I still can't see how "Dr G" was able to come up with homicide being the manner of death without being able to determine the cause first.
I couldn't convict Anthony on any degree of murder with the evidence that was presented.
317-Sad but true, I feel the same way. No cause of death=No murder conviction. Very weird trial, but the defense did their best to muddy the waters as much as possible. I'd be suprised to see anything more than "after the fact" charges sticking, at most a couple years in the clink.
My heart tell me, she did in fact kill the child intentionally BUT after listening to the trial the evidence doesn't point to that, in my opinion. It's not pointing to anyone else either but all the state seems to have is a theory and I don't think I could sent someone to prison for life or to death on a theory.
I know you don't need a motive to convict, but I really would like to have seen that presented.
Chloroform. Duct tape. Dated photos of Casey partying AFTER the death of her baby girl.
Guilty.
917-Chloroform wasn't found anywhere except in the internet search. Duct tape can be found anywhere, and last I heard didn't have any fingerprint/dna tying to anyone. Yeah, probably a sh**ty way to "grieve". I'm not saying she didn't do it, I'm just saying the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she did.
The defense was a disaster. A second year law student could have done better than Baez. As for not knowing the manner of death - yes, true, that does make it more difficult, however, it is not required that the state show the manner of death. Jeff Ashton was masterful - Ms. Anthony might not get death, but I think she will be found guilty
