Reply To: Anthony's Verdict

cherrybim- “Casey did not testify, so we don’t know anything from her directly.”

I was talking on the logic that she was killed accidentally, like the defense claimed. If it was an accident -A parent calls 911 if they see their kid drowned -maybe they can revive the kid! So this claim of the defense is bogus.

“Logic says.”

My logic says if she thinks noone will find the body -there is no reason for her to put on a grieving mother act!

“Exactly, a guilty person will leave some type of physical evidence, and there was none.”

Yes, a body with tape in the mouth is called physical evidence.

Do you mean she had to hang onto the rest of the tape and the choloroform until she got caught -she couldn’t possibly throw these away? And not all cases there is any physical evidence at all. Did you ever hear of the case of an American girl in Aruba whom they presume is dead?

“As I said above, the job of a defense attorney is to place doubt in the minds of the jury.”

Oh, he definitely did a good job. Somehow he convinced a Jury to ignore all the evidence and find a gulity perp innocent. He probably played on their emotions. They should have judged up on the facts, not anything else! Doubt is fine as long as you don’t use it find the guilty innocent. Only Hashem knows everything for sure, but this case fufilled the requirement of the law -Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt!
