Wow. I do not think the concept of "civil duty" includes getting paid for interviews. So, I do not think this jury understands the concept of "civil duty". I think our founding fathers would cringe.

I also think our justice system is only as good as the critical thinking skills and IQ's of the jurors selected. (I know, sounds rude, but it is the cold hard truth!) If jurors lack the reasoning skills to understand the concept of "reasonable doubt", there is no hope for a just verdict. Also, if they lack the reasoning skills to understand the different charges brought againt the defendant, they are an ineffective jury. They also lacked the intellect to comprehend the judge's instructions not to consider the penalty when deciding on the decision of guilt.

These jurors lacked comprehension of this so much that in interviews they claim the punishment of death seemed extreme to them, so they could not convict. The punishment was not to be considered. Also, there was a lesser charge carrying a lighter sentence they were to consider. Once again, the lack of intellect of these jurors was appalling.

Unfortunately, a lot of research goes into how to pick a jury to ensure the desired outcome for either side. I don't think our founding fathers had that in mind either.

How could ppl w a healthy amount of critical thinking skills and IQ level only deliberate for about 11 hours w all the evidence presented, also w notes that they left in the courtroom? These are jurors did not take their civil duty seriously. I think the proof of this is in the pudding.

I agree with everything you said here. The jurors didn't understand what they were deciding on. Taking 11 hours, and thinking she would get a death
sentance, proves that. To only be guilty of lying? Com'on! But I have to admit, we have not heard the last of her yet. This girl loves to lie, and party, so it will catch up with her again. T

I don't think it's right to interview perspective jurors, it should just be 12 random people. I'm sure that's how it was intended to be.

Also, I think the jury was tired of being away from home so they didn't want to disagree and be hung. Just my 2 cents anyway...

This jury got it wrong according to most polls and we as Americans have the right and indeed the responsibility to speak up and disagree if we want. No jury or other American institution should be so sacrosanct as it is somehow wrong for the American public to disagree with it if it chooses.

I agree. I think this is one concept our founding fathers thought was very important for every man to have the right to disagree w what government at any level does w/o fear of retaliation. I don't think we can fault the foundings fathers for not having the forethought to account for paid interviews by jurors - such a thing did not exist! Perhaps this really needs to be contemplated - do we, the American ppl, believe jurors should be able to profit from their "civil duty" as a juror?

Anybody want to be her for halloween?
 

I heard that mask sold for almost $1 million on Ebay and they were checking to see if it was some kind of big hoax. Why would anyone pay that kind of money when this fall those masks will be everywhere for under $50.00! If you really want to be scarey at Halloween, that is the mask to wear, though! Little kids - and big ones - will all run screaming.

Just think - Casey Anthony never has to buy a Halloween costume from now on. She can just go as herself!

I sure pray that woman never has another child! :(

I hope she has to return to Florida to serve her probation time, her lawyer can't keep her in hiding forever and then she can get her mental health:eek:counseling.

Me too! I'd like to see her have to return to Florida.

I feel so bad for those people that live in her county and near her parents home. this has to be a nightmare.

I can't imagine Anyone wanting a mask of Casey, let alone paying that much money for one. That's crazy!!:eek:

Yea, I bet. I am glad I live in North Jacksonville, Fl. Those poor people,,,

We use to come to the GA/FLA football games but they got to rowdy for us.

Well the top bid could have been $1mil, but who put the highest real bid? I could go on there and bid $2 mil with no intention on paying. And if you don\'t sell on ebay, it doesn\'t really matter if you don\'t have 100% feedback.

That mask is pretty freaky though.

Does anyone know if she reported for probation? I heard on the news it was supposed to be Fri?

Yea!!! I have never been to one.
