fizzy,

The baby's mouth and nose were duct taped over. Do you REALLY think it's reasonable to conclude that she wasn't murdered? Or even might not have been?

Defense tried to say the death was an accident. Oh? Could any decent person permit such treatment of her deceased daughter's body? I can't imagine it.

The prosecuter doesn't actually have to connect every single dot and answer every single question. And the jury *does* have a responsibility to engage its brain.

The facts:
o This baby's mouth and nose were sealed off
o The mother was the last person seen with her
o The police weren't notified for 31 days
o The mother made up stories so no one (even the grandparents, clo) would look for her
o The mother did everything she could to hinder the investigation


That's enough. She should have been convicted.

If, through a huge stretch of the imagination, the baby died before the tape was applied or at the hands of another person, the mother still severely hindered the investigation. For that alone, because she is the little girl's MOTHER, I *still* think she deserves the death penalty. It wouldn't be for murder, but for some other heinous crime.

But I'm straying. The jury, of course, can't convict if it isn't murder. I'll get back on topic.

You ask if I want "lots of cases where innocent people are hung." Of course not, but that's not relevant. There is no scenario in which Casey Anthony is innocent. She's guilty, all right. We might be able to debate of WHAT she's guilty (although "murder" is the only thing that fits), but in every conceivable scenario, she's guilty of something pretty disgusting.

I'm not an expert on this case but I want to say something which I shouldn't need to say: In a case of this sort, seen before a jury, the defendant MUST be PROVEN guilty BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. I see no evidence that the jury was corrupted or grossly incompetent so, self evidently, the jury couldn't in good faith conclude BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that the baby was murdered. Is the jury supposed to do their job according to the rules or is the jury supposed to appease those who watch TV and want a good show with a good plot and a tidy ending? The prosecutor obviously failed and failed badly to make that case. Or maybe our population needs education on critical thinking...but I don't understand what all the hubub is about given the overall context.

Which would you rather have, an occasional case where a guilty person can't be proven guilty or lots of cases where innocent people are hung?

What I'm still wondering is why our system of "justice" hasn't seen fit to even seriously investigate Wall Street for the events surrounding the 2008 crash and bezzle.
