When one follows the Casey Anthony story, it is clear that everyone you run into has an opinion of her guilt or innocence. It has become a charged atmosphere in public opinion, for sure. When I first started writing about the case and some of the events surrounding it, the one thing that shocked me was the inability of most people to even consider some other ideas that have not been part of their understanding of all of it. People simply weren’t able to have honest debate about a lot of stuff that has happened surrounding the story.

Everyone points their fingers and says, “This is why Casey is guilty” and “Here are the reasons why I believe she did it.” What pops up its nefarious little head, is the fact that most all of the reasons why people say she’s guilty has nothing to do with any evidence that proves she did it. Where’s the smoking gun? Where in all this hubbub and cacophony is the proof that she did it? Now I have heard countless reasons why people think she did it, but not one of them is based in any concrete fact of proof for the public that shows it, just conjecture and self-imposed opinions that make one believe she is guilty.

People will say she did it for this reason or that. Some say that no one would react the way she did or do the things she did, after her daughter was missing. Why didn’t she react this way or why didn’t she react that way? Why did she lie? It must mean she’s guilty. People will say, if my little girl was gone, this is what I would do. All valid points based and rooted in common sense. People just have a gut feeling and that’s that. They would have never done this or they would have never done that.

However, besides amateur Murder She Wrote types, no one has produced a single piece of evidence that she did do this. There is no smoking gun. There are holes in the prosecution’s case that you could drive a giant bulldozer through and a mob-like mentality to hang Casey for sure, but no direct evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt that she did it. Any defense attorney worth anything at all could have a field day with all of this. This entire case appears to just be circumstantial and conjecture. All of it.

There are certain people who, thanks to the press and others, don’t personally like Casey and want her to burn for their own personal feelings they have for her. I even heard one guy say his wife hates Casey because she is so...

Is it me, or is this clown C. Rich running all over the internet trying to make a name for himself? He's a terrible writer and a total shill. Pay him no mind.

C Rich - I am not sure if you really believe your statement, or if you are making it for the sake of controversy. Either way, I agree with most people who think you are a bit of a boob.

Not everyone following this case has jumped on the "let's lynch Casey" bandwagon. There are those of us who have reserved judgement and will wait until all evidence has been revealed at trial before we "lynch" her.

That said, whether by her hand, or another's, she is complicit in the death of her daughter, and therefore, she is just as responsible as she would be if she killed her with her own hands. There are too many facts supporting the theory that she is in fact guilty of many crimes, and NO evidence to support her innocence.

Your remark about women don't like her because she is attractive sounds like something you either made up, or found support for on a teeny-bopper blog. I've met many people (mostly women) who have followed this case from the start and most have never mentioned her looks. There have been a few who like to name-call, but the overwhelming majority couldn't care less. You can count me among them. You obviously have little understanding of people, and women in particular. Venting anger is not the same as wanting someone put to death for being skinny! How absurd.

With regard to the duct tape. I can think of a few reasons why someone may have put duct tape on a dead body. The fact that you can not think of any reason at all and actually state the following:

 "Because Casey did all those odd things and said all of that, doesn’t mean she murdered her own child. If in fact the child was duct taped around the mouth, it means that the child was still alive. No one duct tapes a corpse to shut it up. The presence of duct tape around this child’s mouth destroys almost 75% of the public’s theories on how Casey did it, before “that evidence” was revealed."

You also stated:

"Being a liar or doing weird and unexpected things does not make someone a murderer. You cannot convict someone of murder on speculation and theory."

Who have you met that you know to be on jury for this case? I thought blogs were for people to voice their opinions, not to convict, execute or sentence alleged criminals. Perhaps you are confused. The trial will take place in a court room in front of a Judge, not on a public blog. People are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing on the blogs about this case. They discuss theory, conjecture, evidence, and their own personal experiences. They examine their own feelings and the basis for those feelings.

As for being "vengeful and barbaric," I can think of nothing more vengeful and barbaric than to take part in the murder of your own child.

A great thinker, you are not.

 

 

SerieS....good to see you!! 

As usual, your comments are "on the money" when it comes to common sense, and your insight into the "facts" (as we know them) would make you the perfect juror to sit on this case.

As to Mr. Rich, I have read his earlier comments and have agreed with his theory that the potential  jury pool has been tainted  by so many "leaks" in this case.  My obvious question is: if the State had such a solid case as they claim to have, why the necessity of "leaking" their version of the "facts" about the evidence? 

I'm not implying that she wasn't involved; what I am asking is: what "lack of evidence" is the State so worried about that they have the need to "reveal" so much well in advance of the actual trial? 

Either they are not so confident in their ability to obtain a guilty conviction or, they are trying to leverage a plea deal by the use of daily/weekly "bombshells"..........either way, I am looking forward to the "truth" at trial and I applaud the Defense for not backing down and holding the State to their burden of proof!
