I feel like they may have shot too high with the first degree charge.

i think so too. even though if you prove one you likely prove the other the jury still is going to have a higher burden of proof for a first degree charge. human nature.

Exactly. I feel like it's tough to prove that someone thought out and executed a plan to kill someone in a lot of cases.

I don't know how I feel about this case, though, mainly because I don't know all the facts.

In the state of FL, the jury is allowed to consider lesser included charges even if the state is seeking the maximum charge. So manslaughter or non-felony murder were options. The jury didn't have to be convinced that the crime was 1st degree felony murder. Turns out they weren't convinced that Anthony murdered her daughter.

The prosecution badly overplayed their hand. They went into detail that wasn't needed, and failed to deal with the defense's irrelevacies.

Regardless, I hope the jurors lose sleep over this travesty.

The jurors don't need to lose sleep over coming to the correct verdict.

That's a new one. So, is that misdemeanor murder?

"Felony muder" is when murder is committed in the act of committing another crime. In this case the qualifying crime was child abuse.

Non-felony muder is murder committed without another crime having been committed.

The fact that you don't understand that suggests that your opinions on this case are worthless.

what the hell is non-felony murder again? You mean murder? Why not call it non-chickensoup murder? How about non-goat murder? I like non-SEC murder. Give it a try.

I understand perfectly what felony murder is. You said "non-felony murder" was an option. So, in your brilliantly made up definition, that would be any murder charge. Of course, no one refers to any murder charge as "non-felony" murder except you apparently. Most people that have a clue just call that plain old murder. But, nice job trying to make yourself look smart.

She could have been convicted of non-misdemeanor aggravated child abuse as well. I bet you didn't know that.

By "non-felony murder" I meant either 1st or 2nd degree murder.

I clearly need to stop counting on the intelligence of other posters.

"have you ever been convicted of a felony?"

'nope. Just murder.'
