In my opinion, Casey Anthony got lucky for only one reason, Calley's body was too decomposed for the coroner to find out what actually killed her. All the circumstantial evidence pointed towards Casey, but the Prosecution didn't have the hard evidence to put her away. Casey basically lied through her fucking teeth throughout the whole damn deal and she lucked out due to a technicality. |

I wouldn't blame the jury at all in this, they were doing their job, and they did it right. I myself am scheduled to be on a jury in about a week's time. Fun times. |

To me, all it proves is how unreliable the jury really is, especially when they don't have enough evidence to work with. If the lawyers know how to play the game, they can get the jury right into their hands to win the case. I think the whole process should be revised so that holes like this own can be overcome if not completely bypassed.

The jury has done nothing wrong, and the system has worked correctly, because there is no way for us to know whether she did it or not. Certainly she behaved suspiciously, but suspicious behaviour has never before been enough to convict someone, and it certainly shouldn't be now. There is no one to blame for all this, the unfortunate thing is that the body was too decomposed by the time they found it to find any meaningful evidence. I'd love to say this is a rare thing, but a lot of murder trials (I'd almost say the majority), never result in a conviction because of lack of evidence. It's the only fair way to do it. |

Vaguely heard the BBC say why some kid murder is currently making waves over in America (me not clued up on it)
In the meantime, although unlikely, did any Americans catch wind of this piece of news as well? US 'hate groups' bolstered by Obama's election Click link above to read entire story.... (Yes, I know, perhaps it was overly idealistic to think that to have a leader born from two races that were segregated for hundreds of years in that country/cointinent over there would dispel some of the racial hatred (obviously not all) and make Americans unite across races rather than keep sticking to one) x.x;; Quote:

@Mystique Old news, actually. Obama has received more threats than any other President, and federal law enforcement is keeping a close eye on hate groups. Unlike European nations, the US has few restrictions on hate speech and spreading lies due to the First Amendment, and I do not believe these groups will disappear anytime soon.

I've really come to the conclusion over the last 12 months that the pretense is about gone.. these thugs are going to break the US and then scamper off to the Caymans and Switzerland if anyone starts shooting... otherwise the US will be in the "Mexico" model (98% poverty, 1% personal-nation families with their own armies).

Which reminds me of your comparison of modern plutocratism and feudalism. I think the destinction of both (if we subtract technological differences) is marginal at best.

I suspect you're right about them fleeing, too... I imagine that it will only take a few would-be snipers to send them into full ass-showing flight. Hopefully their departure will also mean a corrosion of their influence, but I'm not holding my breath.
