A Casey Anthony Case Juror Speaks!
Not an alternate. Not someone who turned down the job. Juror #3, an actual juror from the case, is shedding some light on what went on in the heads of the 12 decision makers in the Casey Anthony case.
Jennifer Ford, a 32 nursing student, came forward today to talk about what it was like being a juror on such a horrific case and how she and her fellow jurors ultimately decided to acquit her. As the case's prosecutor and other experts theorized, it came down to a lack of concrete evidence. Jennifer explained:
"I did not say she was innocent. I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be."
There are lots of people who would disagree with you there, Jennifer. At least on the point that the prosecution didn't provide enough evidence to prove her guilt, but there is no going back to that now.
As for why she and her fellow jurors agreed to stay silent in the hours following the ruling, Jennifer reveals that the moment was just too much for them all to bear. She adds:
"It was because we were sick to our stomach to get that verdict. We were crying and not just the women. It was emotional and we weren't ready. We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial."
Not such luck with that. The most shocking thing about this trial is that Casey Anthony walked away from it - and that's partly your doing. Still, you are the one who needs to live with conscience and your decision. If you think you made the right call, then we don't know what to say to you … other than watch yourself. We mean that sincerely. There are a lot of very angry people out there. We understand your need to clarify your stance, but it might've been safer for you to stay quiet.

sad
unlike you, Nancy Grace and millions of other people, it sounds like this jury went into this trial impartial like they were supposed to. Jury's don't convict people because they know in their gut the person probably did it, they convict people when it's proven with concrete evidence that the person did it
Perez is the hell are you to judge the jurors? They followed the legal system moron and did their jobs. If anyone is to blame its the people for not changing the current laws. If you can't prove someone committed a crime based on evidence you should not be able to have them sentenced to death. This isn't how we do it in America maybe in the cesspool you're from.
Why is it so hard for these jurors to see that the EVIDENCE WAS THE TAPE AND THE 30 DAYS Casey was partying??? She was the custodial parent of a 2 1/2 year old? She was the last one to see her!! Real life is not CSI, and the evidence WAS THERE — AT LEAST FOR THE MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE AND AGGRAVATED NEGLECT!!!!
no.
Those Jurors did the most respectable thing, Perez. How dare you belittle their decision with your silly gay antics. HOW DARE YOU!
I made this account despite it being beneficial to you and knowing that you most likely don't even bother reading these comments, but this entire post was completely unnecessary. I feel so bad for this woman. You don't even know what she had to go through. Shame on you, Perez.
oh my god, just for this post ur site should be shut down.
if u have a legal system with a jury, u gotta accept the verdict. and not only when u are pleased with the outcome.
and did u seriously write this?! " If you think you made the right call, then we don't know what to say to you … other than watch yourself."
If there wasn't enough proof to find her guilty then it's hardly the fault of the jury…
Watch yourself? Really. You have no understanding of the law. Even though Casey is probably the murderer…there wasn't enough evidence to send her to jail. No murder weapon, no cause of death, no finger prints. Stop acting like you know what the fuck you are talking about.
There is no doubt in my mind that Casey Anthony is guilty. But given the evidence presented to the jury I did not feel the prosecution made its case. In that case even if the jurors felt she was guilty they had no choice based on the instructions given to them, to vote not guilty. The jurors are NOT to blame for this, there was just a lack of clear cut evidence here. And it didn't help that I felt the members of Casey's family perjured themselves on the stand in an attempt to help Casey get off.
I'm not an American Lawyer, but I think that from a legal point of view it was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that she killed her daughter… so I understand the jury from that point of view. Even though it seems very wrong.
really perez? really. you can't convict on feelings and "hmm she probably did it"s. those jurors honestly could not convict her with the evidence brought into court. it probably killed them inside (like it seems) to not convict her, but to kill another human being over no evidence and feelings is murder too.
she'll get hers eventually.
hmmmm….I thought they had plenty of evidence!!
You say she should watch herself, yet you post her FULL name for all to see, You personally are risking this girls life. The jury did their job. They used the evidence given and couldn't convict…The error was in the prosecutions in going to trial before the evidence was there.
I hate the outcome but the jurors did their damn job…….God Bless this legal system - it has its flaws but, above all, it's fucking fair - I'm a proud American but I have to go throw up now. I love America, but like ALL OTHER FUCKING COUNTRIES, we're not perfect. All Anti-American people - SHUT IT, REALLY.
Perez have you even been following this case? "There are lots of people who would disagree with you there, Jennifer. At least on the point that the prosecution didn't provide enough evidence to prove her guilt, but there is no going back to that now." What evidence are you referring to? Do you know something about this case that wasn't presented in court? Because a tattoo and party pics are not evidence. And way to go with the "watch yourself" threat. As if the jurors aren't under enough stress as it is. These jurors made the only call they could. There was NOT enough evidence, there WAS reasonable doubt. That's it. Done deal. Did she do it? Maybe. But you can't sentence anyone to life in prison on "maybe." I am so sick of all these people villainizing the jury, and villainizing Casey for that matter. She was found innocent. Do you know what's not "shocking"? Instead of reading up on the case, and getting the facts, and developing your own opinion, you are just siding with what's popular. What you believe to be PC. But it's clear to me that you know nothing about the case, so your opinion/argument, if you can call it that, isn't valid. Oh and CaliCoyote, the only uneducated, uninformed person here appears to be you. The way you spelled stupid speaks for itself.
George covered his tracks.
I would rather have the jury do their job and judge based on evidence rather than what they think happened. Everyone knows she was guilty of something, no mother would act like that if their child was missing for 30 days and not report it. But they weren't asked if they thought she did it they were asked if she did it without any doubt. It was also the prosecuters fault for having a crappy case with no real hard evidence and asking for the death penalty. The jurors held this womans life in their hands with no concrete evidence proving she did it, who would have the ability to kill another person without knowing what really happened. Should have charged her with a lesser charge that they knew they could win not looking for blood b/c the media got involved.
Perez, you've got a hell of a lot of nerve saying what you did, especially ending with a veiled threat. You know very well that our justice system is designed to be fair and impartial. If there's any shred of doubt in a juror's head that the charges don't fit the crime, that criminal should be found not guilty. That's not saying she didn't do it - it's saying that the evidence didn't prove that she did it. Where the hell is your brain on this one?
Perez you are way out of line. I completely agree with the jurors decision. Being on a jury can't be an emotional thing. Emotionally you want Casey to pay. But the prosecution did not prove their case without there being doubt. And it was a capital murder case so I wouldn't have convicted her either…I could only take away someone's life if I know, by seeing the evidence, that she did it, but they didn't prove that. In my heart, she did it, but it could not be proven. I guess that's the difference with someone who thinks with their heart vs someone who thinks with their head. Not to mention, Perez, walk a f'ing mile….you have no idea what those jurors went thru, you were not in their chairs and you were not living that experience. Sorry my friend, but you owe this juror a huge apology and traction to your statement above. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I have a question that I hope someone can answer and not in a snappy or rude way. Who and where is the father of that beautiful little girl? I have not heard anything about him. It's possible that it has been on the news and I just missed it but I don't think so. I would just like to know what his thoughts and feelings are on this case and what he feels like when his baby girl was missing for 31 days. Did he not know? I also think that the prosecutors had alot to do with the innocent verdict. They were sloppy in their investigations. I believe that the entire family had some type of knowlege of what was going on with that little baby girl. There were many, many, many lies in the entire case from all the family members. May Kaylee rest in peace.
They let her get away with it AND she's going to get rich.
This jury failed the system because they wanted to go
on vacation. That's what makes me so sick that I haven't
turned my TV on and won't until they stop talking about
that murderer and the stupid aaaassssssss jurors
Re: Caroline – I understand that too - but I thing our understanding of 'reasonable doubt' has been altered by shows like CSI to become absolute proof. The concept of reasonable doubt needs to be redefined and clarified by the legal system.
Re: TrannyTakesATumble2 – Somehow no matter what the topic, you have to target your visciousness on Perez? And what does he have to do with this topic exactly? Going to bring in your hate for Gaga while you are at it? Why not, I am sure you are due for another rant… And before you say I am "but buddies with Perez or whatever you haters say: I am not a big Perez fan…what I am is fair and stable minded AND I do not need to target people because I am hating life, insecure or cannot handle others success….LIVE AND LET LIVE….DON't JUDGE!!!Bottom line: the only person that knows what happened is Ms. Anthony…we will never know FOR SURE if she is guilty or innocent…she is a troubled woman who is in need of help, that I do know…not mother of the year either….and she is a liar….to mention just a few things.
This biased post has made me loose respect for you, Perez. Who are you to judge the juror?! Yes, Anthony is probably most likely guilty of the crime…but I agree with the juror in terms of there not being enough evidence. There was a lot of evidence, but a majority of it was circumstantial…and didn't tie Anthony directly and indefinitely to the crime. And I agree with gregoryschmo…if you are concerned about her safety don't publicly criticize her and include her name!
The point of the post wasn't to say that the verdict was legally incorrect, it was stating that many people BELIEVE it was incorrect. There are a ton of people out there ready to avenge that little girl and you can either send that woman to prison, which they didn't, or have the jury picked off person by person. There were only two ways this could end.
SHE OBVIOUSLY LACK COMMON SENSE….
WHAT IS SAD IS THAT IT HAS TAKES CATCHING SOMEONE IN THE ACT WITH THE DUCT TAPE IN THEY'RE HANDS STANDING OVER THEY'RE OWN CHILD READY TO KILL THEM BEFORE YOU CAN CONSIDER THEM GUILTY…
JURY # 3
I WOULD BE MORE SICK TO MY STOMACH RIGHT NOW IF I WERE YOU FOR THE HORRIBLE DECISION YOU MADE BASED ON WHAT YOU CALL LACK OF EVIDENCE…
I THINK YOU MEAN LACK OF BRAIN CELLS IN YOUR CASE !!!!!
Re: cap chick – that's circumstantial you idiot.. the tape and her partying only proves that… not that she killed Caylee. What the f is wrong with you people. Invest in a dictionary and perhaps revisit a government class you should of taken in high school. If you have time to write idiotic comments, take some time to research.
I totally understand that this was a difficult case for anyone, but the reason why I, and so many of us are so mad is because this should have been a hung jury. If they didn't believe she was innoncent, but they also didn't have concrete evidence to prove she was guilty.. they shouldn't have given her a firm "Not guilty" verdict. It's just maddening to people that justice will never be served for Caylee because her murderer has walked away from this case a free woman, without even a second thought. It's a hard pill to swallow, but it's already been done. We can only hope that Casey gets the punishment she deserves someday.. whatever that may be.
This is ridiculous. Everyone knows shes guilty…HOWEVER our laws are written with the principle that it is better for 100 guilty men go free, than one innocent go to jail. And this is what happened here… There was a lot of evidence yes…But it was wishy washy at best… It's just the way it is…She is guilty, but because our laws are the way they are…she goes free. End of story.
As much as i DISAGREE with the verdicts, i understand what the juror is saying. Just because YOU FEEL or THINK someone is guilty does not mean they ARE. I personally find her guilty as sin, but again there wasn't concrete evidence that sealed the deal. But what bothers me most is her being not guilty on three serious charges. I understand the murder charge, but the manslaughter and child abuse?? I just think she should have been punished in SOME WAY for her daughters gruesome death.
Re: maggiegirl – you and every idiot who doesn't understand what evidence you need for a CAPITAL MURDER TRIAL.
Re: Jthemac – Agreed, even though it makes me sick, this is why America is a free country. You cannot be convicted based on a gut feeling.
Hello! Look at OJ!!!! In your gut, you know he did it and got away with it. That is how our system works, you have to prove without a shadow of a doubt. That works for and against justice sometimes. Deal with it. People need to calm down about this case, it is sad yes, but our system is what it is and we have to believe that it works to the best of our abilities. There is no need to have any anger towards the jurors. They are given a complex job, and strict instruction. It couldn't have been easy on them.
Wow. Your so-called reporting on this case is completely irresponsible and ignorant. I agree with hollister 503.
Perez you are an idiot. No business making posts or commenting on something you clearly don't know anything about. Feeling anger for what happened to the girl is one thing, but posting a jurors name, attacking them, and then warning them harm may come to them is just flatly irresponsible and reprehensible. No serious journalist would post crap like this (Except a Murdoch publication). Get back to your celeb doodles and leave any serious comments to those more enlightened than you.
Lastly, the prosecutors hoped for sympathy to get the murder one conviction with no direct evidence. Many african americans were hung because a sympathetic jury sided with the prosecutor. Should we go back to that system of justice again?
Well it looks like Douchebag Perez is back! This entire post was completely irresponsible and unneccessary. Watch yourself? Really? I commend these jurors for basing their verdict on FACT and not emotion. We don't convict people in this country based on circumstantial evidence. And when we do, it's a violation of the rights of every citizen of this country. In this country, we are to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. My gut says that she probably did it. We don't convict people based on probability. You tell me how the prosecution proved her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? NOT including circumstantial evidence. These jurors did what they were required to do by law and should sleep very soundlly. Would you be able to sentence someone to death without evidence? If you would, then YOU are the kind of person who would have to live with guilt over your decision. Have you ever heard the saying…It is better to let nine guilty men free than to convict one innocent man? GOD will be the judge and jury on this one. And Anthony would have been better off spending her life in prison. She will be living in her own personal hell till her last breath. Not to mention the fact that Karma's a bitch. So far this is the furst juror to come forward and instead of condemning her, you should be commending her. Your utter lack of common sense never ceases to amaze.
Re: buggadaboo – Nobody really knows for sure who the father is.
And I agree with the posters here who say that the jurors were doing their job as they should. Perez, it is a juror's JOB to go into a case with an impartial and unbiased view. Of course common sense says that even if Casey didn't actually commit the murder, she still had a huge hand in it and deserves to be punished for it. But the prosecution DID NOT prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Re: cap chick – Her partying does not prove murder. Neither does the duct tape. They were no finger prints or any other type of DNA on the tape other than bits of Caylee's hair. Just because the tape looked similar to tape that the Anthony's had does not mean she committed the murder. I bet you I can go out right now and buy tape that looks exactly the same. Also, one of the forensic pathologists in the case said that he believes the tape was placed on the skull long after the flesh had decomposed, mostly to keep the jawbone intact so that someone could move the bones. If that's true, who that someone is remains to be seen.
Re: CaliCoyote – Stupid people in california! Uneducated, overly tanned, big-faked boobed blonde bimbos! … doesn't feel so good, does it?
FUCK YOU PREZ. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. You fucking retard imbecile. Those jurors followed instructions, followed the law, and came back with the right verdict. It could have easily gone the other way if they had a bunch of retards like you and O'Reilly on there. I swear, people like you and that Bill O'Reilly make me FUCKING SICK. You are so STUPID you just can't understand how these things work. You and all these media people are so sensationalistic you just start firing from the hip about what you think this and you think that and what your gut tells you. THAT DOESN'T MATTER YOU FUCKING MORON. You can't convict someone unless you have hard evidence proving they killed that person. THAT THEY ACTUALLY KILLED THAT PERSON. Not that there was a dead body in the car, not that they went out dancing. EVIDENCE THAT THEY KILLED THAT PERSON. Why can't your little shitty pea brain comprehend that. Just shut the fuck up.
Re: BELLA blue – they couldn't even prove cause of death. the prosecution couldn't even give us that. not that they could have pulled it out of thin air but c'mon. yes, the body was too badly decomposed and that's a shame. but there were SO many unanswered questions. and this is capital murder for god's sake. i don't really know what you expected from this jury. i worry about someone who WOULD be able to convict someone of murder lacking any physical evidence. just because your gut tells you she probably did it. the difference between you and these jurors is that THEY aren't lacking common sense. they did their job based on FACT and not emotion and probability. i really don't understand ppl like you and Perez who have the nerve to judge these ppl. it's completely assinine. seriously. Anthony will pay because Karma's a bitch but leave these jurors alone. THIS is why she is the only one so far to speak.
Well, I guess if you're going to kill your kid, you should wait 30 days to say anything, and have evidence of a dead body in your car… The verdict on this case shows how terrible the justice system is.
You post her name and then tell her to "watch herself"?? Wow. Did you even watch the trial? The prosecution couldn't prove the child was murdered. Don't be a sheep.
PEREZ SCREW THESE LOWLIFES I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOUR POST AND YOU ARE CORRECT THIS WOMAN AND THE REST OF JURY ARE DOUCHEBAGS THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN A HUNG JURY..THEY AND CASEY ANTHONY WILL GET WHAT'S COMING TO THEM IN SOME FORM OR THE OTHER!
Yeah, they were real thorough with their findings. 2 damn days to deliberate? That's a bunch of bullshit. None of them took notes, so how could they retain all that information on everyone? They just wanted to get it over with so they could start doing interviews and cash in on their payday. Sad day and our justice system is completely flawed.
Perez, I'm glad you aren't a spiteful asshole anymore but you are still an annoying, judgmental prick. The annoying part of you, I can tolerate, but that holier than thou attitude is not cool. I don't know what it is that makes you think that you not only have no rights to put this girl (who btw, wasn't the only one to decide on her not being guilty) in some unrealistic pedestal and as unfortunate as this whole thing is, you cannot put someone in jail over the way she acted during her daughters disappearances, and need concrete evidence such as DNA on the body, i.e sperm, hair fibers, fingerprints which would have been difficult to detect as she was all bones and could not even find the cause of death. She probably did it and this does suck, but lack of evidence and an undetermined death = Not guilty as you cant prosecute someone on feelings or hunches. Even if they are this strong and that sucks. So unless you are a lawyer by night or at the very least, know the basics, back off Perez, for god sake, you are so far up your ass that you probably even love the smell of your own farts.
Re: love92807 – AGREED!
So, circumstantial evidence counts for nothing even if it's glaring? What mother doesn't report her wee daughter missing for a month and parties in the meantime to 'get through it?' Wasn't the little one found buried close by her residence? No one searched choroform? All the lies mean nothing? The alert to dead body smell in her trunk? Was there matching duct tape? I believe time will unfold the whole thing bit by bit, regardless.
stupid a-hole, don't want a moron like that as my nurse
Re: mdr417 – AGREED
shut up Perez - stick to posting the mind numbing crap that we all come here to read to get away from terrible stories like this. If I want a commentary on current affairs I will go to a news website and not source it from a narrow minded queen. How dare you judge a woman who was doing her civic duty and was put into a terrible position. We all know she is guilty as since but If there is reasonable doubt you can not convict, imagine how horrible it would to be a juror.
I'm glad Perez put her name out there. Her and the other 11 soulless monsters who let that child-killing sociopath go deserve whatever they get.
Re: buggadaboo – No one is totally sure who the father is but it is thought he might be a man from the boston area who died in a car crash a few years ago. There was an investigative reporter who connected some dots. Apparently he got Casey pregnant on a trip he took and was going to support them financially before he died. I don't have a link to the report but I'm sure if you google you can find it.
Any lawyer worth their weight in gold will tell you that this trial was doomed from the start. The DA pushed too fast for a conviction on ALL accounts, instead of biding time to build a stronger case on the murder charges.
Instead, they tried to bulldog her and break her and destroy her credibility as a witness.
Shitty move on behalf of the prosecution and they fuckin' well know it.
Research the justice system here, people, before you start pissing yourselves.
Most of you on here sound extreamly IGNORANT. What more evidence did you need!!
1.Partying and getting tattoos within the time her 2Year old was missing.
2.Lying about where her child was
3.Smell of decomposing Body (IN THE TRUNK OF HER CAR!)
4.Lying about information given to police officers
5.Putting all the childs belongings in her car
6.There defense was that the Child DROWNED..???Really, so what was the point in putting tape around her mouth and throwing her in a plastic bag.
And if she drowned, why was she not taken to the hospital etc…Instead she was throw away in the woods somewhere (like trash) not to far away from her home!
EVEN IF SHE DIDNT KILL HER CHILD…ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTS TOWARDS HER!!! THERES NO POSSIBLE REASON WHY SHE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH THAT CASE!
I mean, What Mother in her RIGHT-state of mind…Would go partying, when her 2year old child is missing!
This isnt Rocket Science!!!
You all need to stop ranting about Perez and stop feeling sorry for the jury because a 2Year old child lost her life and No one can explain what happend or why it happend.You guys probably arent parents
An african-american would have been thrown away in prison or given the death penalty off the bat..This wouldnt have been stretched out for 3years!
And for anyone who brings up OJ..all i have to say is that HE HAD MONEY!
Most of those who have commented on the Casey Anthony trial clearly do not understand the proper terminology and reasoning behind the charges Anthony was acquitted of. Did she kill her child? Probably. Does she know what exactly happened to Caylee? Probably. Is Casey Anthony the only person with access to the items which surrounded Caylee's remains? Yes. So sure, we can say it is safe to assume that Anthony killed her daughter. However, assumptions and hunches and ridiculous defense ideas aren't something which will convict a person. There needs to be hard evidence - DNA samples, a witness, etc. Something of the sort and no, there was none of that present at the scene of the crime. There were no footprints, there was no DNA other than Caylee's found at the scene, and there were no fingerprints on the duct tape. There was absolutely nothing linking Casey Anthony to the crime scene of her daughter. I am not saying this woman is innocent; There is simply no evidence to convict her. And it's a shame, because no one will (most likely) ever pay for the death of Caylee Anthony.
Right or wrong in someone's MORAL mind, the jury made the correct decision; an unbiased decision based purely on the definitions of the law. You cannot convict someone based on partying for 30 days after his/her daughter has gone missing, and you cannot convict someone strictly upon their own lies.
Love how Perez adds in "We mean that sincerely". Perez, your bully ways will never go away.
Re: youdontknowjacque – Obviously it's you that needs to go back to school… Circumstantial evidence IS EVIDENCE!! Unbelievable.. There are cases that have ONLY CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, AND THEY ARE ALLOWED IN COURT!! It's called DIRECT EVIDENCE AND CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE… They are BOTH ALLOWED!!
I agree with her. If they didn't have the evidence to prove exactly what the crime was, then you can't just decide the death penalty as an automatic consequence.
Re: katahstrophic – It's the partying while your daughter is MISSING FOR 30 DAYS!!!!!! THAT'S THE POINT!! That is evidence….And unbelievable you people that think the body was moved! Oh brother!!
Oh my gosh.. really Perez? You are threatening the jurors? They were basing it on solid evidence. Bottomline, there was no fool-proof evidence that directly points to Casey. Yes that was unfortunate because if there is one person responsible for that child's death, it would be Casey Anthony. But in reality, we'll never know what happened to Caylee.
"….watch yourself" Seriously Perez grow up, this woman stated they weren't happy with the decision they had to come to, and that it was something that was weighing on her. So get over yourself, the prosecution had the responsibility to prove guilt, defense to disprove guilt and the jury to come to a decision. READ what you write and read it again before you post it, she isn't bragging about how slap happy she is that they let Casey Anthony walk out, they jury was crying over it, I really felt bad for them, they had a hard decision to make. I highly doubt she has to "watch herself".
Wow…this is a terrible situation and obviously there are opinions to be had but the way you worded that was creepy. Just saying
Re: @RashondaYanic – Hundred percent agree.. A black girl would have been convicted. I'm white, and that is obvious. And AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE SMELLED THE DECOMPOSITION: Her mother and father and the tow truck driver.. THAT IS EVIDENCE, and especially from her mother and father before they decided to lie on the stand to save their daughter's life. Cindy's 911 call says it all!!
What an irresponsible post, Perez. Shame on you. You weren't in that courtroom. She wasn't privy to the sensationalism of this whole trial as they've been sequestered. She has to live with her decision to acquit a woman because the evidence was not concrete. It was shitty evidence presented by a shitty, greedy prosecution. When you get a law degree, you can agree or disagree but you really don't have the intelligence to make that call. You're a dick.
Re: cap chick – Obviously you're uninformed like Perez because there was NO FINGERPRINTS on the tape, therefore they could not prove that Casey killed her own daughter.
perez I have been a fan of your site for years now but this post makes me sick to my stomach! While I agree that the juror will have to live with her decision her entire life how is this her fault. They were cut off from the media for months with no way to hear everything that we were being told. All they heard was what was being presented to them during the case and from everything I have seen it was all circumstantial and not enough to convict her. You complain when amanda knox gets convicted because its all circumstantial but this time you are appalled by the jurors. Stick to covering celebrities and stop acting like you know anything about the legal system. Leave this poor girl alone
Great. Jennifer has a stellar future as a juror in all murder trials, as do her idiot peers. What a bunch of whiny, pissy, wimps. I wonder how many of them would hire Casey to babysit their kids or grandkids.
Good for you Perez, for calling it like it is. These jurors WILL have to live with their decision on their conscience for the rest of their lives. Although none of us wishes physical harm on any of these jurors, I do hope they are reminded of their fateful decision not to punish the murder of Caylee for the rest of their lives. There was a much larger amount of evidence than the 31 days of partying, so much damning evidence against her that they had to have the trial last 6 weeks just so the defense could come up with enough lies to cover it up half-assedly. People are convicted on less daily - "reasonable doubt" means that the doubt has to be REASONABLE, after all - and there is no excuse for this jury. The defense did a terrible job (Joze Baez needs to go back to law school) so they can't blame their verdict on them. They were just a handful of uneducated jurors who weren't paying attention to the case. Please don't comment about this case unless you have watched it and know that there was more evidence than "30 days of partying"!!
I'm gonna say it for the first time: Perez - shut up.
Re: TrannyTakesATumble2 – Please don't comment about this case unless you have watched it and know that there was more evidence than "30 days of partying"!!
Re: AnFolk – Please don't comment about this case unless you have watched it and know that there was more evidence than "30 days of partying"!!
And for those hollering about lack of evidence, what about Scott Peterson? Couldn't prove he done it. Yet his actions pointed to him doing it. And where does that bastard sit? Oh yes, in San Quentin on death row. Nice to see his jury was smart enough to give the proper sentencing. Man, there's too many idiots out there…
i just cannot believe all the people on here talking about"Leave the poor girl alone" "perez you dont know about the legal system" blah blah blah…You guys are just dumb! what about this little girl? she didnt kill herself and throw herself into the woods! She didnt tape up her own mouth! IT DOESNT TAKE AN EXPERT TO SEE THAT CASEY ANTHONY EITHER KNOWS WHAT HAPPEND TO HER DAUGHTER OR SHE KILLED CAYLEE HERSELF!. Sure, The evidence gave no DNA of casey….so explain where was this mother of a 2year old child.The time her daughter was murdured and treated like trash?? and the only charge she was guilty for was lying to officers?? LYING ABOUT WHAT!!??? UR CHILD WAS FOUND DEAD!..wtf would you lie about!
Re: BearBearBear – I never said there were fingerprints. That's what gloves are for. THE MOTHER WAS THE CUSTODIAL PARENT WITH CUSTODY OF CAYLEE, and I know Caylee put that tape on herself. You have to be able to add one and one to understand circumstantial evidence. AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ALL TOGETHER FOLKS IT SHOWS AT LEAST MANSLAUGHTER!!!!!
Hope she loses sleep every night knowing she set a murderer free into our society, it didn't take long to reach a verdict for being so"sick" over it
there was plenty of incriminating evidence. many cases have been decided on circumstantial evidence. do I agree with the verdict? absolutely not ! did the jurors do their job ? they are the only ones who know that. but I believe they let a baby killer free, and to add insult to injury, she'll get rich off her notoriety. what a fucked of mess.
Re: youdontknowjacque – read about Scott Peterson you stupid a$$
Re: rodeocrowns – Please don't comment about this case unless you have watched it and know that there was more evidence than "30 days of partying"!!
Re: hungarianflower –
Retard it doesn't matter if she was innocent or not. That is not how the legal system works in America. The fact is the prosecution did a crap job and this is the result.
i might not agree with the verdict, but perez i am very disappointed in you. watching the trial was hard enough, but having to decide this woman's fate would have been much, much worse. shame on you.
Re: xo124 – Please don't comment about this case unless you have watched it and know that there was more evidence than "30 days of partying"!! Nice job viciously defending a kid killer though …
Re: katahstrophic – Please don't comment about this case unless you have watched it and know that there was more evidence than "30 days of partying"!!
Re: rosebud99 – Excellent point! Even if they had videotaped her doing it, Jose would have said that it was faked or that aliens temporarily entered her brain and controlled her body for a day. Reasonable doubt has to be REASONABLE!!!!!
Re: The village Idiot – The Village Idiot, Please don't comment about this case unless you have watched it and know that there was more evidence than "30 days of partying"!!

Re: youdontknowjacque – Are you still looking up if circumstantial evidence is allowed in court?? Thanks for the idiot comment!!
People needs to fuck off:( and get a fucking life especially prostitute Nancy bitch grace she is rude & anoyed .state didn't proven shit Now just fuck off.. There are slots of murder to be investigate this one is over and now people needs to move on. She is NOT GUILTY and is the way it is !!!
Okay, this is one of those most idiotic posts you've done so far. I thought it mostly bad spelling and the constant Lady GaGa updates that were lame. This post was unnecessary and kind of offensive.
While the majority believes there was enough evidence to convict ( I sure do, at least for manslaughter and neglect ) in the eyes of the law there was not. They couldn't even determine the reason of death because it took so long to find Caylee. Had Casey been found guilty the defense would have appealed it anyway, over and over again, they would have gotten a mistrial or some other legal loop hole. That is strictly my opinion, and my opinion only.
Also, you're a moron. You want her to be safe yet, you gave her name, age, and profession. You care so much let other websites and news portals handle that mess. On top of that you indirectly threatened her. What about your anti-bullying crap you spewed about? Or is that only towards people of the gay community?
P.S. Keep your fucking shirt on.
How much evidence do you need? She says her daughter was missing for 31 days, but doesn't report her missing. Her car smells like a dead body and has high traces of chloroform. Kaylee is found wrapped with items from Casey's house and her head wrapped in duct tape, searches for chloroform are found on her computer. She acts like she doesn't give a rat's ass Kaylee is missing. Everything she tells police is a lie. She lets the body rot till there's no DNA left on anything. She throws her father under the bus with false abuse allegations. She seems to hate her mother for reporting Kaylee misssing. Besides all this she's a thief who steals from her friend and parents. She was the last person seen with Kaylee. She was partying like crazy, with a new It's A Beautiful Life tatoo, she probably paid for with stolen checks.
Re: talkingheads77 –
Yes to your post. It's unfortunate that there are this many stupid, vapid twats online. But, then again, are we really surprised when they get all of their TOTALLY TRUE INFO from Nancy Fuckin' Grace?
May none of you whiny little bitches ever get a seat on a jury. It might make your poor little wee brains go OWIE!
Can't help but think that if the cops investigated Kronk's call about the location of the body in August instead of waiting until December things might have gone differently..
Kudos to these jurors for understanding and applying the law. And Perez, I usually side with you, but not here. So do shut up. You say they have to live with their decision… to apply justice in the way they were commanded to? That's not a bad thing, that's the right thing. You can have your own opinion, but you are dead wrong on the facts of our legal system and what a criminal conviction requires. So stop making these jurors, who dutifully fulfilled their civic responsibility, feel guilty for doing what they had to do. Is it too much to ask that you understand something first before speaking to it?
Perez, are you kidding with this shit?! YOU CAN'T SEND A PERSON TO THE CHAIR OR TO LIFE IN PRISON ON A HUNCH! I don't care how the so-called evidence in the case made Casey "look." I don't care what her reputation is. The fact is, we live in a country where our legal system doesn't allow us to send people to prison based on ASSUMPTIONS. I am not saying this woman didn't do it, but to give the jury shit and tell these people they have to "live with their decision" is really fucked up! The jury made the ONLY DECISION THEY COULD MAKE BASED ON THE EVIDENCE, OR LACK OF EVIDENCE!
Re: @RashondaYanic –
Uhm, I need science. You can't convict someone just because of a smell, they couldn't prove it was decomposing body. Sure I think she did it, but I do not blame the jurors. I blame Casey Fucking Anthony, her parents ( who probably do know what happened ) and the defense team for spewing up all the extra bull shit to go along with it.
If she (they) loved that little girl so damn much someone should have opened their damn mouths and just told the flipping truth. But nope, we got a 3 year circus instead.
There is always karma.
Re: buggadaboo – she didn't know who the father was… he was never identified
Casey Anthony is NOT GUILTY and tomorrow she is going to walk like a free woman ready to make $$$$ millions of dolls for stupid media is responsable to Mede her a celebraty now SUCK IT Nancy shit grace:)
Re: BeautifulDisaster311 – AGREED. and wasnt the duct tape the same duct tape found in the basement…it was a rare duct tape as well. as well the outline of a heart on that duct tape that were stickers on cayless wall? what more evidence is needed…people watch wayy too much csi and expect there to be dna thrown everywhere but if there is any doubt upon her innocence then she isn't not guilty! there was people on that jury that didn't even want to be on it how come they were not dismissed? furthermore, if this woman is saying she isn't innocent then why not have a hung jury?!?!? douchebags all of them…ugh i wish dexter morgan was real!
THIS WOMAN IS A KILLER AND IN A FEW YEARS WHEN SHE HAS ANOTHER BABY OR DECIDES TO ADOPT LIKE SHE WANTS TO AND SHE KILLS AGAIN YOU WILL ALL BE SORRY YOU EVER DEFENDED THIS POS. THEN WHEN THAT BABY DIES LETS SEE HOW YOU BASTARDS FEEL THEN. CASEY ANTHONY IS A SOCIOPATH SHE HAS NO EMPATHY, NOT ONCE SHEDDING A TEAR DURING THIS WHOLE TRAIL ABOUT THE LOSS OF HER DAUGHTER YOU PEOPLE HAVE THE NERVE TO QUESTION PEREZ'S STANCE AT LEAST HE KNOWS A CRAZY BITCH WHEN HE SEES ONE. CASEY ANTHONY IS A MURDERER AND SHE'LL GET WHAT IS COMING TO HER I HOPE THEY HAVE A BULLET PROOF VEST TO GIVE HER AS SHE LEAVES JAIL TOMORROW @ 9AM.
