Me, either. If it wasn't deliberate, it surely was accidentally, which means she should at least have been found guilty of felony child endangerment.

Sorry, didn't mean to re-post. When I clicked on my bookmark I didn't see anything posted on the trial. Must have needed to refresh.

I think she's guilty too but there's no proof of how the poor little girl died. There's reasonable doubt, obviously in the eyes of the jury.

I just told DS before that I thought she'd walk lik OJ I think she can still serve time on the lying charges.. Put her in with a bunch of inmates and see how sshe does.

I will refue to watch her on any forthcoming talk shows

How much time for lying ,just slap her hand but you know she has a good memory they said shell have to remmember her little girl rotting,smell for the rest of her hopefully miserable life.

Was it a capital murder case? If the jurors knew a guilty verdict might sentence her to death, they'd be likely to back down if the evidence weren't overwhelmingly compelling.

I, too am shocked. Go figure. she will probably walk, Thursday, with time served for the guilty verdict of lying to the Police. There is one more judge she'll have to face.....someday, and He will already knows her guilt or innocence.

Yes, they could have found her guilty of 1st degree murder, 2nd degree or manslaughter.

I can't believe she wasn't found guilty of at least manslaughter. And we still don't know what really happened - I just wonder how her parents feel. They must be relieved that their daughter won't be sentenced to die or even spend time in prison. They are saying that the guilty charges for lying to police are misdemeanors and she could get time already served.

Now how do they going to find out the truth. There are 3 people who know and I bet at least 1 of them lets it out of the bag in the future.

MSNBC's experts are saying that we need to remember that the jury was not privvy to a lot of the back end story and speculation that we have been and because of that they most likely were not able to convict without a shadow of doubt. I do not doubt that is true, but those of you who watched the trial would be better able to respond to that.

Dotmom is right, the final judge in this case is one who already knows the truth and He is the one that will have the last judgement. If she did it (and I think she did) I hope that Caylee's trusting eyes are the last thing she thinks about each night and that her laughter lives on in Casey's ears for the rest of her life.

If only the spirits could talk. If they could talk look at all the money saved from these rediculous lawyers and commercials.

I'm totally disgusted!!!! If it was an accident, anyone would call the police and report it was such. She didn't, but rather covered it up and lied, lied, lied. From what I'm hearing, even if she gets the full 4 years in jail for lying, she will more than likely serve only one, and that's if they don't let her go free on Thursday from already serving 3 in the slammer. Sick, I say, sick!! Justice was not served.

What a shame. Of course, no one will bother to look for the "real" killer.

Oldgardner... Just as OJ searched all the golf courses looking for Nicole's real killer, Casey will be searching all the Orlando's nightclub's looking for Caylee's real killer.

One lawyer/analyst said tht the minute you pick your jusry your verdict is decided.

I'd hate to be that jury now Dotmom is right

All the defense attorney had to do, was insert- the slightest degree of "reasonable doubt", and that's what he accomplished. just like Johnnie Cochran, in OJ's case. This is sickening. The jury should have gotten her on child abuse charges.
Some times I believe juries do think the defendant is guilty, but because of our justice system, they must let the laws prevail.

Im in shock!!! That baby did not tape up her own mouth and put herself in a bag in a swamp...someone did it and who is the most likely suspect??? I am sickened. I dont know how those that acquited her can ever sleep at night again.I have no faith at all in our justice system.They should hang their heads in shame.Casey is propbably planning a big party as we speak. I feel for her parents,but I hope they dis-own her. I love my kids too,but if one of them did what she did I would want justice at any cost.Casey Anthony harmed so many people,and caused such un told pain. She may have gotten off for now,but she still has to face her maker.

It'll be interesting to see how Casey does out in the real world...away from the protection of guards and bars! I wouldn't want to be her!

An Oklahoma City pharmacist was recently found guilty of killing a punk who was robbing the business. Yet Casey Anthony walks. Thankfully, God is the ultimate judge and jury.

Unless you have served on a jury in a murder trial you really can not begin to understand what goes through your mind during the deliberation phase.

I once served on a jury where a man & woman had been separated for about 10 months and undergoing a bitter divoce until she was found sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in her own bed.

After her death hubby was arrested and brought to trial. The circumstantial evidence against hubby seemed overwhelming and he had no alibi.

During the trial the prosecutor produced a witness that had seen hubby arrive at the house in late afternoon, riding in wifes car. The vehicle had been seen going out and back in twice before midnight but the witness could not testify as to who was driving it.

At noon the next day a housekeeper found the ladies body, and no major signs of a stuggle. The ladies skull had been crushed but no sign of a weapon.

The defense presented a bar tender as a witness who knew the lady very well and he said he had seen her in his bar tht night with another man but to the best of his recollection she had a disagreement with the man and she left the bar alone. The other man leaving about 30 minutes later.

Prosecutor pointed out that her house was locked and he conjectured that the hubby probably still had keys to the house. Could have parked on another street and snuck in through the back door sight unseen.

Defense contended that she had a number of BF during the separation and any one of them could have a key.

We deliberated 5 days and you can rest assured the discussions in the jury room got very heated at times. To tell the truth, I thought hubby was guilty as hell, and I stuck by my guns but there was always that one nagging thought, what if I am wrong, what if somebody else did do the deed and my vote could send an innocent man to the electric chair? After a rough 5 days we returned a verdict of "not guilty". Did I truly think him not guilty, not no, but hell no, but on the other hand, I would sooner see 100 guilty people walk as one innocent go to prison. At least I could sleep with the final descision.

Eight months later another man was arrested for an armed assault and attempted murder of a woman and during questioning he admitted that he had been the one who actually killed the lady from the trial I sat through.

She might have been acquitted by this jury but her life is over. Where is she going to go that someone won't call her baby killer? She threw her own parents and brother under the bus during all of this. All their lives have been destroyed by this. All the lies she has told tells it all. She will have to answer to someone in the end..........

Wonder if Tony Lazarro will take her back to New York with him? I swear I saw him go up to her and give Casey a big hug while she was getting finger printed, he was dressed in a suit and tie. Did they both get away with it?

I was shocked but then again, not shocked. Does that make sense? I think the prosecutor's were a little over zealous going for a murder and death penalty verdict. Based on their evidence, I think they would have been better off going for an involuntary manslaughter charge. I think it was an accident....not accidental drowning but I think she wanted to party, tried the chloroform and taped the mouth in case she woke up and instead, the poor little thing never woke up. I really don't think she set out to kill her child but we'll never know.

The system has failed once again....Even if it was an accident, which I don't believe, you don't throw away the body...Isn't there a law about abusing a corpse?????I certainly hope the people that served on that jury are able to sleep at night....I'm sure Ms Anthony will have no problem......

they're asking for porch lights on for caylee tonight...

dAid you see mom & dad get up and leave at the end??

As I said on another thread, Casey would do well to stay out of the public eye - if not, IMHO, she will be here today and gone tomorrow - someone will permanently do away with her.

Casey Anthony is dancing on her child's grave. But dance while she may, remember OJ and even Micheal Jackson . God is not mocked . She will be judged and will not get away with the lies she has been allowed to get away with. That jury could have at least charged her for littering. Such a miscarriage of justice . The jury knew they were wrong. This is why they are hiding.

They are smart to hide. There are a lot of angry people out there who don't understand how the legal system works. It's not the jurors fault - they are obligated to make their verdict based on the FACTS, not what they think might have happened.

On my Facebook I see people saying they hope Casey gets shot in the head. It's pretty awful. I hope none of the jurors face retaliation.

There was no evidence to convict on. It doesn't matter if one thinks she did it. No DNA, no blood, no evidence that she abused the child, witnesses for the defense that were quite easily able to shoot down the prosecution's theories.

Being a liar doesn't make one a murderer. Neither does being a partier or a bad mother. if that were the case a good 20% or more of mother's would be doing time.

I don't know if she did it or not but I know that charged based on speculation and whether people find someone likable or not do not serve justice. Good for the jury for doing what's right. Our legal system must be based on facts, not emotions to work.

They said she may get out of jail Thursday, oh my gosh..as I sit here thinking about today the verdict Im still in shock.I just cannot believe all you have to do is look on internet of her neckin with girls,guys,drinking,partying and you know the little girl was in the way.Enjoy your beautiful life I hope it can be what you want after killing little Caylee.Remember her dead,how she died,the smell...Shell be in her own prison.

I agree with everyone. What I thought of was what poor Caylee was thinking at the end. Was it "Mommy - help me" or "Mommy - why"

RIP Caylee

Being a liar doesn't make one a murderer.

Insert Husband or Father into your above statement and you might change your mind.

There was less evidence in the Scott Petersen case but .. because he was a guy who 'slept around', lied and didn't 'act' as if he cared that his wife was missing .. He was convicted!

Was it Nancy Grace who said the devil is dancing tonight?

The doubt is unreasonable. All reason says she is guilty!! Reasonable doubt says she was negligent, and then covered it up!! Sadly it is not against the law to not love your child, to chose your boy friend over your child, to not miss your child. Legal "neglect, endangerment" is far beyond what most would think. The question is will there be a civil case? Is there a grandmother, dad someone who will miss this child enough to take mom to court for the loss they have to endure due to her "mothering"? Like OJ she would lose in Civil court. They could at least tie her tubes so she doesn't ever do this again!!

As I said in another post, Our justice system is only as good as how much money you have to pay for a high priced lawyer. How many guilty people have gotten off because they had a slick mouth piece. Example: OJ, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, many athletes. Now the two so-called celebe bimbos didn't murder, but have thumbed their noses time and again at the law and got off. So if you plan to break the law, make sure you have a lot of $$$ that will get you off, to break the law another day.

Good lawyers do make a big difference and there's generally a correlation between good lawyers and how expensive they are (not always but usually). To me, that doesn't really show any flaw in the legal system because verdicts are based on the evidence. It's the lawyers job to present the evidence in a way to benefit their clients and some lawyers are better than others. Prosecution and defense is a lot more complicated than people believe. I see nothing wrong with hiring the best lawyer that you can. People always have the option to represent themselves.

It's sort of like with doctors. If you had to have brain surgery and you had the choice between the local surgeon and the top neurosurgeon in the world, wouldn't you want the best? But if insurance didn't cover him and only the rich can afford it, does that mean it's wrong for them to pursue it?

Not Guilty does not mean innocent, by any means. Like lazypup, I, too, served on a jury that found the defendant Not Guilty. Our deliberations were much as lazypup described hers, very heated at times, but we could not convict because there was not absolute proof of his guilt. My case was not murder, though. Emotions and hunches are not enough to convict, thank goodness.

Good post, lazypup.

Listening to the defense lawyer yesterday irritated me when he said Caylee "passed on" too soon. She didn't pass on, she was murdered.

"They could at least tie her tubes so she doesn't ever do this again". Please, what a ridiculous statement. Are we living in Nazi Germany, where people are sterilized just because we want them to be?

Emotions are really running high on this verdict. It was the prosecution's job to prove their case, and they unfortunately didn't or couldn't. I don't think it helped to have Ashton laughing and smirking in court. Perhaps he should have retired before this case, not after.

As I stated on another post, the jury didn't have that CSI moment that would exonerate their own guilt for having to convict her.

Anyone who would agree to be sequestered for at least one month on a high-profile case doesn't have a life, or is looking to cash in after the trial, or is insane or all three.

CSI and the movies have ruined the credibility of circumstantial evidence.
