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

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Tell me she will have to serve jail time...at least some!

[sportjunkie07]

Charge 3:

“And the Grand Jurors of the County of Orange, duly called, impaneled and sworn to inquire and true presentment make in and for the body of the County of Orange, upon their oaths do present that CASEY MARIE ANTHONY, between the 15th day of June, 2008 and the 16th day of July, 2008, in said County and Satate, did willfully or by culpable negligence, in violation of Florida Statites 782.07(3) and 827.0393), while a caregiver to Caylee Marie Anthony, a child under 18 years of age, fail or omit to provide CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY with the care, supervision and services necessary to maintain CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY’S physical and metal health, or fail to make a reasonable effort to protect CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY from abuse, neglect or exploitation by another person, and in so doing caused the death of CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY.”

What I learned today: want to kill someone, go to Orlando.

Nice job Florida...not only do you screw up national elections but you screwed up the biggest murder case this decade

This should be reserved for the Pinellas county jurists & not all of Floridians.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Anyone think she didn't do it? I understand the "reasonable doubt" and all, but seriously?

I'm with you...I think I would have done an unconstitutional job of being a juror and just resorted to common sense on this one!

[10fttall]

What did she even lie about if she didn't do anything wrong??

Dosn't matter, that doesn't cut it as evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
And it's not like her lawyer did anything that special. The prosecution didn't have much, if any, evidence that PROVED she did ANYTHING.

[Prosperity]

All I can say is wow...so does this verdict amount to OJ's verdict?

the prosecutions case here was much weaker than the case against OJ

my gut tells me she was somehow involved with the child's death (defense admits to this) but that she didn't intentionally murder her... what actually happened? we'll never know. The prosecutions case was mostly founded on trying to prove one of the other felonies so that they could get her w/ felony murder (felony murder is when you are guilty of murder if anyone dies as a result of your felony... accidental or not), but they couldn't do that, so the felony murder was out, and they didn't have a case for garden variety murder, so that's that.

The State did a good job presenting their case.

It's the cops that screwed this up by :

1) Not searching the area JUST a couple hundred feet from her home, thus allowing the body to deteriorate beyond abililty to determine cause of death, etc,

2) Blowing off Ray Kronk, who found the body, by ignoring him several times, thus allowing the body to deteriorate beyond abililty to determine cause of death, etc,

I barely followed the case but I can't be convinced given what I've heard that she actually did it. That said, I know that when things seem as fishy as they did w/ the circumstances, etc, then she probably did something wrong. I would never be able to be a juror on a case like that. I imagine a lot of them went against their gut instincts for what seems like the "right" verdict.

Everyone in here was really so sure she murdered her child? I didn't follow it that closely, but I heard a lot of information that would have made it hard for me to convict on murder charges.

I get that. I'm actually also really asking what she lied about though.

[Unforgiven]

TV commentators saying she most likely wont get a prison sentence.

Not premeditated. But she certainly was the one who made her child stop living.

[Mickalino]

What she did during "the 31 days"

[MissU28]

I get that. I'm actually also really asking what she lied about though.

She lied about her daughter being with some nanny that didn't actually exist- the cops followed up on that and the woman they found with that name had no idea who casey anthony was and I think was suing her for libel
