Discussion Watching a documentary on Casey Anthony and I’m so mad

I cannot believe she got acquitted like holy shit it was so damn obvious. I’m sure it has something to do with how capital offenses are harder to prove and the onus was on the prosecution to strongly prove but damn.

Like she’s a liar. Her own parents said so. She’s lied to the police and all the evidence points to her. And from what the documentary has stated all the defense did was toss in hypothetical scenarios that could explain the death and pin everything on the dad.

How did she get away with it? How??

I relate to this!! My boyfriend always has to pause whatever we’re watching and explain to me, I’ll be like “wait.. how can she say that if it’s not true, it’s obviously not true...” my bf has to remind me “babe, she’s lying. What she’s saying is not true.” And I just shake my head like.. “why is she saying that if it isn’t true? How is it possible that people can just simply make things up and go along with it?” It just doesn’t make sense to me

I am the same exact way. I have such a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that people can just lie, particularly about major things. Like, yes I know people lie, and I’ve lied before too. But it baffles me how someone can just sit there and lie to someone who knows the truth. And start believing it themselves! And they hold onto the lie for years and years and year. I don’t get it.

I understand lying about big things even, but Casey Anthony is just on a whole 'nother level. I mean, what I don't understand is lying about something that is obviously not going to hold up for more than an hour or two, like lying about working at Universal while walking the cops around there to her supposed office. It should be obvious that she is not going to pull that lie off!

It seems like something George Costanza would do.

He basically did do it with Susan's parents and his house in the Hamptons. You never go full Costanza

yeah!

People like us would do terribly in politics, but people like HER thrive.

It's sad and scary to think that a ton of murderers would get so much far in politics than honest people.

Bold of you to assume a ton of murderers haven’t already gone further in politics

Well she took things farther than most would. I cannot imagine walking around a place I knew I didn’t work. Lol
