hello america!!! it saddens me that casey anthony will not do serious 'jail time' because i, like so many of you, believed she was guilty. that being said, the state did not 'prove' its case beyond a reasonable doubt & the jury did the right thing no matter how wrong we think they are.
firstly, had the state gone after a lesser charge, casey would be doing a lot of time, however, that's hindsight. to charge anyone with 1st degree murder & not be able to produce supporting evidence of that charge is another thing. to say the state over-reached for a guilty verdict on 1st degree murder is letting them off lightly. the state screwed this case up from the beginning (we'll get into this in a minute) because they speculated about what happened &, to include all the forensic evidence, they could not meet their burdon of proof.....& here's why:::::::::::::::::::
1.....the state could not directly connect casey to the duct tape
2.....the state could not prove the 'heart shaped sticker' was ever on the duct tape
3.....the state could not prove the duct tape was the 'murder weapon' due to lack of DNA & fingerprints
4.....the state could not prove that casey had or used that shovel
5.....the state could not lift fingerprints or DNA from that shovel
6.....the state could not link casey to the 'death scene'
7.....the state could not provide 'credible' experts to testify about the smell of death
8.....the state could not provide consistent witnesses to testify about the smell of death
9.....the state could not link the autopsy to the cause of death which was muffed
10...the state could not provide consistent witnesses to describe the 'crime' scene
11...the state could not provide concrete proof about the stain in the trunk of the casey's car
12...the state could not prove the time of death
13...the state could not prove the manner of death
14...the state could not prove where caylee died
15...the state could not prove when caylee died
16...the state could not prove who killed caylee
17...the state had to impeach several of its own witnesses
18...the state could not counter the testimony of roy kronk's son
america, these are but 18 reasons (at least) for a not guilty verdict. the jury did their job & the state failed to do theirs-----so, if you have a beef with the verdict, blame the state for not proving their case.
although jose baez made stupid 'opening' statements about what he was going to prove, the burdon of proof was not on him or casey----it rested soley on the shoulders of the state &, they couldn't & didn't carry it well. &, let's not forget that that 'sorry-assed' judge allowed the state greater 'leeway' then the defense. he allowed 'evidence' in that has never been admitted in any other court in our land. he 'shot down' the defense every chance he got-----so, if you say the deck was stacked:::it was but, it was stacked against the defense & had this verdict been 'guilty', casey would have had plenty of grounds for appeal.
my good people, this verdict was based on the evidence that the state of florida failed to provide----& that's the bottom line. in hindsight, we can all believe & or know that casey got away with murder but, that murder was never proven.
now, for all of those media outlets that had casey waiting for a needle before the trial, take yourself to bed &, when you wake up, put all of your resources together to find out exactly what did happen to little caylee. don't be on the 'air' beating up the jurors & the defense team because they did their jobs &, if you consider yourself true americans---do yours & find out who did this & why....swallow your stupid pride & this goes out to all the nancy graces & bill o'reilly's that don't & won't accept the verdict because you had casey one step away from the grave at the hands of the state of florida.......
