Yeah, real good societies just stone people to death if they're suspicious of them. Maybe we should brand a giant M on her back. That'd be good for our society. To abandon the legal system would be to abandon justice altogether. That's a stupid article, no offense to you Kevin, but it's ludicrous to suppose that our justice system doesn't work just because it finds certain people who seem guilty to be innocent.
Think about what if she actually is innocent. Because nobody has proven otherwise, it's quite a jump to say that this shows a fault in the legal system. That article seems to basically suggest that any time a horrible crime happens, and there is a serious suspect, then that suspect should be punished without even bothering to have a trial.
Justice was served. Time to move on. |
I don't agree with Kevin but you are actually wrong. She wasn't proven innocent, there simply wasn't enough evidence to prove her guilty. Like the dutch guy who killed the American girl in the Bahamas. He later killed another girl but they could never prove he did the other murder, they just didn't have the evidence even though most people would agree that he did it. |

I never said she was proven innocent. I said she wasn't proven guilty. |

"Think about what if she actually is innocent. Because nobody has proven otherwise"
Is an ambiguous statement that translates into, no one hasn't proven she isn't innocent, which is different from not being proven guilty. |

wat
It's not an ambiguous statement at all. Think that she is innocent, nobody has proven otherwise. Nobody has proven otherwise means that nobody has proven her guilty. Your reading comprehension can't really be that bad.
"no one hasn't proven she isn't innocent" :wtf: |

“Everyone wonders why we didn’t speak to the media right away,” she said. “It was because we were sick to our stomach to give that verdict. We were crying and not just the women. It was emotional and we weren’t ready. We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial.”
She continues, ”I did not say she was innocent.” |

| She was also given an offer to do porn for Vivid Entertainment (largest porn producer in the States), but they have since terminated the offer stating that the backlash has been worse then they expected. |

You're missing the point. Yes, "justice" was served in black and white legal terms, but there's a bigger picture of societal degradation that is being overlooked- that is what the article was saying. And IGK is right... she wasn't found innocent, they just didn't have enough hard evidence to convict her of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Thanks to her web of lies hindering the investigation, which she was found guilty of, by the time they found the remains it was too decomposed for a good forensic search.
The author never says we need to abandon our legal system, Dr. Strawman... in fact he says this:
| quote: | | The American justice system is the greatest legal system in the world but like any other it is fallible. |
and
| quote: | | The best legal system in the world cannot bring justice to Caylee Anthony’s killer. This is the price we pay for liberty but it is hardly an endorsement of our system. |
and
| quote: | | That our legal system lets the guilty walk free is sad but arguably necessary for the maintenance of liberty. |
and
| quote: | | Casey Anthony got off because she worked the system. In a fair and impartial court system this happens. |

You know very well that something like this matters to a much larger portion of the public that anything involving economics, national debt, medicare, social security, and any other number of subjects that actually have an impact on everyday life. |

| I don't see the "societal degradation" here. What is new in any of this? People murdering their kids? No. Failing to convict someone who is probably guilty? No... |
