Just the clichéd drivel that you've apparently decided that you need to bring to the table. I get that you think you're some kind of edgy savant, but it just doesn't ring true.
Oh, is that what I think? Good to know. Now that you've put me in my place with your towering insight, how about addressing the actual statement? Which wasn't about your opinion on my general posting style, but what your issue was with the items you referred to. I mean, at least I think that's what I had in mind, but if I'm misinformed then feel free to correct me.

IMO, the pictures on Google don't do any of the two justice.

No, but still pretty enough.
All along I felt that the state failed to prove murder. All they were able to prove, was that a little girl died. Not how, or by who's hand. Now I imagine she'll get time served because I doubt that 4 counts of obstruction/lying to police will be more than 3 years.

That's probably is what will happen. She spent 3 years in jail awaiting trial, the judge will probably sentence her to an additional 6 months, probably time served, with formal probation, fines, etc.
The standard of reasonable doubt wasn't met. Her behavior in the month after her daughter was gone was questionable. There was more evidence in Scott Peterson's trial in his wife's murder.
Don't care.

My understanding is that she was convicted only of a few misdemeanor charges, each of which carries like a maximum of 1 year. I don't know the specifics of those charges, but they're relatively minor and basically that she didn't come forward with some bits of information when the police first began investigating the presumed disappearance of her daughter. The jury clearly didn't buy that she didn't know her daughter was dead. They just (IMO correctly) did not think that the prosecution proved that she murdered her.

I didn't really follow the case at all until today when I did some quick browsing around after hearing the verdict.
My honest opinion is that Casey Anthony did actually murder her daughter.
However, I feel like the prosecution just couldn't prove it. I haven't watched the closing arguments yet, but it just seems to me that there was a ton of circumstantial evidence. They had a million and one things that led a person to believe that she did it, but they never had anything that could prove Beyond the Shadow of a Doubtâ„¢ that she put her daughter to sleep with chloroform and suffocated her to death by covering her mouth with duct tape.
I think the damning thing for the prosecution here is that the body wasn't found sooner. If they could prove a cause of death or even that it was murder and not an accident, then the prosecution likely wouldn't have had much of a challenge. But that's still just "what if".
Even still, I think that she probably got off too lightly. She's likely to get time served, meaning immediate release on Thursday. Given the evidence, she should have at least gotten involuntary manslaughter, I feel.
But that's just my opinion. As Locke said, I wasn't in the courtroom, I don't know what went on.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I didn't really follow the trial, besides what I've been skimming on the internet. However, I was watching MSNBC today and they mentioned that there was information that was brought up while the jury wasn't in court. It was brought up between the two sides in front of the judge, so they mentioned at this point the public might know more than the jury did when they concluded the case.

Shaowstrike, that picture not only made me laugh, but also the family member who happened to be walking behind me. Kudos, good sir!
I didn't follow the trial, but logged onto facebook this morning and was amused to find most of the girls who took a job of babymaker right out of high school all yelling about some ***** that needs to die in hell and how killing your baby is perfectly legal in the U.S.A. now.
I think the worst part of this is the unbelievably annoying calls for slacktivism coming from those who are trying to sound important by jumping in on the hype. I had barely heard the name Casey Anthony before yesterday, and I don't much care if I ever hear it again. The last thing I want is a thousand invites on Facebook to some nonsensical "leave your porch lights on for the poor child" event that is designed for nothing more than to make middle class people feel good about themselves. It's like they think they matter.

Yeah, I don't think you can appeal unless there's definitive proof that the jury was tampered with. At least, that's most states. Florida could be (and usually is) just weird like that.

Ugh, indeed. As a retort, I copyed what bsphill said above. Lulz are ensuing even now, I'm sure.

She's guilty, though not necessarily of first degree murder. Regardless, I err on the side of caution when there's no hard evidence. I think the jury did the right thing. I'd rather see her go free than have some woman who already lost a child through no fault of her own get sentenced to death. I don't like it, and when a kid dies, it's natural to want someone to pay for it...but again, evidence. I think the police work in this case should be on trial next.
