The Inside View

After the shocking verdict was given yesterday, the jurors chose not to speak to anyone and instead got on a bus and headed back home. No one has spoken yet except for one of the 5 alternate jurors.

Boldly, this alternate juror has called into different news programs explaining why the jury did not convict Casey Anthony.

It took the jury about 10 hours to let Casey walk free. They did not ask to see one piece of evidence during their deliberations. NOT ONE. WHY?????

Put aside your emotion and feelings and listen to this man who really did do what the judge instructed. He looked at the evidence. Or should I say they listened to it in court and then disregarded it all.

As this man said, Casey was lying for years. It was completely plausible to him and others that there could have been an accident being that no cause of death was proven.

No witnesses said anything about Casey being a bad mother. How do you convict for child abuse?

The family dysfunction did affect his decision because he felt that you could imagine that anything was possible including Jose Baez's theory of how Caylee died. An accident that spiraled out of control is believable to him because of how messed up this family is.

And although a motive was not necessary, this juror felt that the state had not produced a motive for Casey killing Caylee. The 31 days are disregarded because Casey is a slut. To him, this was not proof of guilt. The state did not need to prove motive to get a conviction of manslaughter.

Although I agree that they could not prove how Caylee died, she was dumped in a field with duct tape over her face. Is that how you handle an accident? Her own family said her car smelled like a dead body had been in it. 


Between the "junk" science and lack of evidence on the body tying the crime to Casey, there was nothing they could use to convict. Sad, but what do you do if there is no proof?

There was reasonable doubt but I guess if you do not consider Caylee and only consider Casey, you may side with the defense. This juror agreed that Casey has issues but you know, he almost seemed to feel sorry for her. 

What about Caylee? The State of Florida did what they could to try and find justice for this little girl. They failed. It just was not possible for them to prove a crime had been committed even though it was obvious (and proven) Casey lied about not knowing what happened to her daughter.

The Anthony family has been receiving death threats since the verdict was announced. This juror felt that the family knew more about Caylee's death then they admitted to. 


I guess this is a lesson to us all. Live in denial, enable your daughter (or son) , teach them how to lie by your own lying and it will come to bite you in the ass. 

Last night I saw an interview with Jesse Grund and his father. Jesse at one time thought he was Caylee's father until he had a DNA test done. He said the Casey he knew is dead. His father said the prosecution's biggest mistake was to not admit that the family is dysfunctional. Richard Grund said that the family is beyond dysfunctional and said Casey was the victim of emotional and verbal abuse by Cindy. He has no love lost for Cindy, eluding to how she damaged Casey.

Early on when Caylee was reported missing, Cindy tried to blame the Grund family. 

I guess that some people who disregard Caylee and just focus on what could have happened can be swayed to believe anything. 

This is a strange case. The Anthony's have secrets that we can only speculate about. Maybe Lee Anthony will come out with the truth. He seems to be the only one who has the capability of telling the truth.

The question "what really happened to Caylee?" will never be answered. That is the saddest part of this whole trial. Had the jurors thought a bit more about the life that was lost, maybe, just maybe they would have looked at what evidence there was and been able to place blame on Casey. No matter what, Casey Anthony was responsible for covering up something. She should be held accountable.
