WOW...Casey says the babysitter took my child. Found out later that this was all a big lie. Child was never took by any babysitter. Child turns up dead down the street from Casey's house. Casey still found not guilty...I don't want to argue the Zimmerman case any more. I don't see how you can think Z is guilty of manslaughter, and just leave it at that.
I am only vaguely familiar with the Casey Anthony trial, but I recently watched a "Nova" (I think it was Nova) episode on PBS about forensic "science". Based on that, I have thrown in the towel on most forensic science; I think it is almost entirely hokum. One of the examples the show used was testimony by an "expert on human corpses" in the Anthony prosecution. The guy testified that he smelled the trunk of Anthony's car and determined that the scent was that of a dead human body... not a decaying piece of chicken, or a dead mouse... a dead human. I have to say that if I was on that jury I would have rolled my eyes and been very skeptical of everything else the prosecution said.
And all you have to say is maybe the smell in the car was not of a dead body but a dead chicken or mouse. If I ever wanted to do a crime, I know I should do it in Florida.
