They could have convicted her of manslaughter. That was on the table. It had nothing to do with "intentional", the jury weren't convinced that she killed the girl.

You don't know that. She was found not guilty of 1st degree murder and aggravated voluntary manslaughter, both of which require intent. So, it's unclear where the hangup was.

I've received several emails from attorneys who disagree. They're all chalking it up to the folly of high profile jury trials.

Then the attorneys who email you literally have no business in the profession.

I do honestly believe that if this case isn't as high profile as it is that she's probably guilty on one of the charges from what little I know.

So it's all about what you can prove in court, if you guys ever get the urge to murder someone...cover your tracks well enough that you can attack the prosecution's case and then you'll be out scot free. The beauty of 'Merica. Call lawvol, it doesn't matter his personal feelings on the matter, it's only about what can be proven in the court of law.

Don't tell that to lawvol.

That doesn't even make sense. If it was less high-profile, the entire county wouldn't have decided she was guilty before the trial began. If anything, this case being incredibly high profile made it more likely to get a guilty verdict.

Their clients appear to disagree with you.

Slightly off-topic: Do you think KSM should get a jury trial or face a tribunal?

You need to take it easy. That's just the system that we live under. No amount of *****ing is going to change it.

the high profile can be chalked up to every talking head guaranteeing the guilty charge.

And yet OJ walked, R Kelly beat his pissing charge, Michael Jackson walked twice, Blago got a hung jury the first time.

It happens a lot.

I will throw out the argument that a high profile case like this will draw a bigger name attorney willing to cut her a discount or draw an attorney willing to do whatever it takes in order to get his name in the spotlight.

That was the reason of my question of how she got her attorney. I have no clue.

I mean, what normal person doesn't look up how to use chloroform, have syringes of chloroform near the remains of Caylee, ask to borrow a shovel, take her child away for a month, make up stories about where her daughter is. Must have all been fictional or planted on her by some puerto rican guy.

Just for S and G's

You get married. Your wife leaves the house after you fight. Your neighbor hears the fight. You say " I will kill you if you leave". Days later, your wife is found dead, partially buried. She has been bludgeoned to death. The neighbor sees it on the news, calls the police, and tells them what he heard. Cops find a baseball bat in your truck bed and a shovel. They arrest you for murder. You go on trial. The neighbor didnt see your wife had left after the argument, leaving you in the house. You helped your father dig up a broken water line with the shovel. You play softball on the weekends.

They convict you of murder based on circumstantial evidence

Thats more than they had to go by in this case

Who had Casey last anyone had seen? Who asked about using chloroform? Whose vehicle had the stench of dead body? Who had a chloroform syringe in their vehicle near where the child's body was? If you're ok with that verdict and you think she didn't do it then that's your prerogative. I'm done arguing about it.

lyls, I respect you as a very solid contributor to this board but this horrible woman was not in a court of public opinion for which she would surely have been found guilty. She was in a court of law which requires solid, irrefutable evidence to convict a person of murder 1.

You are inspiring me to watch A Few Good Men now. "You missed the day they taught law at law school."

Thx for the PM earlier today, BTW.
