    Media in the USA is ran by jewish broadcast mogules who make big bucks on campains and corporations, as well as keep politicians in check for the corporations. The media is a significant tool in manipulating the public. They use sensationalism to excite the audience and keep them hyped up for the addvertizement. Without the hype they lose viewers.

    Stuff like this, Tiger Woods, O'J, etc., are used to divert the attention from other important things corporations want down low.

    The outcome of this case makes no difference to me, and has no impact on my life or heath. Nor does it impact everyone else. It just consumes time and keeps people stupid worring about BS when there are more important things to learn.

    The jury was selected specifically because Anthony faced the death penalty.

    Is this more handwringing about not enough whites being on death row?

    Obviously the jury heard the evidence differently. Perhaps they were told something different than the media reported.

    People who believe Casey is guilty should think about why the jury found her innocent of all major charges. There is a reason for that verdict, and its unfair to say the jury got it wrong, when it probably took them a lot of guts to come up with that decision, knowing how people would react to it.

    The Casey Anthony case reminds me of the JonBenet Ramsey train wreck. Her mother in particular was hounded by the press, the public and the original DA. Detectives in the case resigned in disgust over the misdirection of the investigation. A judge eventually ruled that she was most likely killed by an intruder.

    No one seems to have learned anything by that experience, especially the public and the media. Btw just my personal opinion but Nancy Grace needs a good lawsuit or two.

    Enough with the polls that try to force an answer the author wants. Casey Anthony was found innocent because the prosecution's case was rather weak and the jury realized this. It doesn't necessarily mean she didn't do it: it means the rest of us couldn't prove she did it. Unless someone repealed 'Innocent until proven Guilty' when I wasn't looking, the OP and his fellow-travellers should get off their high horse and embrace traditional American justice.

    You're correct. I stopped watching her ugly (*)(*)(*)(*) mug a couple years ago. But she is vile, just like Jerry Springer, and the people get what they want. I'm just not part of that group.

    Cite an example where the Media reported or commented wrongly
    about the Caylee Case.
    There isn't enough space to list all the Lies and wrong statements
    uttered by a Tot killer.
    Back up or shut up.

    Nancy Grace is just a talking head......A loud mouth, evil eyed witch.

    All she does is complain and complain and complain.....Like she's so perfect.

    No wonder she can't find a man in her pethetic annoying life. ​

    What's that got to do with a verdict, rendered by the jury of peers, who sat in a court room, day by day, listening to evidence (circumstantial and otherwise)?

    Try to follow.....All the talking head media couch lawyers or those defunked once upon a time lawyers.
    Had Casey Guilty of Murder....Should be put to death......Weeks ago.
    All were judges and executioners.

    In the end....They all got, what they did't want......AWESOME.​

    The great thing to be said for the USA is that it has got rid of lynching and left justice to the courts.

    All this case taught me is that sometimes sheer dumb luck is all you need to get a not-guilty plea.

    So what about the tv judges? They should not matter (and as you point out, likely didn't).
    The jury has ALL the facts presented to them. All the TV audiences heard were snippets, opinions and whatever was allowed to be aired.
    No way we should come to any conclusion with that.

    And still, why is this case more intriguing, why did it get this amount of media attention, while other cases aren't even mentioned?

    No, that's not so.

    All they have done is remove the physical and replaced it with the verbal.

    They are experts at it, even though they invariably get it wrong, then spend hours, if not weeks, trying to justify it.

    Well, there is truth in what you say. Physical lynchings, however, were an even more unpleasant version of the right-wing mentality.

    I think the prosecution just bit off more than it could chew (or prove). It should have gone for aggravated manslaughter rather then murder-1.

    The original poll was stupid and the thread went downhill from there.

    The prosecution did not prove their case. It's that simple.

    I have respect for this jury and for juries in general.

    Maybe you are a functional illiterate, because you just stated the same thing I said, except my comment was a sarcastic response to somebody else's stupid post. Talk about putting one's money where their mouth is.

    I doubt the state could have even proven manslaughter. They just didn't have the evidence to connect the dots in either case.

    The media in this case swayed a whole nation unfortunately or fortunately(depending on how you view the out come) it wasn't able to sway the jury. The media does enough damage on it's own without swaying juries either for guilty or non guilty verdicts.

    Maybe not. Maybe the woman should have been charged with "failure to keep her baby alive".

    After reading other people's opinions and taking time to think about it, I've been reminded that there's no guarantee of justice in this country, it's not even mentioned in the Constitution. I also should've realized that the chances she would get convicted were less and less the longer the trial went on.

    She had her day (or days) in court and that's all that's promised, so yeah.

    No one really gets away with murder. There is a justice greater than our own that evens the scales.
