The American Judicial System FAILED epically with this Casey Anthony stuff.

I was seriously considering law at one point, but from a biotechnology perspective. But I could never work for such a CORRUPT institution. Yeah, healthcare delivery and systems have problems, but at least you get to do some MARGINAL slice of good for someone.

*shrug* It worked the way I thought it should. Circumstantial evidence is not physical evidence and is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

There was like 200+ pieces of evidence... NONE OF WHICH WAS LOOKED AT BY THE JURORS!

The voir dire process was exhausted by both the defense and the prosecution... here's a question... WHY ARE THE JURORS IN HIDING NOW? WHY ARE THEY FEARFUL FOR THEIR LIVES?

Still, the prosecution had to understand that trying a capital murder case with circumstantial evidence would probably carry some risks.

1) What evidence was physically tying her to the crime?
2) What does that question have to do with the purpose of the judicial system and whether it succeeded or failed in this instance?

(P.S. I'm not trying to be argumentative but conversational in tone.)

Sure the prosecution REALLY effed up... should not have gone for first degree murder.

Pittsburgh Faculty of Law must be livid!

I've had numerous lawyers that are family friends in the past few days say that this is an embarrassment to their profession.
 
Hahaha, this reminds me of a random text I got last semester. It's originally a blog post, thus the formatting. Enjoy.

-------------------------------------------------------------

About a week ago, I was rudely awakened at 6:38 a.m. by a text message. Since it was a Friday and I had no class, there was no reason for me to be awake before noon, much less seven. I decided to play along, hoping I'd either A) find out who the person was by deductive reasoning, or B) entertain myself for a good chunk of my day. Below are a few of the (unedited) text messages sent back and forth, with a bit of commentary added for fun.

???: Good morning Its Friday! I did email you and i wa going to wait and call ya tonite but i thought if its ok with you we could text each other today

[At this point, I had absolutely no idea who was texting me. I checked my email: nothing. Must be a wrong number. But I decided to send a generic response, just in case.]

Me: I haven't checked my email, what did you need

???: Its Mary from bbw you sent me a message sayin with your email a phone number so we can visit LOL i am not work related 😉

[BBW? I wasn't sure what this was--maybe a mis-typing of BWW, as in Buffalo Wild Wings? I figured this next text would be the deal-breaker.]

Me: Oh hey boo, what up

[No one in their right mind would respond to that, right? But oh no, Mary does.]

???: Just workin and gettin stuff done

Me: Haha workin hard or hardly workin

Me: 😉

???: Well i have an in home daycare and i have 5 to 7 lil kids everyday that range in age 10 months to 4 years old and 4 of the kids are boys so you tell me LOL workin hard or hardly workin What about you? sittin at your desk with coffee?

Me: Oh wow that does sound hard. Yeah you know me, decided to sleep in, just got to work

???: Its ok you deserve to sleep in i am sure you work hard i do love my work and we have so much fun and there are days that get rough but its worth it

[I think at this point a friend who had come downstairs for breakfast Googled the meaning of "BBW." It stands for "Big, Beautiful Women," a dating website for *larger* women to find love. This would explain the next text.]

???: Well ok how long has it been since you have dated if you don't mind me askin

Me: Well I got out of a long relationship a year ago and I've finally started gettin back into the dating world. Honestly I just don't wanna have my heart broken again :/

[Lies. All lies.]

Me: What about you

[At this point, Mary essentially told me her entire life story. She'd been married twice: her first husband chose drugs and alcohol over her and her two girls, and she moved out to the east coast to be with her second husband, but after six weeks she couldn't take it anymore and moved back to Oklahoma. Also, I found out my name was Perry. Waaay too much information to handle on a Friday morning. But she kept going.]

Me: Tell me more about yourself

???: I am a simple woman i like walkin in the park or a trail holden hands and talkin and alittle kiss here and there layin out on a blanket lookin at the night sky i do like being outside when its not blisterin HOT

[no response from me]

???: I can take care of myself and have never been the kind of woman who looks to a man to pay my bills that is wrong in my book there is a right time for that but thats only for marriage and even then that takes both i am independant however i want a man in my life that is forever and not just for sex.

[no response from me]

???: I tend to shot straight from the hip i will tell you how it is and not just what ya wanna hear i expect the same from you.

[no response from me]

???: I am fine with sex in relationships BUT to me its makin love because in this i am given you a part of me and i am a very passionate woman makin out means alot

[ten minutes later]

Me: Okay, I can't do this anymore...I don't know who Perry is, but I am not him. You texted me and woke me up at 6:38 IN THE MORNING on my day off. I wasn't going to lead you on but I was really pissed that you had woken me up, and I figured this situation would never present itself again. Maybe you should check your bbw inbox which I'm guessing means Big Beautiful Women, which I, unlike Perry, am not into. Hopefully you can text Perry's actual number, not mine, as you mistakenly did early this morning. I wish you the best, with him or any other man you find, but here's a tip: don't text someone at 6:38 a.m. ever again. It makes you seem a teeny bit desperate. Best of luck!

And that was the end of Mary.
-------------------------------------------------------------

tl;dr? Don't text me in the wee hours of the morning.

Maubs don't worry, I know you're not trying to be argumentative.

I will answer #2 first...

The judicial system is supposed to provide a fair trial... under the rules of our court systems, a jury is selected based on not having heard anything about the case. In today's digital age this case was BLASTED all over social media outlets, if my relatives in Montreal heard about it, you have be damn sure that all of Florida knew.

Now... when a jury deliberates as per my law classes in school there is generally one or two people who command the jury. If there is an dissidence amongst the jurors then he/she can convince the others to change their minds. Trial by jury is not immune to outside influences. I don't care what anyone says.

Sure Casey Anthony was not convicted... but her pathological lies aren't helping her case.
 
The prosecution did a terrible job. It's their fault that she walked, really. It's a shame.

Power outages suck in general. I remembered when I lived in Latin America we had rolling power outages everyday. Sometimes they lasted for days or weeks. Then it started to affect the water system ...

That definitely would suck. Power outages here generally just occur during storms. Although it wasn't storming here, just raining. Oh well, Colorado doesn't really know how to deal with rain.

I remember this one time I ordered a drink... a margarita... the waitress was like we don't have fresh ice, just cubes.

I was actually kind of upset. Then I realized... shut up and drink up... there are thirsty kids in Africa.

I hated the football team. They were DICKS!

I went back home recently... and 2 of them are now COPS. Bullying and getting paid to do it.

Jerks.

Love it when I see people and I tell them I'm applying to medical school and they're like... "Oh... that's nice. *Eff, shoulda been nicer to you*"

Same here...gorilla necks and dead brain cells have always been a turn-off, no matter how attractive. 😳
 
I'm not really into dumb jocks, either. I like smart, nice jocks though! I like smart, nice guys of any type.
 
I used to be a jock in high school. Whoops.

NOT
I Played tennis :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:


I was mainly the musician guy. I played like every instrument and was the guy that wrote symphonies on his class notes.

I despise this woman. Watching her commentary during the Minneapolis bridge collapse made me sick to my stomach. She doesn't report anything novel, nor does she take any proactive steps to remedy injustice. She just b*tches and says things are bad, as if the world wouldn't have realized otherwise. Plus her accent annoys the hell out of me. As does her general lack of intelligence.
