This is one of those terrible cases where I can't find any room for reasonable doubt. Ms. Anthony has been untruthful with police authorities too many times for me to find any part of her story credible. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt at first, but too many disturbing facts about her have now surfaced which make it impossible for me to go on doing that.

What say all of you on this case? Does anyone really believe at this point that little Caylee Anthony is alive? I find it very difficult to believe that myself, after all this time. I read the story which recently came out in PEOPLE Magazine, and it paints a very grim and sad picture.

I have been following this case closely from the beginning...and my biggest problem with this case is the way it has been unabashedly tried in the press. Whenever LE and/or the prosecution feel the need to try a case in the press, it causes me to question the credibility of the entire investigation. I have no love for Casey....but no one deserves to have their case tried like this. It is my opinion that if all she was charged with were jaywalking, she'd be sent directly to the gallows even if the trial were on planet Mars.

I realize that Casey brought much of the public hatred for her by her own actions. But LE has leaked much prejudicial information that should have been saved for the courtroom, IMO, (the test results, phone calls, text messages, etc etc etc) - and using the "sunshine" laws saying they have no choice is blatantly false. Active criminal investigations are exempt from the sunshine laws so this information was leaked/released to further taint the jury pool.

And the 'live' re-arrest (the second one) during the Nancy Grace hour was blatant grandstanding by the OCSO. Especially considering that Baez had followed standard practice by offering to turn his client in if a new warrant was issued on the economic fraud charges. For them to tell Baez she would not be arrested until after the weekend, and then to come and arrest her during the live Nancy Grace show can be explained by nothing but ego and grandstanding.

Someone at the jail even leaked info regarding Casey's commissary account! GMAB! Although, I must say, Nancy Grace gave me a great laugh when she was talking about the two anonymous people who sent money to Casey for her commissary. Nancy Grace, outraged as usual, said that Casey can purchase, and I quote, "expensive lingerie and shrimp cocktail" from the jail's "extensive commissary menu." Now, admittedly, I don't know much about the county jail experience first-hand...but I would bet a million bucks that "expensive lingerie" is NOT available for purchase by inmates. I would further bet that 'shrimp cocktail'....if it IS on the menu, would probably give the inmates food poisoning were one brave enough to order it.

If Casey did something that caused Caylee's death, all of this misconduct is on permanent record. I fully expect Baez to file a prosecutorial misconduct motion. Assuming she will be convicted, she stands a good shot at winning an appeal down the road based on Pros misconduct, fair trial, etc etc etc. I guess I am just tired of guilty people walking and innocent people going to jail because LE and prosecutors do not follow the rules.

All JMO....looking forward to discussing this case!

Oops. I had intended to start a new topic with the "Speculation v. Proof" title, but hit the wrong button. I hate it when that happens. Embarassed

I transferred what was originally in this post onto the new thread title. I'll try to be more careful in future.
