Casey Anthony - guilty, or not?

And for the record...if I was ever to be accused of a crime that i wasn't guilty of...I would be taking the stand in my own defense. I am a mom, I have a child...if she were ever to have been murdered and I stood accused...no one could keep me off of the stand to have my say. No one could keep me out of the media to combat the circus around my daughter's death.

But then again....look what the media did to John and Patsy Ramsey. It took over 10 years for technology to develop along far enough to exonerate them both (but not quick enough before Patsy passed away).....

Makes you think what the impact the media, and all its avenues to paint distorted pictures of cases like this, plays on our judicial system.

What astounds me is how someone could admit to covering up an "accidental" death and only get a max of 4 years in prison for it. Whether the little girl was killed or died accidentally the fact that her body wasn't recovered for so long made it extremely difficult to have any real investigation as to the cause of her death. So how could she get a max of 4 years for this? This isn't just about lying, she was obstructing the investigation. Not that I really believe the drowning story.

The theory that the child drowned and evil father decides this needs to be covered up doesn't make a lick of sense to me. If a child accidentally drowns of course there will be an investigation and it's going to be questioned why the adults in the house weren't looking after her better. However if you try to cover up a death by going out to bury a body there are way too many things that could go wrong and if discovered you are going to be in lots more hot water than reporting an accidental death. I would think a former police officer like the father would know this better than anyone. It makes no sense.

Also was there any solid proof offered that the mother had been abused or how this connected to the crime? The defense bringing this in seems quite reckless to me. All they have to do is offer a hint of suggestion and have little Casey slump down in her chair to look more child-like herself but offer no real proof? How many women who were abused as children would try to cover up their child's "accidental" death and then move in with their boyfriend and go out partying?
