Remember her? She was acquitted of killing her daughter five years ago. Now she is out of hiding and trying to become a photographer. The big story, however, is that she is now accused of paying her lawyer with sex at the time of the trial and his knowing that she was guilty. People I talked to at the time thought that she was guilty, did you?
 

I always thought that she was guilty of something, even if it was "Child Endangerment." I don't believe the sex part, but her lawyer, Jose Baez, thought that he was going to cash in with his big WIN, Instead, he is very much disliked in the Tampa Bay area. Some of the jury members are still in fear of repercussions from the public and some even had to move from where they previously had lived.
 
I guess as I watched those proceedings, I continually thought how I would have behaved if my little girl had disappeared and then been found like that little child was and Casey Anthony's behaviour just didn't match any loving mom that I had ever met. I think that alone convinced me that she had killed her baby and was lying.

If oldman is right about the jury members being afraid, that's not right. Unless it gets revealed that they took payoffs or deliberately 'threw out evidence', I think they only came up with the decision they did based on information at hand and how the law is written. Not their fault that woman was able to wriggle through a loophole. Maybe this would be one more example of shooting the messenger.
 

People often behave in incomprehensible ways when dealing with grief. There is no "right" way to deal with the death of a child. Therapist or not, I DONT KNOW if she killed her child. None of us do. She was found innocent, I will give her the benefit of the doubt.
 
This is just another person dancing on that poor child's grave. fwiw, we lived in central Florida when this was going on, and my wife watched every minute of the trial. Prosecution over-reach was to blame. They didn't have the evidence to support the charge. All they proved was the that Casey Anthony was a slut. If that's criminal, well, we'll need more jails
 
I forget was she smothered or drowned? The accidental drowning cover up was tossed around a lot. As was somebody tried to quiet her down with a pillow over the face. Or baby sitter George not paying attention?

The prosecution did over charge. Just get them on something even if negligent homicide, don't settle for it that's charge that should be prosecuted.

As far as how she pays her lawyer is their deal or her debt to be paid.

Is this the woman that drove the kids off the bridge in the car?

I think that was a women from the Carolinas. This was from Florida. Casey Anthony was accused of killing her daughter and dumping the body in the woods. Lived a party lifestyle soon after the birth of her daughter. Claimed she was missing to cover up the murder or accident.

You've made excellent points Shalimar. But that's how I come to understandings on a host of issues. Put myself in their place, would I cry, would I go dancing.....?

Me too Ralphy!
How anyone could think she was innocent is beyond me.
She did not report the the toddler missing and no one knew she was gone for a month.
The little child was put in garbage bags and thrown in a wooded area not far from
from the Anthony home.
I certainly don't think Casey's mother, father or brother did that, she did.

Well, the jury, made up of people like you and me, which heard ALL the evidence, did not think that the evidence supported a "guilty" verdict. Neither of Casey's parents was exactly a paragon of virtue.
 
Sexual enthusiasm with multiple partners used to be the province of men, now, amazingly, young women have "discovered" it also, why shame them while lauding men's virility? Lol. I am of the free love generation---noooo regrets!
 
Well that's you. I'm a wreck if I lose an animal. If it was my baby, bury me with her.

I feel guilt for goldfish killed accidently, I lost two teens from stupidity on both our parts, but a young child? No point in going on.
 
Shalimar, did I miss something - twins? Are you talking about children or pets? How absolutely awful for you.

Either way, that would be a major heartbreak. I cried and cried when I watched my mom pass away and when we lost our two kitties a few years ago I was a basket case for months.

I can understand needing to numb the pain, however way possible.
 
Cookie, it was babies. Yes it was horrific, thanks for your support. It is really painful for me to feel as though my reactions are being examined by the grief police? So judgemental. I was a basket case, and a child to boot. I coped the only way I knew

how---sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Distraction on a massive scale. I am so sorry you had to watch your mother die, I have been there, so painful. The death of pets is heartbreaking also.
 
Shali, I am so very sorry for your loss, sure it was a long time ago, but it is a very deep wound. You are a very brave lady.

Being with my mom when she passed was very hard, but it was the right way to go. Losing pets over the years takes its toll and for that reason I'm not having any more.

I've done some reading by different people on the grieving process, and they say there is no right or way to do it. People do what works for them and comes naturally. My old friend who recently lost her adult son tells me that she hasn't cried at all, but she thinks about it and talks about it.

So with Casey, who knows what she went through.
