firefox, Thank you for taking the time to reply. I don't think that there was an accident & Cindy & George agreed to cover it up. Cindy called the police & made Casey Anthony get on the phone with the police. If Cindy had not alerted authorities - then no one would have started asking questions. If she was in on covering up an accident - then why would she call police. At some point after Casey was arrested & charged with the Murder of Caylee I think Casey would have told that her parents knew about the accident & helped conceal the accident. I don't think Casey would have sit in jail so long without telling about her mom and dad's involvement.
Again, thank you to responding to my below post.
Everyone on this board has put & is putting more thought into seeking justice for Caylee than the jury did. The jurors took an oath! I still cannot get over how quickly the jury reached a verdict - they could not have weighed any evidence.
Since 2008 - I have felt as though Caylee was killed by Casey Anthony. The murder of Caylee was premeditated. I have felt as though Casey is a person without a conscious - read "People of the Lie" by M. Scott Peck. The book "People of the Lie" is disturbing but describes Casey Anthony.
Casey Anthony being free amongst us is scary - she doesn't have a conscious & will murder again if it suits her. At least we know who she is - none of us will mistakenly invite a person without a conscious into our lives.
I do hope that I was wrong & the jury got it right. The evidence against Casey Anthony, in my opinion, did show beyond a reasonable doubt that she murdered Caylee. I can't believe the jury didn't at least find Casey Anthony guilty on manslaughter.
I've tried to think of another explanation - if Caylee's death was an accident & Caylee was so afraid of her mother that she couldn't tell - so Casey decided to stay clear of her parents for as long as possible planning a lie that Caylee has been taken by the Nanny. If Caylee's death was an accident - then why didn't Casey Anthony say so October 2008, January 2009 - ANYTIME! I don't Casey Anthony could say it was an accident because it was not an accident.
I apologize but the verdict of Not Guilty is very upsetting to me. If anyone can stomach it - could someone walk me through the Defense's Closing Arguments. I know Jose Baez said that George Anthony was the only person in the world to report stolen gas cans & that he knew the car was somewhere but waited to go and get it.
I really need to know what that jury thought - when I watched Jose Baez in Closing Arguments he didn't say anything that I found would give reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony is not guilty - I did not hear anything said that should sway 12 reasonable people to not even find Casey Anthony Guilty of Manslaughter.
There is something wrong with this jury!
I do apologize, again, for going and on & on. I am much more upset by this verdict than I ever imagined I would be. If someone could, please walk me through Jose Baez's Closing Arguments.
Also, please explain to me the importance of the gas cans, George Anthony reporting the gas cans stolen, Caylee Anthony's "Big Trouble Shirt" found with the remains - why is it important that Cindy Anthony never saw this shirt before.
I'm sure I will have more questions - questions that probably only Casey Anthony could answer. However, at this moment I would not even want to sit in a room & talk to Casey Anthony. I think she is scary person and I would not want her to know who I am.
Thanks for anyone who will go back into this case with me - the verdict has me very upset. I don't understand how 12 people could come to the verdict of Not Guilty. I don't see why the gas cans, George Anthony reporting his gas cans stolen, Cindy Anthony not ever seeing a shirt of Caylee's before.
George reporting the gas cans stolen was questionable behavoir because he knew Casey often took gas from the shed. It was not new to her. He even stated on the stand he saw were gas had ran down the side of her car.
He can notice a tiny thing like that yet act clueless about the rest of his life? Not likely.
He knew Casey stole the cans. so his motive of calling LE was what? We will never know.
The shirt , I dunno what was important except it was Caylee and cindy washed the clothes and the shirt may or may not have been to small (i missed that part of closing)
That said I cant go over the closing of the defence I watched most of it but my mind was made up before they finished or even started that the evidence was not there.
RK killed any possiblity that one could trust the duct tape as evidence Casey Anthony murdered Caylee and the fact that the medical eximiner used that very piece of evidence as a base for her homicide ruling ruined the states case. IMO.
So there you have the main factor in the shocking ruling IMO. There are many others as well that do not stem from anything Jose Baez alledged in his opening or closing but things that were presented as evidence by witnesses in the case on both sides and by evidence presented by the state.
I hope someone can walk you thought the closing but I cannot as I only put weight into long enough to decided he wasnt as bad a lawyer as I thought him to be. Maybe the jury saw it different than I did.
But for me I would have had to hang this jury if they would have insisted on a conviction because the ME and the duct tape and RK. I would have not put ANY weight into that tape evidence because of GA and his lies and gas can issues, the ME stating she could not say it was ever on the face, the fact skulls dont land in the position that skull was in ,and RK moved the skull and gave 7 depo's about it and the state didnt call him up to the stand at all. um why?
then the chloroform searches being listed as 84 times just to have that proven to be a mistake, I mean once was bad enought but if the state makes mistakes like then what else did they mess up?
This is a DP case. It is a big deal.
JMO.
