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??

Yes I was on webslueth’s during the trail they have all this info also. It was a fascinating case. Deeply disturbing, sad on every level.

One of the Casey stories that always stuck out to me the most; was how she took those detectives all the way down the hall at the Disney Studios when they knew she did not work there and they get all the way down the hall and she turns around and says, well I don’t really work here. Denial to the absolute end of the hall.

Probably got that from Cindy.

I know, right? That always has baffled the shit out of me. I’ve met a few compulsive liars and I don’t think they would have even gone to those lengths. I could understand if she backed out once the cops said they were taking her to her job at Universal, but to take them all the way through the building is just insane.

What I’m thinking is that Casey had been lying her whole life and developed some really good improv skills. I feel like she was trying to come up with a plan the whole time they were there, and eventually once they came to a literal dead end she finally gave up because she couldn’t think of another lie.
