I thought you said earlier that she was culpably negligent. If so, how can you say now that the jury made the right verdict? Would you have accepted manslaughter as a compromise?

Respectfully, IMO your position is contradictory. Yes she knew she did not work in Universal Studios. She was in control of the situation and at the same time was not grounded? No she was NOT in control of the situation. She had been trying to get away with her lies, and as she usually...

The additional evidence that Casey did it was that Caylee's decomposing body was in Casey's car.

If by being out of touch with reality you mean that she could get away with her lies, then we are talking about two different things by the use of that term. Casey was the sort of person who had a history of getting away with lying. She was good at it and she knew it. That is the kind of...

As per jury instructions: "A reasonable doubt is not a mere possible doubt, a speculative, imaginary or forced doubt." Just because there is a possibility of something occurring does not mean that it constitutes a reasonable possibility. IMO, there is plenty of evidence in the case to...

Compartmentalizing, pretending that problems don't exist or will go away, and rationalizing your behavior are all things that IMO Casey did but are totally different from not being in touch with reality. Do you truly believe she thought that Zanny existed? Do she truly believe that she...

I was responding to a prior post that argued they believed that Casey WAS culpably negligent, and was asking for what charge would those who believe she is guilty (in my case of 1st degree murder) would agree to. I understand your arguments are different. Yes not all drownings are...

Most respectfully, there is NO evidence that Casey was not in touch with reality, certainly not in the trial, and not even outside of the trial evidence. 1. No evidence of this was presented in the case. On the contrary the defense admitted that Casey was a liar, which is something quite...

I believe she is guilty of 1st degree murder. As per the jury instructions below by your scenario of culpable negligence (leading to death), being in the phone or the computer and not watching Caylee, followed by failing to call 911 is IMO reckless disregard for human life. Thus, Casey would be...

What charge do you believe she is guilty of? Why? Or do you believe she is guilty but just not proven?

The main faultline I see between those here who after carefully examining the evidence, support the not guilty verdict and those who don't, is their belief that it was not proven BARD that Caylee's decomposing body was in Casey's trunk, versus those like myself who believe the evidence was...

There was significant direct evidence that there was unusual amounts of chloroform in the air and carpet of the trunk. There was NO direct evidence of an accident, only weak circumstantial evidence. While I believe the preponderance of the evidence points to it I would have to agree that there...

Absence of evidence, is not by itself, evidence of absence. Yes some in the garage and in the back seat did not smell decomposition, but those with most expertise and who examined the trunk carefully did. It is NOT true that every single piece of evidence from the trunk has reasonable doubt...

The judge explicitly instructed the jury that KH statement could NOT be used as an evidence of an accident.

I agree that there are variations in how people grieve. But in the examples you describe above both women went out of control and acted differently than they had before. This is quite the opposite of Casey's behavior. None of her friends found any difference in her behavior. A lack of...

With all due respect, IMO you misinterpret the law. Yes there are a lot of unanswered questions but the when, where, and how questions do not have to be answered to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. The what and the who questions are the only ones that matter. As we have seen from other...

Can a garbage bag lead to a strong smell after two years? As for GA I think he always suspected Casey and that is the reason he didn't call 911. My recollection of the defense expert on banding is that he tried to simulate banding by other means and found hairs that looked similar to...

The great majority of your question are about how, when, and where, which according to jury instructions, do not need to be answered. The prosecution case is not perfect granted. But not perfect does not mean IMO reasonable doubt. I don't need to know the exact when, where, and how to...

I agree that there is some questions about exactly where the duct tape was placed in the beginning. But this is not sufficient, IMO, to discount this as evidence of murder. It was proven, IMO, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the duct tape belonged to the Anthony family. The scenario that...
