Casey Anthony: An American Murder Mystery

This reminds me of OJ. Is there really any doubt that she's responsible for killing her little girl after seeing what happened? I'm only on episode 1 of the documentary.

I haven't watched the show, but from what I remember as a casual observer was that there was no doubt she was a terrible mother (likely contributing to the child's death) and that she disposed of the child's body, but there wasn't proof Beyond a reasonable doubt that she actually killed the child. (She probably did,)
The prosecutor should have included some lesser counts in the indictment related to child abuse, not reporting a crime, obstruction, etc. but they didn't want the jury to "settle" on those lesser charges. They went for murder and couldn't prove murder so they got her on nothing.

Basically.
No doubt that she covered up the death, but no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was first-degree murder as opposed to an accidental death or negligent homicide.

Watched episode 2 last night. The entire jury should be hanged. Anthony should be hanged. The prosecutors should be hanged. She never wanted that child. To have one of your best friends at the time admit on tape that while pregnant she wanted to either have an abortion or adoption because she didn't want the baby, but her mother refused to let that happen, is mind blowing. The smell of the car, the blanket Caylee was found in, the area Caylee was found in, the lies (literally EVERYTHING she ever told police during that initial investigation was a complete lie); how can you not convict that P.O.S. There was so much evidence pointing at her. I don't give AF about if it was an accidental death, negligent homicide, or 1st degree murder. Casey killed her child, and then had the AUDACITY to try and pin it on her father during the trial. She is the most evil of evil that this earth has ever seen. About 1 rung lower than Adolph Hitler himself.
SN: She was spotted at an anti-Trump rally sometime last year. Not a huge surprise that she was a Killary supporter. #MAGAhoe

Yep, this is what happens with shitty prosecutors and DAs try to make a name for themselves and overcharge in a high profile case. They absolutely couldn't prove pre-meditation.

A statement by Jeff Ashton at the end of the third episode was the most telling about how she was found not guilty. During jury selection a large majority of people were absolutely convinced she was guilty, and were exempt from jury duty, so that the people that were picked were convinced that she was not guilty or nothing they could say would persuade them that she did it.

Why?

Because they charged her with 1st degree murder, which they absolutely could not prove.

Well, you are not the Supreme Court of the United States. When you charge her with 1st degree murder, you have to prove 1st degree murder.

Holy frick you are deluded.

Superlatives don't work like that. Also, worse than Andrei Chikatilo?

The whole post makes sense now.

This is exactly right.
Prosecutor failure. Plain and simple. They could've easily convicted her of several other charges and sent her to jail for 20 years at least.
Negligent homicide, child endangerment, obstruction, etc.
ETA:
I, like most sane people, believe she killed her daughter. There would be no reason for this cover up and extent of the lying if it was simply an accident. However, they couldn't prove it. Its not about what they did, its about what you can prove.

I think most if not everyone agrees she had a part in the death in either first hand or covering it up. Problem was like others have stated the prosecution did a awful job proving it in court. I hope she rots in hell.

I guess this is your response to getting clowned, but it still doesn't make sense.

Probably the most thought-out comment you'll make all day.

That's basically a cop-out. She wasn't convicted because he and his team were incompetent and over-charged her. They should have pushed for 2nd degree murder at most, because that's the most they could hope to prove. Instead, they insisted on swinging for the fences and struck out on three straight pitches in the dirt.

Watched all 3 episodes. Not much that was new. It was mostly a rehash of info already out there either via press or the trial.
Prosecution overcharged and didn't leave the jury any other other options. Bad move. She might otherwise still be behind bars which is where she belongs in my opinion.
I think George's theory may be closest to what happened. I also don't believe for a minute that he ever molested Casey. I think that was another one of her outright lies.
The most interesting part of the 3 shows, for me, was the fact that George and Cindy are together in spite of their differences of opinion on what happened. George thinks Casey over drugged the child. Cindy thinks some sort of accident occurred. George is done with Casey and doesn't speak to her, not that Casey would speak to him anyway. Cindy still speaks with her from time to time.
Wonder where their son is now and how he's dealt with all of this?

Yeah, well this is a nation of due process and you're not Pontius Pilate or Judge Roy Bean.

The biggest victim besides the poor toddler is her dad. That poor guy had his character absolutely destroyed.

Oh good fricking god. This is either the stupidest shite I've seen today or the most brilliant satire of stupid shite I've seen today.
