I've always found the American justice system to be terribly flawed. Who in his right mind thinks that 12 random incompetent individuals should be giving a verdict on a case?

As I stated earlier, they could have found her guilty of manslaughter, but chose not to on a lack of evidence.


They tried aggravated manslaughter.  They could have gone with voluntary or involuntary manslaughter.  There's a difference. Probably would have stood a better chance.  Even then, the big question is how did Caylee die?  Even now, with mom dodging a bullet, there is still no way of knowing exactly how the little girl died.

It just racks my brain.  Mom waited so long to tell someone (she probably NEVER would have said anything), the girl is found in the woods, and she lies about everything and everyone related to the incident (my kid is with the nanny. my kid is in the park. the nanny has kidnapped my kid and lets me talk to her on the phone. etc. etc. etc.).  I just don't get it.

Well, maybe if she hadn't left the little girl's corpse to rot in a swamp, they could've established the cause of death in an autopsy.

In America, unlike other places, its "Innocent until proven guilty".

Yes, in this case its aggravating as there was tons of circumstantial evidence pointing to her killing her daughter. However, it was just that -circumstantial. The prosecution did a horrible job of throwing everyone at Casey and didn't try to make the case simple, and provide the best evidences. When you do that, your not going to have a fantastic go as the defense can poke holes in the circumstantial evidence.
Is the American justice system flawed? Yes. But I still believe that, overall, it provides good outcomes. Eventually, the court of public opinion will have its day against Casey, and we will find justice somehow, some way.

What were you expecting exactly? A video of her killing the child? 'Cause in that case, it'll be hard to convict anyone.

Lolz America's justice system is a piece of shit.


Why?  Would you rather we just locked up everybody accused of a crime?

We have the absolute best justice system. (though far from perfect)  We do not have the best laws or prison system - this is an important distinction.

And nobody should ever, ever, say the justice system is bad because somebody they think is guilty goes free.  "better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer"  This is the beauty of our justice system.

Plus, you don't know what went on in that courtroom, or that jury room.  You don't have any more evidence than the media showed you.  You have no right to form an opinion on this case - you weren't there!

 

It seems to me that this is a simple case of "Beyond a reasonable doubt."  While it seems likely that she is guilty, it is not certain.  Therefore, she should not be sent to prison.

This is the most idiotic thing I've heard today.

while I agree that it's screwed up that she got off, I can imagine it leading to more hell than jail. I can imagine her getting harassed everywhere she goes and probably getting the shit beaten out of her a few times. No guy in their right mind would want to date a woman who "killed" her child. And it's not like it's something that she can really hide...this case has been very well publicised over the last few years.

She'll probably recieve police protection, be relocated, get an identity change etc.

Makes a lot more sense then having a judge make the choice.

1 Judge systems invariably end up with the powerful eaislly beign able to get away with things and those of "lower classes" and certain circumstances getting screwed because they aren't ever judged by their piers, but instead some Judge who probably has never been lower class, and likely spends all his time with high brow people.  The kind of person who won't understand a crime someone committed in the past or something someone else did while desperate.

Jury's allow for many different perspectives to be brought so that more perspectives can be weighted and a better outcome can be had... additionally it's a lot harder to bribe anonymous jurors then it is one well known judge.

Agreed.  Instead of using "Psychonauts" as the related game, the OP should have used "Psycho-Fox"!
