Casey Anthony

[🪦 stainboy ●]

I personally think they will only find more charges to press against her, take her to court on those things and find her guilty. That is the same thing that was done to O.J. Simpson. He was found "Not Guilty" on criminal counts of murder...........but later was found "Guilty" in the civil case. It makes no difference to them how they get you to prison..............if they really want you in prison, one day you will go.

[color="#FFFF00"]You're right, they cannot find more "charges" against her in a criminal court. That would be double jeopardy.

However, as for going to prison from a civil court - that's an impossibility. You just lose your case and have to pay reparations or damages. Even OJ didn't serve time for the Nicole Simpson case. He was convicted civilly and just paid one helluva bill.[/color]

Sorry guys, my wife wants to vent...this is her, welcome to my nightmare.

First let me start by saying that I am not a nightmare Anyway, for those who want to believe the Defense, that she drowned, here's my question...why is she not guilty of manslaughter? She did nothing help save her daughter, scare of her father or not, she has the duty as her mother to help her. She can say she did CPR or whatever crap lie she wants to invent but by not trying to save her life, she allowed her death and is guilty...whatcha think?

Thanks,
Cheri

[color="#FFFF00"]First of all - Welcome to the board, Cheri! I'm sure you and my own wife would have much to complain about in terms of both her and your respective husband's mask-collecting habits!

As to why Anthony was not found guilty on manslaughter (as you're right - it is a mothers legal obligation to save her child from a "peril" provided that she herself was not in danger....) was because the prosecution never successfully proved HOW Kaylee died. Unfortunately no one will ever know. To prove the manslaughter charge for refusing to save your own child would rest on the fact that she did - indeed - drown. No one in the trial ever established this. The defense did NOT have to prove that Casey "allowed" her child to drown and did not administer CPR, as the burden of proof rested on the prosecution. The investigative team apparently was not successful in proving any of this. Anthony's father even denied the drowning story. All the defense had to do was cast doubt into how the prosecution claimed Kaylee was killed. This "burden of proof" was not ever convincingly demonstrated in this case....hence, the "not guilty" verdict.[/color]

she's guilty. fancy wording won't convince my otherwise..lol

[color="#FFFF00"]By no way am I saying that she wasn't guilty. I'm just saying one of the pillars of greatness which the United States rests upon is the due process clause of the 6th Amendment. She was given a fair trial with her own peers judging her guilt or innocence. Her own peers have emotions and feelings just like all of us, however, they still chose to judge her as "not guilty" due to their own legal obligation to administer fair justice. I just feel who are "we" to claim that the jurors were wrong in their opinion? They represent a fairly even cross-section of the U.S. (or at least of Florida) and I'm sure their decision was based on sound evidence, or lack thereof.

However, if we were all willing to convict Casey Anthony without a fair trial, then why even have a judicial system in the United States?

The old legal adage goes, "It is better to allow 100 guilty men to go free, than to have one innocent man serve time."

I guess now is the time to ask, do we, as the citizenry of this great country, still believe that?[/color]
