So what's there for me to care about?

It depends. Most people are outraged because it seems obvious she killed her daughter, but her acquittal was due to a flaw in the legal system.
So you probably won't care if you accept America's current legal system or find her acquittal fair.

Good job, TC. I was going to make a thread about this, but I had the decency to check the first page of General (the only place this topic can exist) before senselessly going with my idea. I wish all people were like me. It should also be noted that I was shocked to see this thread only had six replies. I thought General section likes controversial topics.

Judge gave the harshest term he could based on what she actually was guilty for; I feel the decision was fair and justified. Nothing in the prosecution's argument [i]proved[/i] that she killed her daughter. It was a bunch of circumstantial evidence which stated nothing. She lied to the police. All that proves is that she lied to the police. She searched for chloroform, yet the cause of death (I don't actually think there was one) stated nothing about asphyxiation.

I'm not saying she's [i]innocent[/i], I could care either way whether she actually killed her daughter or not. I'm just glad that the American justice system (or, most of it) realizes that you can't throw someone in jail for something you [i]think[/i] they did. Nothing was proven, her term (like, one week) was perfectly fair, and society needs to learn how the justice system works before they baww about her.

I believe I was watching CNN and some analyst said that Casey was actually in danger if she continued to live in Florida. I'm surprised that the government, especially in this situation where society is retarded enough to be against her, doesn't provide her with some sort of security. I mean, she's going to be shunned from society for the rest of her life, and that's perfectly fine. But let's not have someone murder her because they think she murdered someone.

[i]acquittal was due to a flaw in the legal system.[/i]

wut

Every legal system is flawed because every legal system is based on people and people are flawed. A statistic was shown that 85 to 90 percent of all cases result in some form of conviction, so I don't understand why people are going crazy over one not guilty verdict. Not everyone is guilty because they are accused, and I think this case, more than anything, shows how "innocent until proven otherwise" really shines.

Also, it's cool to note that, despite the majority of society without regard to political affiliation believing she should have been convicted with first-degree murder or manslaughter, the majority of the people that believe the jury's verdict was justified are Democrats. Just food for thought.

She wasn't proven guilty, so I belive she's innocent.
[/quote]

That's some strange logic you got there.


I believe that there's not enough evidence to prove she did or did not do it.

I agree; being "not guilty" is not even close to being "innocent". However, it is the job of the prosecution to prove to the jury that she did, in fact, commit the crime. Obviously the prosecution did a really shitty job of that. I would never go up to Casey and say, "I'm glad you aren't in jail; you are perfectly innocent and I know for a fact you didn't kill your daughter." I'd be a moron. However, I'm glad she didn't go to jail when they didn't even have close to enough evidence to prove her as guilty.

THERE IS A REASON IT'S CALLED "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE" AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, GUYS.

It's strange that even the most die-hard conservatives will complain about the very values and traditions that, "the great founding fathers" put in place. Or maybe they just like executing people.

To be fair, executing people is fun.

I hope she dies a thousand deaths.
[/quote]

I don't see how that is fair. Even if we assume that she did kill her daughter, she took away one life. I see no reason to take away one thousand of her lives.

And I hope you get sent to a jail where they torture you 24/7, but don't let you die.

Seriously, how ignorant can you be? You don't know if she did it or didn't do it. No one does. So stop it with all this hate. It's not going to change anything.

You can hope all you want. Too bad I'm still here, nigga.

Never said I cared if she did it or not, either. I know it's not going to change anything, but it's still my opinion. I don't really give a s*** if I know it's written in blood if she did it or not. Something about her puts me off, I don't like her, I think she killed her child, and quite honestly, I just hope she dies for it. Not saying you have to agree with what I say or think.

I think she did it for the following reasons:
*After finding her child dead, she proceeded to put her in the trunk of her car.
*After 30 days, she threw her child in a swamp
I know there's stress and greivances and all, but seriously? And nobody was notified during this time.
*During those 30 days, she was partying, day and night. Not problem partying, carefree partying
*The duct tape tied around the child's mouth was the same duct tape in her home.
*She changed her story 4 times. [i]4 times[/i]. I can understand once or twice, but 4 times?
*She attempted the sob story at the end of it, saying she wanted to adopt or have another child, move, and dye her hair.

----

I would link her reckless behaviour with the murder of her child, however, there's no physical evidence. I like to compare this to O.J.; everyone knows who did it, they just cannot pin it on them.
