We were all mesmerized with the strange story of Casey Anthony and her missing daughter, Caylee, whose body was later found in a wooded area... and the seemingly odd fashion in which the young mom dealt with the news of her daughter's disappearance and death. After a trial that was televised and covered on all major news platforms, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the murder of her 2-year-old daughter and most of the country was in shock.
Now, it's been a year since the trial verdict and Casey Anthony is nearly done with her one-year probation for check fraud, which means that soon, she will be a completely free woman. Do you still have doubts about the trial verdict? Do you think Casey Anthony is responsible for her daughter's death?
MSNBC.MSN.COM reports:
"Casey Anthony, the young Florida mother who became a cable news sensation after the 2008 disappearance and death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, finishes her year of probation on check fraud charges on Friday, her lawyer told ABC News."
Given the case and lack of evidence the incompetent prosecution team presented, had I been on the jury I would have voted not guilty. They proved the baby was dead and that she was a lying slut who partied and was loaded all the time and a horrible mother but they didn't prove beyond a reaasonable doubt that she killed her child.
here are some of the things required to convict of pre-meditated first degree murder...
How did Caylee die?
Who killed her?
The goofball prosecution team proved neither. Remember the closing argument when the prosecution said "We can only hope the chloroform was used before the tape was applied" Hope?
Here are some of the major problems with their case....
No chloroform was ever found
No DNA was found on the duct tape
The medical examiner could not determine the exact cause of death
That is enough for reasonable doubt. Did she do it? I don't know. Did the prosecution prove it? NO!
Did she do it? Yes. End of effin' story! You can say all day that she didn't do it if you want to but I and most other people believe she did. I would have had no problem whatsoever to have found her guilty if I had had the opportunity. You are in the minority if you believe she didn't do it, a rather small minority of about 15% iirc.* Of course you have the right to believe whatever you believe, even that some space alien came down in a flying saucer and killed the baby but that just isn't what happened.
*I understand that the fact that most people believe she did it does not, in and of itself, prove anything. Well, other than that the majority listened to her unbelievable bs story and found her to be not credible and that the baby was a burden to her sorry @$$ and got in the way of her partying. The fact is that the defense got lucky and got an "OJ jury." Sad but it happens sometimes.
