Day after day and no arrest

The problem here is that Florida has a strange double jeopardy law. You can only try a person once on the incidence. If they try Casey on neglect and not murder, and they get a conviction on neglect, they cannot go back and charge her again for murder at a later time. Since she goes to trial in november on neglect in this case, LE has to bring the murder charges by then or that is all she can ever be charged and tried for. Several lawyers from Florida have commented on this.

For sure Casey will not face murder charges. Because of those screwy laws, Casey is winning big time. I'm afraid with what they have right now, I doubt a jury will convict. Reasonable doubt and all that. Heck the let OJ off. There are plenty people that believe that crazy kidnapping story.

The more she keeps her trap shut, she'll be doing just fine and get, what 6 years for child neglect?
 
Agree with Kathyn, just remember the quirky FL law about speedy trial. They have to be ready to go to trial when they press charges... I do believe they have a whole lot and I don't believe she will go uncharged... As for conviction, I was amazed when OJ was found not guilty, so nothing would really surprise me here either.
 
There have cases with less evidence that conficted, however all the reports I hear indicate that LE simply does not have enough even to bring murder charges. I'm sure she will be convicted of the lesser charges, but I don't see this case ever closing. She will take this to the grave with her. She will never be charged with murder.

Total, with all those charges I can see her doing prison time 20-30 years. I would think most people hope she gets well past her child bearing years, by the time she gets out.

This case is not the only one dead in the water. They still have not found the killer of 5 women at Lane Bryant in Chicago. Despite a surviving eye witness. I think there are plenty people keeping mum about that. No way that will ever get to LE.


I disagree. The U.T. Body Farm was on their way to Orlando the other night. Someone has found something and my thought is they are looking for traces of chloroform. IMO, they are onto something and I don't think it will be much longer before we hear "KC arrested and charged with murder".
 
I hate to say it but the only way that there will be a murder charge is if Casey confesses or the person that helped her with the body confesses. Otherwise, she will do her 3-4 years for check charges, get out, change her name and go somewhere far far away and start over. Just my opinion. Not saying that there won't be an arrest, but I wouldn't recommend anyone holding their breath.

change her name and go somewhere far far away and start over....this statement is the only part I disagree with.
Several times before today, it has been speculated she would do this.
It has never quite set right with me.
I feel she would always stay close to her family. She has very little initiative and needs that family for some odd reason.
The parents might move eventually, and if she is 'out,' she would trail along with them.
Might be the only recourse for them.
 
I am of the humble opinion that LE is doing their job. Iam also of the opinion that Le wants justice for Caylee as much if not more than anyone else. They will take their time and proceed with their strategy regardless of public opinion. I am not and will not lose faith in LE. They need our support in this. On a personal note, this case has broke my heart, misery is everywhere asssociated with this case and I need a hero out there and for me it is LE, they are really the only ones that are on the frontline, they are going to see this through.

I support LE and believe they are doing their job. However, how much they can do is limited by the amount of evidence. No evidence, no further charges, possibly no resolution. If this case goes unsolved, I don't believe it will be due to LE's failings. It will be due to a lack of sufficient evidence.

Maybe, but we don't have any idea what they ahve and don't have. The chloroform came as a complete shock to all of us. No one was expecting that. So it is hard to say anything or predict an outcome when we have no idea what evidence they have. I'm not being disrespectful, I just don't understand how folks are coming to this conclusion so quick.

I hear you. I'm just assuming that if they had enough to charge her, they would. You are right about us not knowing what info they have, I'm just guessing that it's not enough for a murder charge. Even the chloroform is not enough for a charge when they can't prove how/if/why it was used. I'm sure they know more than they've said but even that might not be enough.
 
IMO LE's first mistake was arresting her so early on other charges. Being they arrested her, she got to "lawyer up", so unfortunately now she has rights, and doesnt "have to" talk. They should have followed her, taped her, she would have messed up, (guaranteed with the blabbing she does to others!) then they would have had her but good!
I see her getting out of this the way it stands, and she will just go to jail on the other charges. I hope I am wrong, and they find Caylees body, but I dont see it happening.

They took a chance arresting her. They had sufficient reason to arrest- obvious neglect and Amy's reported theft so they kinda had to make the arrest I think. They probably thought that the extra pressure of being arrested would crack her and it didn't. The best thing for Casey (and only Casey) is to just shutup and thanks to that lawyer, she's doing just that.

Don't worry Maui, the speedy trial thing comes from the US constitution. Everyone has a right to a speedy trial in America, though there are those we'd like to hold indefinitely.

It shouldn't be an added burden to the prosecution...

She's gonna crash and burn. :woohoo:

I do agree Miracles... it was from something I read that FL is only state in nation with this speedy of a trial... I understand it is a constitutional right and I do believe in that, I just hate to see LE hampered in any way from finding true justice by only having 190 days to make their case after charges are brought.

In my own humble opinion, in this case Casey is not a danger to society, but I wonder if there could be a case where a person is a danger to society and LE has to rush their case in order to prosecute the case. Just thinking out loud here.
 
I agree with you on this. I posted a similar comment on another thread yesterday. I think LE is doing a pretty good job but I think they really messed up with they arrested her 1 day after their interview and she lawyered up. I think they may have had a chance to get her to talk if they had kept interviewing her several more times. In fact, I would never have let her go home that nite. I would have sent several teams in to interview her and tried several tactics. I didn't feel they questioned her enough on her lies. I know there were many more questions I would have asked her and many more statements I would have made to her. They gave up too quickly and just arrested her. If they had waited they may have gotten an answer as to where Caylee is. Maybe not but maybe so. Arresting her was the only and biggest mistake LE made in this case.

I do think they had good intentions. I think they thought she would crack in jail and tell where she was and she didn't. She is one slick chick. Maybe if Leonard hadn't come along and bailed her out she would have broke down when all these new charges were added but who knows now??

Ultimately it will come down to the old addage: He who laughs last, laughs best." .....and that's gonna be the good guys in this one. The law will bring justice in the end.

I humbly disagree with those who feel this case won't be brought.
There will be tons of witnesses, both laypeople, law enforcement, and expert.
The time involved in preparing this for that one bite of the apple is going to be phenomenal.

There will be direct evidence, expert testimony as well as learned treatises,
FBI, OCSO, forensics, testimony as to means, motive , identities etc, scientific evidence, presumptions, public records, opinions,and on and on and on.
There will be scores of witnesses, documents, displays, recordings, experts in forensics, chemistry, psychology, and on and on.

I do not for one second think that Casey Anthony has the genius to get away with murder.
Give me a break. She committed a series of larcenies on video tape. She consistently has left a paper trail a mile wide. Oh that's brilliant. People like this, who act and think as if they are above the law, tend to be defeated in the end. Arrogance does not play out well in the criminal system. Either she has screwed up and left damning evidence or she will screw up even more.
This case is far from all circumstantial. The lack of a body is not fatal for the prosecution.

The time and people needed for preparing this is astronomical! There will be a murder arrest when it happens. But it is going to happen.

Caylee will have her day in Court........
 
LE is getting their ducks in a row....ok. But we have been saying that for weeks. I dont think it takes weeks to dot every I etc and get all the ducks in a row. Something is missing from this case. Something is wrong.

Keep in mind the trail was already "cold" by over a month. During all that time, it's very easy for people to forget small facts that could have had merit had they been fresh in their minds. Can you remember exact movements/events of 30 days ago? Unless you have some significant event to relate to, everyday happenings are often hard to remember even several days later. I think, under the circumstances, LE is having a much harder time pinning down timelines and witnesses and therefore it's taking much longer than it would have if Caylee had been reported missing right away. I've read that after 48 hours a crime is harder to detect. I have my fingers crossed that LE is doing a great job. They certainly have surprised me with some of what was released we didn't know about before. I'm sure they aren't showing their entire hand so I'm sure it's pretty substantial. I also agree that JB wouldn't be trying to supress murder evidence when murder charges haven't even been discussed at this point...unless he's afraid of what will come out.
 
Heck I can't remember what I did yesterday Orlando... another point, as long as Casey is not charged I do not believe that LE has to disclose anything to her atty... I have faith that they are doing a good job. I was impressed with the little I heard of the interview tapes.
 
Is it bothering any one else? I am still very concerned about the leaks in this case and if any of them are true. Every day is the same. All LE does is arrest her for petty crime. I can almost guarantee they will never find those tiny bones. I think all ping areas were checked and no Caylee. If she ever tossed her by the airport the aligators ate her.

I did hear or read something interesting yesterday and that was the landfill was checked where the amscott dumpster and maybe a few other relevant dumpsters are dumped and no Caylee. I don't believe anything turned in so far is relevant either as there would be info back on most of it and we would know something. I am so exasperated. I think LE has everything back on this case, yet no arrest. Very scary.


it's been bothering me too. they've convicted many with far less then they claim to have.
 
LE might feel they have what they need. LE definitely has more than we know. The DA is telling LE they need more. The DA prefers a body although it is not actually required. The DA doesn't want to take chances because there is always the possibilty of getting the person on their jury that wants to see the body (not literally) and if he/she doesn't see a body - they conclude reasonable doubt.

Question - Does anybody feel "leaks" are lies? Does anybody feel "leaks" are really leaks, or does anybody feel that the info released is orchestrated in a way that could lead to an avenue of more info?

my opinion

released in a very controlled and orchestrated way...may or may not be true.
 
I am having faith that they are crossing their t's and dotting their i's. I think they have another month to make their case IF what I have read that they need to charge her before neglect trial begins is true.


it's been bothering me too. they've convicted many with far less then they claim to have.
 
Casey is in home confinement, she is not able to live the life she's used to. No parties, no friends.
It was reported in the media on Thursday that the new charges are pending, so they may re-arrest her in the nearest future.
