Death Penalty for Casey Anthony! Not!

[teko]

I do not have an article or a story. This relates to something I heard on the local news this morning and wanted to share with all of you. If you have been following the Casey Anthony trial, then you are aware if convicted the prosecuter is going for the death penalty right? Well I heard on the news this morning that Florida is in the process of trying to make it unconstitutional. In other words, I wonder how that will relate to the anthony trial, when the state is up in arms about the death penalty even being legal in this state? ONLY IN AMERICA!

I also heard her Mom and Dad do not think she is innocent but will fight to the death to save her from being put to death. Per her lawyer.

I dont think she will be convicted of first degree murder anyway, what say you? And how can someone get a lethal injection in a state that is in the process of trying to do away with the death penalty? Any ideas?

She disgusts me.

The woman should fry. Anyone that could do that to a child, let alone their own daughter, doesn't deserve to breath the same air as me.

I hope she burns a long, slow, painful death in hell. She can take a seat right next to Stalin,  Hitler, Mussolini, Bin Laden & Saddam Hussein. She'll fit right in.

You know what, in a way it's a good thing.  With 3 professionals examining her and all saying she is compenent, her defense can't use that to get her off on appeal.  Maybe the defense wanted it and it backfired?  Whatever the case, I'm glad she was found competent..I heard she might testify...that should be interesting.

Aheart just put up she is laughing and giggling in court today  

[teko]

So Saturday they canceled court because a legal issue that turned out to be, a request to deem the defendent competent to continue with the trial. Thy had 3 professionals examine her and she is deemed competent to continue. What is this?

I think she was jealous of the baby. I think she was jealous of the attention her mom and dad gave the baby. When she was not getting attention on her because of the baby and having the responsibility of caring for the child I bet she took it out on the baby. The baby was not old enuff to tell anyone but I definately think she resented and was jealous of her beautiful baby girl. I would bet too that she resented her mom and dad for giving attention to the baby instead of her and felt like they loved Caylee more than her. This woman is a psycopath imo. NO REMORSE from day one.

Well, at the end of the day all I can say is that poor little girl.  Her own mother..it's still almost impossible to believe that a mother could do that.  I know, it happens more often the we care to think about, but still...a mother killing her own child. I can't think of anything more unnatural.  I mean, for most moms, every instinct in our bodies is to protect.  I still can't fathom this.  I just hope she doesn't get off....what a travesty that would be.

At one time I did wonder if the child had been abused and they knew that if an autopsy was performed the abuse would show up, so if she did fall in the pool they would cover it up for that reason ,but I changed my mind she seems guilty to me ..I do believe in the death penalty...too many times they are let out of prison early ... and she is very young she would come up for parole ...

[teko]

They say in order to broach the abuse theory and the pool drowning they will have to put Casey on the stand. If they do I want to watch that part of the trial. I watched mom and her story has changed dramatically since 3 years ago, obviously trying to save their da, brother as well. From a parents view and having grandchildren myself, I can understand after losing a grandchild, I would not want my child to die, but I would want to know the truth. It is hard for me to judge the parents of Casey at this point, it will be interesting to see what they come up with next. All they need is oneperson who sees another theory and she gets off. It is shaping up to look like anothr OJ trial.

Even IF she gets the death penalty, she'll sit in prison for years.  Prisoners DO NOT like baby killers or baby rapers.  She will wish for the death penalty not long after being in her level 3 area.  Mark my words...she will be on suicide watch.
I don't mean to sound rude...but...I think her Dad is a liar! I also think her brother had something to do with this poor baby.  I believe it is a cover-up...the Mom is not aware of it either.  What a messed up family...I thought my family was a mess...uhg.
I'm not bothering to watch the trial...its too heartbreaking.
Shame on this family.

Confession----------  there was a time period in which I was glued to Nancy Grace watching this story.  I remember the interview she had with police after she took them on that wild goose chase to a place she didn't really work ---------------  

I guess she is darn lucky she lives in our country where she has a trial with lawyers that are willing to work with her deceit and give her a chance to walk free.   SHE'S lucky, not us.

I hope that they find her as guilty as they can and she pays the highest price for the death of her sweet daughter.  And I try to cut her parents slack------------  they are trying to save their daughter.  Although . . . she was certainly ready to throw THEM under the bus if it would help her.

Sick.

@ teko, her mom also said she was the one searching for the chloroform not Casey..I would never wish this on myself but If my child ever took the life of his child, there is absolutely NO WAY I can cover that up. I fear GOD too much.....

[R Glass]

If convicted she should be released into General Population. They will take of her

[teko]

I think your right Mrspincince! I caught part of it today when her brother was on the stand and Mom as well. Looking like a cover up to me. I could be wrong tho. I agree with aheart, she needs to remember this for every day of her life.

[MrsPincince]

I think this is going to end up like the OJ trial....Damn shame cus she IS guilty as EVER!!!!

[margypops]

Fry her

[aheart]

I don't want her to get the death penalty! I want her to spend the rest of her natural life (and she's young!) locked up in a little cell in protective custody (no one to talk to) only getting out for one hour a day to walk around a little caged yard, getting two showers a week, putting on the same old prison clothes, lots & lots of time to think about what she did, how she did it, what her life could have been like. And if I had my way her mother would have the cell down the block too! Death is too easy for her.

[adgal]

Well, if  your justice system is anything like ours, for some reason, female murderers get off much easier then male.  We had a husband/wife serial killer team here (google Paul Bernardo & Carla Humulka).  He will be in jail forever, she is now out, married and has a child.  This women gave her own sister to her husband as a "birthday present".  She helped him murder at least 2 young girls, and probably more.  But she testified against him and only spent a short time in prison. Mind boggling.

[teko]

I think she will get off and end up with her lawyer. LOL...I think this girl is a psychopath myself and very narcisistic, did I even spell that right? She has proven that she will do anything to anyone to get what she wants. Regardless of whether she is found guilty or not, she will pay the rest of her life in society. I dont agree with death penalty for her. I think she deserves to think about it every day or her life. That is a curse in and of itself.

[adgal]

Well, first off, there is no question in my mind she is guilty.  And I am one to give the benefit of the doubt.  I wouldn't allow myself to believe she was guilty for a very long time (the thought of a mother killing her own child is almost too much to wrap my head around), but her now claiming that baby drowned and she covered it up, then the duct tape on the skull?  Yeah, not much question I think.

I still in theory am against the death penalty.  Yes, some deserve it, but I have to hold true to my beliefs and I have many reasons for feeling the way I do.  That however, is for a different post.  I do think she should spend the rest of her life in prison.  I can understand where her parents are coming from.  Yes, they believe she is guilty, but I can see why they will fight for her life.  She is still their child and no matter how horrific her crime, they love her.  I think she will wind up in a hospital for the criminally insane or something.  Not saying it's what should happen, but I think that is what will ultimately happen.
