"As to the charge, first-degree murder, we the jury find the defendant not guilty," read the court clerk.

After a trial of a month and a half, the jury took less than 11 hours to find Casey not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse. She was convicted of four counts of lying to investigators who were looking into the June 2008 disappearance of her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

It looks like the jury fell down a rabbit hole and believed Bozo's fairy tale. I am sickened by this miscarriage of justice. All the money Florida taxpayers shelled out prosecuting and defending this case was a waste. A huge waste.

Caylee.....I'm so sorry for what has happened today. Rest in Peace, little angel.

Caylee, just so that you understand logic, Casey's defense attorney publicly admitted that your mommy was guilty ~

Interesting, eh?

From TMZ:

An official COMPLAINT has been filed against Mason with the Florida Bar Association because of the finger ... in which Cheney is accused of violating a code of conduct which requires lawyers to maintain "integrity of the profession."

Doesn't matter-he's supposedly retiring anyway.

OMG Sherry, that was at the Baez Champagne party, right?

Send that to NG, she'll have it on her show tomorrow nite. LOL

Message to all women who do not want their children anymore....move to Florida, create imaginary friends, kill your child, make up a story, lie your butt off, say you were molested by family members, throw your child somewhere where it will not be found for a few months, throw anyone and everyone under the bus....and you will be free! And if you are a pretty young white girl you may even become "famous".

Oh and for the mothers of children that are REALLY missing, thank KC and family for this circus show because now the public will now be even more skeptical of you.

Sweet baby Caylee I don't even have to words to tell you have devastated I am that our justice system failed you so miserably. I have to believe in my heart that Karma will prevail. Rest in peace sweet angel and know how loved you are here.

JOSE BAEZ, CASEY ANTHONY'S DEFENSE ATTORNEY: You're saying I didn't expect this. We're not saying that at all. We always felt very strongly about our case and we always felt that - - that this case was built on -- it was built on nothing. And the jury saw through all of the fantasy and forensics and they saw through a lot of the lies that were presented before that.

Casey Anthony trial: Retiring prosecutor Jeff Ashton said he expected a guilty verdict

Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton and alternate juror Russ Huekler, also known as Juror No. 14, appeared on NBC's Today Show.

Orlando Sentinel
9:19 a.m. EDT, July 6, 2011

Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton on national television this morning said that he was shocked and bitterly disappointed by the jury's decision to render not guilty verdicts on the major charges in the Casey Anthony case on Tuesday.

Ashton and other key figures who participated in the murder trial or were involved in the case dominated network television shows this morning.

"I think I mouthed the word 'Wow' five times," told NBC's Today Show host Matt Lauer about the moment when he heard the not guilty verdicts.

Ashton, who is retiring from the State Attorney's Office, said he and the prosecution team in the case had hoped the jury would be convinced of Casey Anthony's guilt once they saw photos of 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony's remains and the scene where she was found.

"This was a case where we honestly felt that if the jury saw what we saw," then the result would be a guilty verdict, Ashton said.

Even if you bought into the fantasies and fairy tales told by Baez and his team, how is it possible that the jury found her not guilty of aggravated child abuse? Meaning dumping the child's body in the swamp. I mean Casey and her defense team basically admitted that (while throwing GA in the mix). The jury found her guilty of less than her defense team admitted. What an injustice!!!

Jeff did a great interview, lots of class. Thank you for posting that J4!

Okay, how does this alternate know what the twelve thought? I thought the alternates were removed from the deliberations. I thought they were not allowed to talk to one another.
