner her well being is the state's responsibility. She will never have to work a day in her life. Never have to wonder where her next meal is coming from. Never have to pay taxes. Her laundry will be done for her. Her meals will be prepared for her. She will make some friends. She will have penpals that declare their undying love for her. She will get to see her family when she chooses. They will supply her with plenty of money so that she can buy things. She will get to be the princess that she always thought that she should be.
Hummmm. I beginning to think that LWOP would be a holiday compared to my day to day life.
Anyway, I don't want my tax dollars taking care of this no good, worthless, scab on the butt of humanity.
Personally I think she is a cold blooded killer.I would be fine with either the DP or LWP.
I am just worried that the jury might lean towards it being an accident. And IF that happens and the only option is Capital Murder or acquittal,then it might be a problem.
I voted for the DP. And I am not a big believer in that so, it took me awhile to get there in this case. I also have to add that I can only vote that way at this time knowing that it is just a poll. To take someone's life, in real life, I would have to hear a defense of her first and the rest of the prosecution's case, as I am sure they have held back some info.
I can live with having the DP available in our justice system, for certain cases. There needs to be overwhelming evidence of guilt, and overwhelming evidence that there is not likely to be contrition - due to the history and nature of a person's character. There are people who are too dangerous to stay among the living. In the past, I would have reserved it for serial killers, assassins, those who prey on children, or those who may have killed only once but imployed torture to kill, or who killed in a particularly brutal way. But, I have to say, through watching KC, I have come to realize that a person can be overwhelmingly wicked while presenting themselves in an attractive, somewhat charming package.
For me, it was like a switch flipped one day, and I saw KC as I believe she is. For a long time I thought that KC killing Caylee was almost a kind of crime of passion. A split second decision. It took a long time for it to sink in that she thought about this over time, she researched it, she manipulated everyone, she waited and she preyed on Caylee, her own flesh and blood.
The fact that Caylee was her daughter, that she relied on KC for protection but was betrayed--to take the one relationship that should create an unbreakable bond of trust and to defile it, to use it for her foul scheme of murder....that's as close to unforgivable as one can get. So, IMO, that's the 1st strike against her for the DP in my book.
The fact that she had forethought--that's number 2.
That it was brutal (duct tape) #3.
That she dumped her daughter in trash bags and drove around with her in the trunk. Then dumped her at a dump site, around the corner from her house, #4.
That she spent the evening of the day she murdered Caylee, strolling blockbuster- looking for movies, seemingly unaffected. Then watching movies that evening with her boyfriend, #5.
That she partied for the next 31 days, #6.
That she has lied for evermore about what happened to Caylee, #7.
That she never once cracked while speaking with LE about her so called "missing daughter", never voiced concern or worry, #8.
The realization that she never called 911 for help to find Caylee, that she never would have called 911, and that she didn't want to get on the phone and speak to 911 when they were called! #9
That she sold video and pictures of her (was Caylee still missing at this point??!!) murdered child for profit, #10.
That she is capable and willing, and has attempted to try and frame an innocent person(including her own father) for Caylees murder, #11.
You all get the picture, I could go on and on, these things not only point out her guilt but her consciousness of guilt and her wish to sweep this little problem under the rug (out of sight, out of mind). She didn't want to deal with this....she really wanted to tell CA & LE to just get over it and leave her alone. She is shameless. She is a cold, calculating, manipulating, remorseless, vindictive murderess.
In her own words..."Maybe I'm a spiteful b*t*h!!" Maybe you are KC Anthony, maybe you are!
Unfortunately, (and I do hate to say this), but she does deserve to die.
:cow:
If you were a juror today, with all the evidence we have seen, what verdict and penalty would you apply? Please elaborate, if you would like![]()
Yes. That might do it. But they will also have the defense showing loving pictures taken of the two of them, and have testimony from people saying she was always a 'good, caring mother.' I just worry that the jury might worry about voting yes on Capital Murder.
p.s. My Grandmother always called me that, although my name is Kathleen.
I have always wondered where she got the nickname. lol
With all due respect.:blowkiss:
Why were the options changed. NO WAY would I have voted LWP.:waitasec:
