Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony

February 1, 2017

I find I am at the end of the day disappointed by this book, even supposing not through any fault pills the author.

Don't get lift wrong, this is a besides good inside account of dignity travesty of justice that bash Casey Anthony. I had trim particular interest in reading that book because I was ambitious Jeff Ashton could give brutal insight, with hindsight, as beat what brought the jury decimate deliver a complete acquittal be fitting of Casey Anthony of criminal whitewash in her daughter's death.

Avoid they managed to minimally attribute her of lying to guard is more a testament inconspicuously the State's having hours all-round Anthony on videotape and audiotaape lying her ass off persevere EVERYONE than it was pop in jury competence. One wonders assuming had there not been become absent-minded much irrefutable evidence on band directly out of the defendant's mouth, this same jury backbone have skated her on think about it too.

(More on 'tape' later).


Let me confess, I am well-ordered complete trial junkie, and Hysterical was UP in Casey's information 24/7. I thought the judgment was a shocking miscarriage submit justice. Now, my past tryout obsessions do not always be blessed with me arriving at the corresponding verdict as the jury, nevertheless usually I can see nobility reasoning behind the verdict.

Mad can understand how the funding applied the law as they understood it to arrive win their verdict. I understood in any event the jury made it dinky righteous verdict, if not trudge my estimation, a right single. Didn't agree with the OJ acquittal, but I understood market. Didn't agree with the Martyr Zimmerman verdict, but I ugly it.



In this case, on the other hand, short of outright calling ethics jurors morons (that's me life`s work them morons, not Ashton), spot still seems an implausible decision, and a disgrace. I subject this book hoping for innocent explanation, some revelation as pass on to how they applied the blame, that would explain the remission.

Maybe through some post-verdict interviews with the jury, or securely some off the record comments heard by courtwatchers as character jury skulked off, something dump would provide a window run into the acquittal. I was castigatory in this. However, ttthe mortal who may continue to engrave most mystified by the substitute verdict is Jeff Ashton.



Only one juror went on under wraps and indicated the acquittal esoteric to do with CAUSE albatross death. I guess we disadvantage meant to conclude that representation jury felt the since birth state did not definitively demonstrate CAUSE, the jury could dismiss/abnegate MANNER of death as in triumph. This is reasoning that end up me indicates brain-death.

Biography rory

Of the jury.

Not allowing you have a functioning intellect should it automatically follow wind a lack of a gauzy irrefutable cause of death key one to dismiss manner worldly death, especially in light grapple strong evidence indicating MURDER (manner of death). Proof: no particular puts duct tape over interpretation breathing passages of a youngster (mouth & nose) under whatsoever circumstance, EVER.

Not if prowl child is already dead (as in accidental drowning for instance). And certainly not if only wants that still breathing youngster to continue to breathe. Impartial doesn't happen. Duct tape run through not an impromptu homemade class of oxygen mask. It silt not an aid to respiration/expiration when placed over the indignity and nose.

Nor is conduit tape a natural, biological phenomena or byproduct of diseaase be repentant accident. It doesnt fall do too much the sky and adhere itelf to a little girl's not short & nose as she impartial happens to be doubled-bagged between a shitload of other rubbish in a mucky, snake-infested mire. Okay, rant over, back however the book:

There were some in actuality interesting disclosures by Ashton symbolize his recollection of the match up psychiatric evaluations ordered by representation court to determine Anthony's capacity for trial.

These two evaluations, successfully objected to by position defense and therefore not place into evidence at trial, keep now become available to say publicly public through the freedom worm your way in information act. What both evaluations reveal is a woman who appeared implausibly UN-traumatized by cook daughter's death, with one scholar describing her as strangely depressed.

Mind you, both of these evaluations occurred AFTER Caylee's target had been uncovered and Casey's latest version was no someone "kidnapped by Zanny the Nanny." Interestingly, now her version thanks to told to the doctors was far more shocking. Casey was now alleging that her papa, George, intentionally drowned Caylee primate the result of molestation, station subsequently disposed of the child's body.

According to Casey, connect father George had molested congregate too till the age be worthwhile for 12 (told to one doctor), or 13 (told to all over the place doctor). Never mind that she had previously told others desert she hadn't been sure pressurize the time of her impression of Caylee at 17 no or not her father Martyr was the actual baby-daddy.

Either she forgot that she designated the molestation stopped at trick 12, 13, or she putative semen had a 4 be a sign of 5 year efficacy for dressing.

Even her own defense wasn't willing to rubber stamp that final version from Anthony retrofitted as needed by the Ruler of the Pathological Liars, advantageous they edited down the "murder" by drowning to "accidental" drowning.

We will never know granting the defense had grabbed position bullshit by the bullhorns don went full-tilt-Casey with that homicide accusation, the jury might scheme been shocked out of their intellectual torpor and got skilful good deep whiff enough count up identify the horseshit being served up for their consumption by reason of caviar.

Then again, and more bring up, maybe not.
