LDB's biggest fear
Posted: Jul 7, 2011
If you will recall, Ms. Burdick's greatest fear was "common sense being lost." That's exactly what happened. I just heard a woman who was protesting outside the courthouse and she summed up what I feel completely. She said that jurors should be instructed strongly on using common sense, and not just looking for reasonable doubt. I know this was mentioned during closing arguments, but it went out the window.
I feel this jury failed us. If common sense is not to be used we may as well feed all information into a computer, press Enter and wait for the verdict. The only way anyone is 100% certain as to each and every detail of a crime is to be present and witness the crime. Common sense in a case such as this with no DNA is essential.
It is not only that Casey lied, but what did she lie about? She deliberately lied about the whereabouts of her daughter, which of course involved inventing people to mislead the investigators and take the focus off of herself. When you have nothing to hide, you hide nothing. I know DNA was lost due to the storm in Florida and little Caylee's body sitting in a swamp for so long, but to let this woman go free is an injustice to not only Caylee, but everyone. Just my two cents. She gets out next Wednesday.

No common sense - wimt
[ In Reply To ..]So true. Common sense was very much lost here. I truly believe the jurors were looking for "beyond a shadow of a doubt" and not reasonable doubt. They really didn't know what they were supposed to do back there. I'm just so sickened by all of this, especially after seeing the way Casey looked walking into court today, hair down, smirk on her face. Ugh. I believe she was thumbing her nose at everyone now that the act is over.
I was not able to watch. What was her sentence? Was she let go? - alias
[ In Reply To ..]please let us know the sentence. tx
CA - Christine
[ In Reply To ..]As I said in my post above, she gets out of prison next Wednesday. If you mean what was her original sentence she was found not guilty on all charges except for four charges related to supplying false information to the police.
No common sense - mt1347
[ In Reply To ..]Marcia Clark on Piers Morgan Tuesday night said something I thought was very appropriate. She said that jurors often take "reasonable doubt" and make it into "reason to doubt," which are very different things. I live in Florida and this verdict embarrasses and outrages me. We have a lot of crazies down here and if Casey is stupid enough to stay in FL, she will not be safe. I have my doubts about her defense team, too. I'm not wishing violence on anyone, just saying pple here in FL have been living with this case for 3 years and plenty of folks are TICKED OFF about this.
Casey has no means of support and very little education - She doesn't have many choices.
[ In Reply To ..]Unless George, Cindy and Lee want to bankroll her relocation, I see her in her little room in their home dependent on the people she lied to and about. The question then becomes where does a recognizable psychopathic liar with a felony conviction get a job to support herself?
I see a dim future for her and on top of that, she has to fear for her life wherever she goes.
She owes the IRS approximately $70,000 - in back taxes. Her new home
[ In Reply To ..]will be Federal Prison.
The jurors/alternate jurors have made statements - that I interpret to be
[ In Reply To ..]incriminating statements, that they did not responsibly fulfill their obligations as jurors. One juror made a statement that I interpret to be a clear-cut violation of jury instructions.
unreasonable doubt - mtmt
[ In Reply To ..]I agreee. They blew it. They continue to say there was reasonable doubt but on the other hand, they said they had to go by the evidence presented. Their "reasonable doubt" was the drowning. With that in mind, and there being no evidence for drowning, how could they use that (the drowning) in determining their decision? It's hypocritical, to say the least. If all cases were tried like that, all a defense lawyer has to do is throw a theory out there and BAM there's the reasonable doubt.
On another note, I have a gut feeling that George and Cindy are not entirely innocent. I think they were involved in covering up and obstructing justice. I think they knew from the time they found the car that Caylee was dead (George got it out of Casey) and they knew where she was tossed like a bag of trash in the woods. That entire family is twisted. I don't think George and Cindy are in the clear just yet.
My opinion of George & Cindy - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I think that they are parents that got drug into some ugly stuff by their ungrateful sociopathic daughter. There is nothing to suggest that any of the stuff said about George actually happened and, according to someone who was Casey's babysitter (as Casey called her) while she was out on bail, George tried to browbeat what happened out of Casey.
There have been reports of altercations between Cindy and Casey, some of which got physical, but it also sounds like Casey knew exactly which buttons to push to make everyone else look the villain and herself as the poor li'l victim, including threats to withhold Caylee from George and Cindy.
