Or he could just say "time served" and out she goes.

They are one year terms. She has already served close to 3. The worst she will get is one year or probation of some sort.

It sucks. I really think she did it, but the evidence is not there. The duct tape cannot be tied to the body, the blood stain in the trunk could not be proven as human, nevermind as Caylee. The death odor evidence is from a new technology and could be produced from an infinite number of things. Searching for chloroform is circumstantial. None was found in the home or on the body. Murder 1 was a reach in this one by a prosecutor looking to make a name.

Nothing in the case indicates child abuse. They should have included neglect in the charges as she would have been convicted on that for not reporting her daughter missing.

I am glad the system worked this time. What if Caylee had S.I.D.S. and died naturally and Casey freaked out and lost her mind. Although it is a reach, it is a possibility.

This kind of statement is always made. As if outrage by the public would make parents stop killing or
abusing their children. It's just not so. I understand where the sentiment comes from, but it just rings
hollow to me. You have every right to make it, and I think it hits some people's ears just right, but it
doesn't do it for me somehow.

Proud to say I didn't waste one minute on this trial. Too many 24/7 news stations needing to fill time. You can't do anything in private anymore including grieve.

I never heard about it till yesterday, Hugh.
To assume that the media is feeding me anything relatively close to the truth involving anything like this is too huge a stretch of the imagination for me.
Guilty or not, the mother is ruined. Guilty or not, this baby is still gone. It'll all shake out in the end. Life is short, but it'll be a lot longer and a lot more painful for those truly involved. That's the only justice I can count on.
