This. There is a reason we do trial by jury not trial by lynch mob. *NM* Urza Send a noteboard - 05/07/2011 10:47:56 PM
..."Ok. After minutes of investigation using the facts as presented by Wikipedia, I'm ready to posit that Casey Anthony got away with murder,"

All hail the wikipedia warriors, all knowing on the basis of some information that some person at some point who may or may not have had a clue what they were talking about, may have written.

I can only hope that reporter was being ironic, i somehow doubt he was.

As for me, I only found out about this today via the bbc, I have no idea what happened, didn't follow the case. But if the media coverage as presented by the BBC, and the tales of people queueing to get in to see "The greatest reality show on TV" are true, then it's all a bit sickening.

I'm glad UK courts aren't broadcast on TV, never-ending reporting is bad enough.

I believe in divine judgement Aisha - 05/07/2011 11:38:44 PM 886 Views
I can tell you exactly why a jury didn't find her guilty of perjury, child neglect etc: Joel - 06/07/2011 12:04:12 AM 1067 Views
she was found guilty of 7 counts of lying to the Authorities Aisha - 06/07/2011 12:10:03 AM 880 Views
Then she'll do some pretty hard time. Joel - 06/07/2011 12:17:22 AM 849 Views
No she won't. Timthetrolloc - 07/07/2011 06:48:40 AM 924 Views

Kinda makes one wonder about how truthful and non-biased the information from the media is, no? nossy - 05/07/2011 11:15:25 PM 805 Views

I didn't watch it all, and I bet most of the public didn't either. nossy - 05/07/2011 11:44:04 PM 866 Views
Also a good point. Joel - 06/07/2011 12:23:16 AM 894 Views
murder conviction REQUIRES unanimity from the jury moondog - 06/07/2011 03:40:21 PM 826 Views

Did you spend 8 hours a day for a month going thru the evidence? *NM* Urza - 05/07/2011 11:36:03 PM 406 Views
I think you misunderstood what she was saying. *NM* Tashmere - 06/07/2011 12:21:30 AM 359 Views
The judicial system IS based on the belief it's better to free the guilty than condemn the innocent. Joel - 05/07/2011 11:52:37 PM 981 Views
What a great John Adams quote! That sums it up perfectly *NM* Dark Knight - 06/07/2011 01:06:50 AM 490 Views

So far this is the first time I've used the Facebook "LIKE" button. j-whitt987 - 06/07/2011 04:46:06 AM 959 Views
I would have to side with the jury on this one. As much as I think she did it, I could not have Tashmere - 06/07/2011 12:18:05 AM 752 Views
I cannot begin to express how little I care. Ghavrel - 06/07/2011 01:07:48 AM 787 Views
I would like to say the same. Tashmere - 06/07/2011 01:21:36 AM 1057 Views
*NM* Ghavrel - 06/07/2011 06:53:38 AM 325 Views
I wholeheartedly agree. Joel - 06/07/2011 01:28:22 AM 909 Views
You think her race and sex are irrelevant to the media attention garnered? Ghavrel - 06/07/2011 06:55:33 AM 744 Views
In a word, yes. Joel - 06/07/2011 12:27:37 PM 1085 Views
except it does apply. LadyLorraine - 06/07/2011 02:43:08 PM 963 Views
I agree, but what if the accused was of a different race/ethnicity? Avendesora - 06/07/2011 02:55:22 PM 878 Views
oh I'm sure we'd hear about how racist the media is LadyLorraine - 06/07/2011 04:22:08 PM 1005 Views
I agree, which is why I watch very little tv lately. *NM* Avendesora - 06/07/2011 04:23:23 PM 458 Views
Except in this case it doesn't. Joel - 06/07/2011 05:04:36 PM 922 Views

Last I heard, we don't try people via the Court of Public Opinion *NM* ßelals Girl - 06/07/2011 03:13:40 AM 341 Views
I agree. j-whitt987 - 06/07/2011 04:38:46 AM 975 Views
VERY wrong place. . *NM* Avendesora - 06/07/2011 02:52:21 PM 474 Views
Nope. I didn't think she was guilty of 1st degree murder. Nobody is to blame but the prosecutors... everynametaken - 06/07/2011 04:37:39 AM 960 Views
she did claim the death was an accident and she was found not guilty of manslaughter as well *NM* random thoughts - 06/07/2011 12:56:18 PM 472 Views
I thuught they would have had to charge her with that in order to convict her of it? everynametaken - 07/07/2011 02:37:53 AM 696 Views
They did charge her with it random thoughts - 07/07/2011 02:48:51 PM 917 Views
Yes, I didn't realize that was once of the charges. *NM* everynametaken - 08/07/2011 03:32:11 AM 322 Views
The case should never have gone to trial Ryan - 06/07/2011 07:28:44 AM 943 Views
I don't think they proved murder random thoughts - 06/07/2011 03:30:04 PM 785 Views
It's sad that so many people care so much about this case. Palatine - 06/07/2011 04:40:50 PM 753 Views
I agree. Spriteling - 07/07/2011 05:35:35 AM 655 Views
