The Caylee Anthony Case

[Guyzerr]

I agree that's why I stayed out of this thread..

So here we are posting. Why? Are we that bored? I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open but it's too early to hit the fart sack.

Would someone please post some entertaining shit in this thread.

For which her release date was set for July 13, 2011..

The high end of the maximum sentence allowed by law for the crimes she was convicted of.

 

[Tangerine]

Thats because in our twisted society, some folks think if you are charged with MURDER, you stay in jail. go figure.....

And some people STAY in jail for years for crimes they were later proven to have not committed. So there's that. Let's hope none of us ever wind up in THAT group.

And it is very possible. I wonder what the comments from some of these folks would be from the opposite side of the bars.

So was the judge making his own point with the extra few days?

but that number is pretty small, compared to the number of crimes committed by those who have already served time for something

Even 1 is too many by my standards especially if it was me. You on the other hand.

God, the fucked up standards that some of you around here have make my head spin.

Agreed..

You mean like this guy.. Yah I remember this and people wanted this guy hanged by his Yahoos.. You gotta wonder. Its not like in 1983 was the dark ages either.. And don't get me wrong this guy was far from a Saint, but he fit the bill for the required situation.. :thumbdown

I think it was a mathematical thing. She was given 4 years. They deduct a certain amount for good behavior for ALL inmates - no matter who they are. That deduction plus the days she's already been in jail equaled a 7/13 release date.

Isn't this special.

I know, I know, some will say after all they've been through they deserve the money.:willy_nilly:

Anthony jurors speak, but some carry price tag


(CBS News) Some of the jurors who acquitted Casey Anthony of murdering her 2-year-old daughter have started discussing how emotionally draining the verdict was. Others are saying nothing at all. And still others are holding out for a big payday before offering up any jury room revelations.
According to published reports, a publicist for an unnamed juror contacted broadcast news networks demanding a five-figure payment in exchange for his story.

"Our client -- a married, college-educated, 33-year-old white male with two young children -- is willing to consider granting one or more media interviews so long as the opportunities are paid," North Carolina-based publicist Rick French wrote in a note to the networks, according to TMZ.

The New York Times reports that one network executive said the proposed fee was $50,000.

French admitted to TMZ that paid interviews are "always a sticky subject" but insisted his client would not "entertain any offers that don't include compensation for a myriad of reasons."

The first named juror to break her silence was Jennifer Ford, who granted an interview to ABC News. ...

And any media outlet that pays it is stupid and deserves to be boycotted by the public. But you know what? They will pay the money and see huge windfalls in ratings and revenue when the interviews air? You know why? Because the very people who are so vocal in their hatred for all things Casey Anthony will be glued to the TV oblivious to the fact that THEY are the ones who have created this disgusting circus in the first place.

And it doesn't piss you off in the least bit that the networks made MILLIONS by airing a public feed?
Yes, that's right, Florida paid for the cameras and sent out the signal for free as a public service only to have the networks air commercials every 5 minutes raking in millions in profit.

I'm done with talking about this on here.

Probably a good idea

Now the good ol' state of Florida wants to bill Casey Anthony for the cost of the case.

I haven't heard that...but are we talking for the cost of prosecution or for the wasted resources and manpower used in the search for Caylee??? I would agree w/ the latter.

:24: I can't stand Nancy Grace, but my dad was watching her and I saw that woman! I nearly DIED laughing.
CHILL OUT LAYDEE! :surrender

Susan Moss...that's her name. I had to google "loud mouth woman guest Nancy Grace annoying" to get it to come up, LOL

i turned off the TV after the verdict was announced. i dont want to see or hear anymore about it. i'll just glance at people's news feeds and what not. ive accepted it and i know nothing can be done about it. live and let live

:homo: I change the channel when something about her comes on.

I posted this on FB, thought I'd share it here:

All the religious pro-life people in my office had a COW that Casey Anthony got off scot free. One made the comment that Casey ought to be "fixed." I threw in "this is why when people want an abortion, you should let them." It got real quiet real quick.

Nice point, Janie.

I'm curious to know how many people think there is enough evidence to warrant the mothers execution.

I would think it's safe to say those of us who agree there wasn't enough evidence to convict (again, different from wishing she had been convicted and that the state had been able to meet the burden of proof) would say there wasn't enough evidence for her execution.

It really doesn't matter what you feel. She is 200% innocent until the prosecution proves otherwise.

*shakes head* Obviously this is one of those "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH????????????" type moments. Unlike others who are so emotionally charged that they think the jury should've convicted based on emotions and feelings instead of evidence, I actually believe the jury acted correctly. She is innocent in a court of law...good for her. But unless I woke up in some other world today, I am still entitled to my opinion...and my opinion is that Casey Anthony is a sociopath who was involved in the death of her child. Just as you are entitled to your opinion.

Plus her life is pretty much ruined now anyways. She is not that "free".

I'll cry for her later. She came out of it better than Caylee did.

Covering up an accident - no evidence to support it

Except that the defense's version of events is that her daughter drowned and she and her father covered it up.

On a side note, I find it hilarious that this thread had like 3 pages until the verdict came out...LMFAO

I understand all of that but he could have sentenced her to time served and released her immediately which probably would have happened in any other case.

The good time equation is 5 days served for every 6 days sentenced, at least in my state. That's a department of corrections thing, I suspect it may be universal.

That time is immediately given, plus the jail credit. Keep in mind she was jailed for other charges, which may have affected the out date (in essence, that may be the reason she was not released immediately.)

Also, I am not aware if she is on probation for those fraud charges? Jailers who are on probation are sometimes scheduled for release on days it suits the needs of their probation officer, because an interview providing detailed explanations of the court's requirements has to take place upon release.

Just a few possibilities. I would not be surprised if he had her stay in jail one week for her protection :dunno
He could have made the sentence run concurrent to her jail credit, and she could have served 4 years, but he chose not to.
