NBC: Jury has reached a verdict in Casey Anthony trial [NOT GUILTY]

[Corcaigh]

If a prosecutor does it (tries to prosecute someone who they willingly know is innocent) I would imagine they would be punished.

What would they be charged with?

The folks who are looking for a conviction are the ones who need to make their case.

Or you could convict innocent people and ruin their lives.

Alright see ya in court in couple of years pal.

Does anyone know how many children are murdered each year? The only number I could find was one on Wiki that said there were almost 1500 child homicides in 2008.

Just wondering where all the outrage is for the rest of them...that being said, Casey wasn't convicted of murder, but I'm sure she'll rot in hell.

The accused murder, cover-up and partying days after the event goes beyond most other murders of children (not that they are any less horrible or sad), IMO.

If you're looking to convict the innocent, you've got the wrong man.

What would they be charged with?

The Duke rape case prosecutor received jail time and was disbarred. I'm sure those students are going to sue his butt for every dime he has too.

What was he charged with? I don't think it was "believing that they were innocent".

Exactly. Plenty of parents abuse or otherwise harm their children. This is just another case, and one that is getting far too much attention. Murderers and rapists, and especially serial killers are who I am interested in. People who you know will do it again if given the chance. I don't see her as someone who is going to find someone else's child and kill it too. I could break Casey Anthony over my knee. That is why I couldn't care less about her.

From Wikipedia:

On April 12, 2007, the attorney general, in declaring Evans, Finnerty, and Seligmann innocent, also called Nifong a "rogue prosecutor". Nifong was ordered disbarred on June 16, 2007 after the bar's three-member disciplinary panel unanimously found him guilty of fraud, dishonesty, deceit or misrepresentation; of making false statements of material fact before a judge; of making false statements of material fact before bar investigators, and of lying about withholding exculpatory DNA evidence.

On August 31, 2007, Nifong was convicted of criminal contempt for knowingly making false statements during the criminal proceedings. Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith III sentenced Nifong to a single day in jail.

RT @KimKardashian: WHAT!? CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY! I am speechless! ME: your dad helped get OJ off! HOW R U SPEECHLESS?

What would they be charged with?

I don't know! To me that is deliberately framing someone for a crime they didn't commit. Fraud? no. I don't know. Just was saying it's part of a defense lawyer's job to defend the defendant, even if they're guilty, but a prosecutor is not expected to prosecute the innocent.

[Dan T.]

So Casey Anthony accused her father of negligently letting his beloved granddaughter Cayley Anthony drown in his swimming pool and then for some bizarre, unexplainable reason, duct taped the dead girl's mouth and dumped the body in a swamp to make it look like a murder. (This same man who lovingly buried family pets would dump his granddaughter in a swamp?!?) Then she claims that her father AND her brother sexually abused her.

Imagine the next Anthony Thanksgiving dinner.


Casey Anthony, through bizarre, pathological lying and continuing narcissic manipulation of her family, managed to get away with murder.

Now THAT is funny.

[Chump Bailey]

What was he charged with?

Ethics charges by the state bar associaiton for witholding DNA evidence and making misleading statements to the court.

Sweet I got a guilty person. Now I just need to make sure you can't make the case take place in Florida.

And that shows you how seriously 'the system' takes it when a prosecutor behaves both unprofessionally and illegally on multiple matters.
