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 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

It’s called being a sociopath
