Post-Verdict: I am sick and heartbroken

[Kavya01]

May Karma be just to ALL involved in this whole ungodly mess. And may Caylee find SOME way to rest in peace. She will not be forgotten.

Do we know anything about which juror was the foreman? I wonder if there wasn't one or two that bullied the others into their decision. My husband is a very forceful personality and just for joy or arrogance has served on a few juries and was only one or two with a particular view and bullied the rest into going with his decision. If the rest were tired an sick of the whole thing and did not realize the gravity of the public perception they might have just caved to get it over with.

I dunno.

I am sick right now. Anyone want to join me in a glass of wine? I am having one, to calm my nerves. I will never understand how in the world in Florida it's ok to chloroform, duct tape and drive around with your daughters rotting corpse until it stinks so much you chunk it into the woods for animals to chew on.

I hope this doesn't get me a time out. I will delete if necessary.

Can Judge Perry overturn this verdict?

Is there any hope?

If he had the power to give death on murder 1 if the jury voted against it, can he overturn this verdict completely?

I am holding out about 1% hope on something that I noticed as Judge Perry was reading the rulings in front of ICA and JB. I noticed that when he read the 1st degree murder finding of the jury he looked up and said "At this time, I will adjudicate you not guilty" - that was the ONLY time he said that. He didn't say it before any of the other charges.

Does anyone think that maybe, just maybe Judge Perry might be able to correct this unjust verdict? I truly believe that Judge Perry knows the jury got it wrong. If ever there were a judge who would stand up and say the jury was wrong, I think it could be Judge Perry.

Is this possible? Or do you all think that I'm reading too much into what he said and just hanging on to any hope that may be left for justice to be served?

To tell you the truth I am not surprised. 10 years ago a jury broke my familys heart with their verdict. I am so sick of murders walking but it happens evry day. God bless you Caylee. We all know the truth. Cold comfort.

 

[4Jacy]

Oh, Caylee, you were so adorable and sweet. I'm so sorry for you. Just know that you were loved world wide.

My heart hurts, I am stunned and sick.

 

[RR0004]

I know this doesn't make any sense, but I feel I've let Caylee down. What more could I've done? How many more prayers could I have said? Did I not wish hard enough for justice? I wanted her spirit to soar knowing that her death was avenged. Oh, Caylee...please forgive me.

 

[PlainJaneDoe]

I want to know how I can't get away with skipping a day of school/work, but KC can get away with murder. Please, someone explain.

 

[whiteangora]

I hope the jurors feel ashamed of their selves today. They were Caylees last chance at some sort of justice

The scales of justice are leaning heavily tonight

God Bless America but just who blesses the innocent American murdered child

They must feel ashamed because they refuse to speak to the media nor do they want their names revealed.
This is beyond sickening. Not Guilty My A$$!

 

[suzihawk]

I'm so stunned and sick that I can't even cry. I was crying when they said the verdict is in, but I can't even cry now. I'm numb and shell shocked.

By this weekend this child killer will be walking free and will soon be a wealthy woman. I wonder if she still has Tony's number? She can just pick right back up with her beautiful life. I wonder if Cindy is planning a chili dinner for her homecoming where no one speaks of it so as to not upset her?

I'm appalled and heartsick as well as physically sick.

What could this jury possibly be thinking? Who do they think killed Caylee and threw her in a ditch like garbage? They don't want to speak to the media. I don't blame them. I hate to be one to criticize a jury but they should be ashamed. I have to wonder if they just didn't want to deal with it anymore since they knew they'd have to serve more time for the penalty phase.

I just cannot believe it. Justice was not served today. It's a very dark day for justice.

I'm so sorry little Caylee. May you RIP in spite of your family and not receiving justice. Know that thousands of people will love and care for you forever.

I have so many questions...

Rip the bandaid off quick. I am in tears. No, HHJP respects this jury too much to overturn the verdict. She is walking.

 

[krisskross]

Well, I guess you can get away with murder.
Casey Anthony has been adjudged not guilty but that in no way means innocent. These jurors got the sanitized version of this girls story. There is much they are unaware of. But that is how the system works.

Whilst personally gutted, I have to think these jurors followed the law and believed the defense had raised a reasonable doubt.

The name Casey Anthony will imo always be synonymous with OJ Simpson. She too got away with murder.

So sorry Caylee

 

[sappysoul]

I just simply cannot understand how 12 people can agree she had nothing to do with Caylee's death. How??

 

[JBounds]

I am speechless and sick to my stomach. If anyone out there wants to kill their child, go ahead you will be aquitted.

 

[Jen38]

To say my heart is sick is an understatement.

I have no other words.

 

[robmom]

When they came back this fast, I knew they'd found her not guilty. I was afraid this would happen. I'm even willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until I re-look at those pictures of Casey partying it up for those 31 days. I just do not understand how that jury could see that behavior and believe she was mourning or it was an accident. The talking heads always say we have to respect the jury blah blah blah. I don't have to respect them and I don't.

 

[JenniferTx]

I am sad to say that our justice system has failed Caylee Marie! I am still in such shock I feel like I must be still sleeping and this is just a really bad dream. Was this jury watching the same trial like all of us were? OMG! This just can't be happening.

I resign. From crime.

Until the Caylee/Casey Anthony case, I wasn’t a blogger or even a “true-crime advocate for justice”. This particular case, for like many of you, grabbed me somehow, stirred me, grasped my attention in a way no other case had; not Haleigh Cummings (though I was thoroughly interested in that one!), Kyron Horman (I dropped that one along with everyone else), Zahra Baker, Hailey Dunn and so on and so on and on.

Today’s verdict of “Not Guilty” was as stunning to me as O.J’s not guilty verdict and I’m resigning my interest in all of this madness from this day forward. I have devoted 3 years of my time, energy and emotions to this case and to be honest, it isn’t, wasn’t and will never be, worth it.

And Casey Anthony is going to walk. Free.

Even her lying to law enforcement will be rewarded, not punished but rewarded with time served for 4 misdemeanors. And being the model prisoner that she is, she’ll get the 4th year off for “good behaviour”. It’s enough to make me vomit.

I enjoyed being part of the Websleuths family, was delighted when Tricia got the radio show up and running on Blogtalk, the whole nine yards really.

But enough is enough, to quote Judge Perry. I am reclaiming my life and I will never get this involved in a crime case every again (though those that know me don’t believe me!).

I’m looking forward to losing the 12 lbs. I gained sitting on my arse, reading and contributing to blogs, and finally being rid of Nancy Grace.

Good luck to all of you dedicated, caring and devoted people who seek justice for those with no voice. I admire each and every one of you, enjoyed your comments and thoughts but I just cannot do it anymore.

I pray I don’t hear about the next child victim – or adult for that matter, because I have come to realise that what I think and feel doesn’t matter. Not one iota.

Best wishes to each and every one of you and God bless Judge Belvin Perry who tried his hardest and his very best to get justise for Caylee Marie Anthony. Who is now, nothing but dust - and even less than that to her own mother.

So sad, so very sad.

This is my first ever post here, though I've been lurking for a while. I've been following this case from the UK and just had to write to say how much my heart ached when I heard the verdict. I cannot believe it. Words fail me.

 

[MAL954]

Who'd a thought it was possible to assemble a jury of dumb<snips> even more clueless than the OJ 12? Go know.

 

[Steven30CA]

I understand if they have found her GUILTY on manslaughter... AND They refused to talk to the media and Judge Perry is STILL sealing the jurys' names....... thats fishy..... JMO
