you need to do a last word on why caseys parents are acting as crazy
as she is! now is the time for her parents to protect caylees rights an
encourage casey to do the right thing and tell the truth.

None of this would be happening if she cooperated from the start. Sinse she has failed to do so, I say strip her of her rights!!!!

Jami, your Last Word are always very good and at making us think.

What you said about Casey Anthony is a very powerful statement. Your absolutely right, “Innocent until PROVEN guilty”. I had to stop & think about that, to give Casey the benefit of the doubt. However, I realized, if it weren’t for the cadaver dogs & the presence of cloroform in her trunk, …. maybe possibly, the court of public opinion wouldn’t be as strong as finding her guilty. Not to mention, the sickening amount of lies she tells every single person she comes in contact in; and, the fact, she has NO REGARD for her beautiful baby girl, which she has shown time after time, and again. She very well indeed, may have a bias trial. However, it is every bit of her own fault. Karma may even come back to bite her, who knows. I do not understand nor even comprehend, why her family is so much protecting her. I understand why they are in denial of their granddaughter (& neice), but, come on, they’ve got to know! Especially, with the Dad being a former homicide investigator! …… I feel if Casey Anthony wanted to be treated right, she should have done just the same. Her web of lies & deceit will not help her, but only hurt her. (even if it court of public of pionion)Surely, she knows this. …… I can’t help, but, to keep thinking of Caylee. The beautiful 3 year old, who I feel as in her last moments, she was crying out to her mother, … the one who hurt her. ….. /// Also, say, for a moment, IF ( i f ), Caylee w-a-s with a supposed person, you think Casey would be going nuts to get her back. I can not stand to think of the fear and how scared, a 3 year old would be not being in the “safety” of their mother arms or the family they are so use to being around. Any child would be extremely traumatized, I would think. Casey’s lack of concern, even if this was the case, if totally Nill. Another reason, why she is convicted in Court of Public Opinion. …..
….
I love ya, Jami! and your show! As well as the other anchors on Tru TV! …… And, love, Nancy Grace & Anderson Cooper, too! and can’t forget American Morning & Glen Beck!

She doesn’t deserve protection of her rights. She forfieted her rights when she lied to police time and time again. This is not a game. Where is that baby? Bottom line. Her parents should be locked up also, until they tell the authorities all they truly know. Put that baby to rest. SHAME!

Excuse me Vic,

Strip her of her rights? Weather we like her or not is irrelevant. Our civil rights exist to protect each of us from overzealous prosecution and to allow us access to legal council. If you give away her rights today, you’re giving away your own rights tomorrow.

Has anyone else here ever believed something and learned later that it simply wasn’t true? Anyone who’s being honest in the least will have to say, “Yes.” Keep that in mind when looking railroad anyone in the court of public misinformation.

Here we go again…….don’t tell the truth, lie about everything, even if it means that your daughter was killed (by her Mom) or abducted (as the Mom says). I know you are a defense lawyer but “your last word” is troubling to me!!!!!!!!!

I agree, she should have the same rights as any other person who’s facing losing their liberty.
It’s hard to feel sorry for this tot-mom. She’s not concerned about her daughter, as the rest of the country is. Otherwise, she’d be working with the police, or a private investigator, or her bail bondsmen, or anybody else who has stepped up to help her.
She clearly doesn’t want her to be found. “It’s not in her best interest,” as some in her camp would say.
Her daughter doesn’t seem to have many rights at this moment, so I don’t feel sorry for mommy.
I do feel for her parents and brother. Although, they’re going to have to wake up someday, and it’s going to hurt!

Mom didn’t report the child missing! The child’s grandmother made the report.

First of all Jami Floyd, you should know that the phrase that a person is innocent until proven guilty refers to legal as opposed to factual guilt. In every case, the defendant either committed the offense or he/she did not; a fact that will remain true regardless of whether the jury acquits or convicts the defendant. The phrase means simply that a person is not legally guilty until a jury returns a verdict of guilty—which is little more than a tautology.

Factual….Casey Anthony IS guilty of murdering her daughter Caylee Anthony.
Legal….Pending a Grand Jury’s indictment and the jury verdict IF said Grand Jury hands down an indictment.

Based on all the information, we have strong reason to believe that the Grand Jury will indeed hand down an indictment.

I would like to see Nancy Grace interview Casey. Casey is hiding all facts of Caylee …. if she didn’t want Caylee, she could have EASILY found her a loving family.

Charge Casey with murder - maybe THEN she will start to speak some truth.

I agree with Vic. She sealed her fate when she didn’t call the cops when her daughter went “missing”. She’s offered no help and has lied everytime she opens her mouth. Yes, we need to worry about rights for all and trying someone in public, however, sometimes a person who lies, cheats and steals and puts other’s in harms way, as well as using taxpayers monies by having the officers chase down bogus leads, needs to be off of the streets. Get Real. If I had done ANY of these things I would be in a cell. My family wouldn’t even think about getting me out until I was honest.

What? Where on earth are Caylee’s human rights?
Caylee’s birthright to grow up with “devoted loving parents.”
Where’s her privilege “to grow up,” period.
Where’s Caylee’s “moral right” to a respectful burial.
Instead, she is thrown away like refuse and by the one person, she most depended on to take care of her.
Where’s Caylee’s “right for justice.”
Where’s Caylee’s entitlement to live on this earth in peaceful conditions.
Why! Simply because she is…
…a child of God.

What about the rights of Caylee? The VICTIM! We spend far too much time on protecting the rights of the accused. I think it is time to start protecting the victims. Furthermore, Casey would not have been convicted in the court of public opinion if she had cooperated with authorities from the beginning. People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing.

Who’s rights are being impacted here? Casey, who has an attorney, who is an adult, who has a say in her life, who has lied to everyone that she has come in to contact with, or Caylee, who is (was) a child, has no right to control or make choices in her life, does not have an attorney or parent to represent her? I ask you Jami. Who’s rights are being violated? Who’s rights are more important? I’ll tell you what Jami, why don’t you find Caylee and ask her what she feels about her rights. —and that’s the last word.

I believe Casey would be getting a fair shake in the public view if she’d acted like a parent that was sincerely concerned about her missing child. She hasn’t done alot to show herself as innocent so what is her community, peers and family supposed to think? Innocent people don’t stone wall police, sit in jail with their mouth shut and not give out information that could help them find her daughter or fabricate wild stories about every question put to her. I don’t believe it’s the public not giving her a fair shake, it’s her NOT giving the public a fair shake at seeing her as not guilty.

And, given the media saturation we have these days, anyone, guilty or innocent, can be treated this way. We are a voyeour bunch of folks. We’re curious by nature.

I am seriously outraged!! As Deanna says; Where are Caylee’s rights??? You must be one of her many men. She should be stripped of her rights - Looks to me like she killed her own daughter and doesn’t even care!! She is a murderer and murderer’s rights come when they are in jail - 3 meals a day - those are her rights!!

With all the lies she has been telling, she belongs in jail. What a sick thing to do to a young innocent child. Her rights should be terminated because of what everyone knows she did.

WHAT ABOUT CAYLEE’S RIGHTS…SHE HAD THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND PLAY AND BE LOVED. WHAT MOTHER WOULD DO NOTHING BUT STEAL AND TRAMP AROUND WHEN HER BABY IS MISSING? CASEY ANTHONY HAS DONE NOTHING BUT WHINE AND LIE SINCE THIS WHOLE THING STARTED. THE PROTESTORS AND PUBLIC LOVE THIS CHILD MORE THAN HER MOTHER…
NO-IN THIS INSTANCE-CASEY DESERVES NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT
CAYLEE HAD RIGHTS AND HER MOTHER VIOLATED THEM. PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT..,..,

As a mother and grandmother I would be crazy too. I would force my daughter to tell the truth and if she didn’t I would disclose whatever I knew to the authorities. Caylee’s rights are the one that need to be considered first, then Casey’s rights as it pertains to a fair trial. Police and the media need to work together , authorities should compile their evidence, make decisions, before disclosing anything to the public. Can Casey get a fair trial?……Not in Orlando…….I’m not sure she can anywhere since this case has gone national.

You have really got to be kidding, what about that baby’s rights, everyone knows this child is with god, and has been for a very long time…Casey is getting a big kick out of all of this, she is a media star, she will never tell where that baby’s body is, she thinks no body no crime, ah but will she be very surprised…..she is going to get hers.

And as for her mother I don’t know what’s wrong with her, I think she knows what happened to that baby and that that child is dead, and her brother doesn’t want to take a lie detector test, ask yourself why, he must know something.

I think that her mother, not her father her mother know that she killed this child, and that her mother is just trying to hide the truth…..BUT AS WE ALL KNOW, THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT, THEY WILL FIND THIS CHILD, I KNOW THEY WILL

STRIP HER OF HER RIGHTS, GIVE ME A BREAK, SHE IS LOVING ALL OF THIS SHE IS A LIER, HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE ONE……

SHE WILL BE PROSECUTED, I BELEIVE THAT THEY HAVE MUCH MORE EVIDENCE THAN THEY ARE TELLING, DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THEY WILL TELL EVERYTHING THEY HAVE…JUST WATCH AND SEE.

It’s too bad having no life and being an ignoramus isn’t against the law. Otherwise, that mob camped out in front of her house would be charged.

IF CASEY WEREN’T ACTING LIKE A GUILTY PERSON, THEN THE PUBLIC WOULDN’T BE THINKING THAT SHE IS GUILTY. AS FAR AS HER RIGHTS GO, SHE GAVE THEM UP WHEN SHE LIED TO THE POLICE AND THE INVESTIGATORS THAT WERE TRYING, AND ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND CAYLEE!! TRY HER AND CONVICT HER IN A COURT OF LAW AND PUT HER IN A CELL NEXT TO OJ. HE CAN USE THE COMPANY.

No, none of this would be happening if she didn’t kill her kid. I’m not too worried about having MY legal rights impinged upon. It’s not that hard. You just don’t steal friends’ checks, money from relatives, or murder your children. You know, you just don’t break the law.

She has a right to be free, she did nothing wrong.

I have been watching about this since day one. Yes, my first reaction was there is yet another mother who killed her child. I was sad even cried. What helped me with my saying she killed her daughter, is that one she said the nanny took her, yet never told anyone. Never seems to even care that her child is gone, and even more so won’t even help in finding her daughter. I know that she is still going on facebook, and myspace as I even looked for her on there and added her as a friend, today an her myspace reads ” won 9 motions only 3 more to go”. I am sorry but I don’t buy that she has no idea where her daughter is or that she did not kill her! It makes me sad, cause as a mother I can’t even think of how it would be if my child was taken by someone, but I do know that I would be out finding her!

casey anthony in my mind ,, wanted this attention,, but she did it for all the wrong reasons,, to put her little girl in jeopardy for the spotlight, however,,, i feel that george and cindy know what happened to this little girl,, for it was cindy who dialed 911 and got this ball rolling in the first place,, now shes doing an about face .. saying others had something to do with caylees disappearance,,,, its all been about casey in the first place,, the attention, the cameras,, the publicity, well shes got it now,, and will be indicted on murder charges,,,, if she told the truth to begin with and that it was possibly an accident this wouldnt be goin on now,, oh and i feel that maybe ,, the reason why casey lied about who the father was ,, is that maybe its george or lee anthony,,, did anyone even consider that possiblity,,, casey doesnt even look like george and cindy,, and the little girl caylee looks too much like george,, and that maybe casey was adopted to this family.. you cant leave anything out during an investigation,,, to the authorities please check this venue out ,, i have a gut feeling on this one,, every guy casey has mentioned was not the father including the alleged man who allegedly died in that car crash,, it wasnt true,,,,, and i say put her back in jail where she belongs on those other charges

and what about the rights of this little girl,, who is speaking out for her,and maybe thats why this family is so dysfunctional is because either george or lee is the father of caylee,, get it,, casey ,, lee,, = caylee,,,,,this is my opinion from the second month into this investigation,,,,, i think george or lee is caylees father,,,,, there have been cases of incest within a family and the family denies it, then eventually the victim speaks out down the line,, just my opinion,, so dont boo me,,,,,

one more thing please,,,, and why doesnt lee anythony want to give his dna???????? makes you wonder,,,,,,

There is no sign of who was the father,Casey has her parents protecction above all, did not finish school, did not work, they are afraid of her, can there be incest involvement?
Why this parents acting this way?

Caylee Anthony had rights too, namely to be protected by her mother from harm. Regardless of what truly happened her mother failed her at least once by not immediately reporting her missing.. We all know in our hearts that something terrible happened to that little girl and while procedurally everything should proceed by the book, hopefully she sill crack under pressure and give police what they want.

Ms. Floyd seems to think only defense lawyers are smart enough to figure these crimes out . Please all they do is drag things out and try to confuse the issues with all their crazy little theories . It’s about time the public is allowed to be more involved with these cases . They need to be kept in the public eye . These cases need to be transparent .

I can’t beleive it!! Rights?? She deserves NONE! It makes me so sick to read and watch how completly stupid the whole Anthony family is! This little girl has been the last thing on any of the Anthony’s mind!! I just can’t bare to think if something were to happen to my little girl..not a day would go by that I would not be out there searching..HELPING THE COPS SEARCH!! I would not be sleeping let alone partying..As for me I think they all need to be locked up!!

She is being coy and playing games with her :rights:, and that is the Last Word.

Casey Anthony’s actions are what has caused her to be convicted in the court of public opinion. And since when does forensic evidence have to be processed only after a person has been charged?
The fact that you are so incredibly biased always for the defense is why I have stopped watching your show and give little weight to your analysis of any case.

Communications from jail leaked. I thought these were public records. If Anthony is convicted, I hope she gets the death penalty, because Susan Smith is in prison having sex with guards. Personally I think we should be like the Brits and ban all pre-trial publicity. Hey that might put a crimp in some talking heads income.

i feel she has more than her share of her rights. she has violated just about every basic law their is and she is out of jail, still refusing to cooperate at all with the authorities on any level. she has people crawling out of the woodwork to give her free assistance-lawyers, spokemans, bondsman ect. what is she complaining about. none of us would get that consideration. the courts have bent over backwards in her favor… but, i guess is would be ebarrassimng to have the truth come out. which is all the stuff thats been “leak” is. the truth hurts, but what really hurts is the fact that little caylee is deceased and the mother wont even pretend to care. she could at least fake it. so, i have no sympathy for casy at all. i will show her the same respect she has shown her poor daughter, may she rest in peace.

What about Caylee’s rights. She was missing for 31 days before she was reported missing. Did anyone worry about her rights when she wasn’t seen by her grandparents or the neighbors or Casey’s friends for over a month. What went wrong here. Kids always talk to Grandma and Grandpa , the neighbors and the friends yet the whole circle of people didn’t lift a finger. That is a scary thought. Why didn’t anyone look out for this innocent child?

Casey had all the opportunities before house arrest to assit in finding her daughter……Her time is UP!!….She gave up her rights when she lied, stole and failed to report her daughter missing!

LAST WORD!! Get used to prison food Casey, your time is due!

I think the way she acts and she lies make all these thinks to happen, she hasnt tell the truth, for me she is not innocent and i would hate to think that she is going to get away with the dissapirance or her child.

Jamie- Thank you for a different view. I guess Casey Anthony will not get a fair trail. That is if it every comes to a murder trail.
I have no idea about DNA and I’ll leave that to you and others.
But, a judge sees no problem that the street where Casey Anthony and her family live are swamped with protesters. I saw on the News that not even the trash collector or Police can drive down the street. What happens when the law seems to incite violence? I am so grateful not to live on that street. I do not think I could take those protesters or News Media 24/7. So what happens when some neighbor calls 911 and the ambulance can not get to them in time?

I saw that Fox news put a cam up to help protect the Anthonys.

Even I am starting to feel sorry for the Anthonys…and I think all 4 of them are gulity!

” You have the right to remain silent, if you give up that right anything you say can and will be used against you”
Now, what part of that don’t so many people understand? Her LAWYER told her to keep her trap shut, she has the right to remain silent and not to incriminate herself.
The cops too don’t seem to understand that basic right either as they are GUILTY of leaking their info to the press, the cops are the one’s prosecuting her in the press, the cops have fomented the protests in front of the home. All this in an all out attack to paint her guilty before any trial, using her RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT and the public’s gullibility against her. Before any of you attack me out of legal ignorance, yes I believe a crime has been committed and yes I think she is probably guilty, but that doesn’t take law enforcement off the hook for the dirty tactics and leaks to the press that VIOLATE her civil rights!!!

I CANNOT IMAGINE ANY MOTHER DANCING, DRINKING, LAUGHING
AND NOT MENTIONING HER DAUGHTER FOR OVER A MONTH.
IS CASEY GUILTY, WELL, THE FORENSIC EVIDENCE WILL
PROVE SHE IS. HOPEFULLY THE CHILD’S BODY WILL BE FOUND
BY EQUA SEARCH. CASEY ‘S LAWYER IS PLAYING THE “POOR
VICITIM” JUST A BIT TOO MUCH. WHO IS PAYING THE LAW BILL
FOR CASEY? IS HE PAYING BY TRADE?? NEVER HEARD OF
A CLIENT SPENDING EVERY DAY, ALL DAY WITH THE LAWYER?
SHE HAS BEEN TREATED FAIRLY, SHE DESERVES TO GO ON
TRIAL FOR MURDER. SHE MUST LOSE HER FREEDOM. I FEEL
BADLY FOR H ER MOTHER AND FATHER TO THINK THEY RAISED
A DAUGHTER LIKE THIS. SHE LIES, STEALS AND FINALLY
DOES AWAY WITH HER DAUGHTER. CASEY IS A SOCIOPATH,
SHE HAS TEARS ONLY FOR HERSELF. WAKE UP DEFENSE
ATTORNEY…

Casey, Casey, Casey, It has all been about her from the start! Should it not be about Caylee? about her rights! about her life that seems to have been taken away from her at such a young age. When will it stop being about Casey? This is what she feeds on, all the attention she is getting from this.

I absolutely agree that Casey Anthony will have a hard time getting a fair trial if this situation gets to that point. Obviously this is reinforced by what we have seen with Cynthia Sommer and the way that the evidence in her trial was mishandled. Couple this with the prosecution introducing “evidence” that she went partying in the subsequent months of her husbands death and got breast enhancements they were able to convict her of a crime that was not even committed, period. The perception society or a jury has of an individual is weighed in when deciding guilt and innocence and this introduces a bias that overshadows reasonable doubt…Look at the verdict in OJ’s case for a great example of this. The word “gun” was never used on the tapes and the jury said the witnesses were not credible yet he was found guilty on ALL counts! Amazing how public opinion can tip the scales…and unfortunately damage the systems credibility even further.

I just want to say I believe we should all have the right to a fair trial , but Casey has done so much lying and she has seemed to enjoy the attention she’s gotten . I am a grandmother myself and I know why Cindy is hanging on to the belief Caylee is alive, if it were one of my grandchildren I’d have to see the body to be able to believe it…. There is nothing more prescious than a grandchild and yet alot of grand parents are forced by young mothers to watch the mother blame the child for thier mistake when they find out that motherhood is a full time job in itself . These young mothers have the child then decide the child is cramping thier style, they can’t run as they used too freely and they begin to resent the child , and argue that the grand parents while not having custody should take care of the child at the mother’s every whim, Its hard ………

Where is that little girl then, Dead.

….What about Caylee’s rights???? She did not asked to be brought into this world !! Apparently this is not the issue here!! Casey is not innocent! Please !! She snuffed out that little girl with chloroform. She either gave her enough to kill her or knock her out, and left her in that car to die. Her body started to decompose , this would not take long in the Florida heat. Traces of cholorform, decomposition & hair in the trunk of the car…BINGO Borrowing a shovel, stealing gas cans, abandoning the car with the over powering stench, partying like a she’s foot loose and fancy free, lies, lies, lies, searching websites for missing children and chloroform information, sounds like a well orchestrated plan ………. Need I say more? Can I be one of the jurors !! Justice for Caylee!!

Well Jami, Fortunately you don’t have the last word. What you’re really complaining about is the Media coverage in this case which plays a large part in the Court of Public Opinion. Constitutionally speaking, the Press has every right to report to the public everything that is leaked out about this and any other case. The public has a right to know! It’s too bad the information that is being leaked doesn”t prove her innocense. Is all of the information we are hearing true? Well, I don’t hear anything coming out that would sway the court of publlic opnion into thinking that Casey had no involvement in her daughters disapperance. The information and forensic evidence thats available concerning this case up to this point is free for public knowledge. If it looks llike a chicken, it’s probabley a chicken!! Try to get in touch with your moral compus. The rest of the world is asking; “why isn’t this woman cooperating and trying to find her daughter?” You should be asking this too. Don’t worry about her legal rights, leave that to the presiding Judge in the case:)

CASEYS, HER PARENTS ARE HIDING SOMETHING. WHY SHOULD
WE FEEL SORRY FOR CASEY AND WORRY ABOUT HER RIGHTS, WHAT ABOUT CAYLEE’S RIGHTS. THEY SURE WHERE NOT PROTECTED?

Wow…it is criminal that criminals have more rights and because of that often times get aquitted. Casey Anthony has been tried in the public because she lied and said her child was kidnapped. Americans want to believe the best in people and everyone watched anxiously hoping her story would pan out and the police would be able to get her child back from the people who stole Caylee. As the threads of her story broke, one by one, and the fabric disintegrated it was obvious that we were dealing with a cold hearted woman who not only used her parents, her best friend, her boyfriends AND her lawyer, but the American people as well. She is tried in the public because she lied to the public. There is no doubt in my mind that this woman is guilty as sin and unfortunately her family by enabling her have made it possible for the truth to never have to be uttered by Casey herself. I pray they find the body and she gets what she deserves.

OH…………… You can’t trust the prosecutors, but you can ALWAYS rely on the defense attorneys telling the truth. WHAT A LAFF !!!!

Jami you sound like a bleeding heart. We need to see if Casey Anthony’s rights are being respected? Hundreds of wrongful convictions have proven prosecutors can’t be trusted? The word “respected” isn’t in the constitution last time I looked. Just by your comments about prosecurtors, I can tell what side of the law you’re on.

If you walk like a duck, and you quack like a duck - hey, you’re a duck! Casey Anthony murdered her child and most reasonable people know it.

Absolutely nothing in this case was leaked (though Anthony’s lawyer would like you to believe that). The news channels obtained everything through freedom of speech. Try to take some time and read about Florida law.

There’s nothing to say that you can’t get a fair trial just because someone is convicted in the court of public opinion - look at OJ. He murdered two people and he got off.

Casey has really been IN NO SENCE ?(innocence) thats how she sees herself. as innocent, but the general public see’s her as IN NO SENCE. Her world is far more diranged on obscured than than any parent should have let there child get ,without seeking a mental health professional. Cindy and George have known for years this girl was not NORMAL. A persons actions, will always tell the motive.
Thank goodness this all has happened within their own family, think how sad it would have been if she went on in life and then it was found out that for years she had been doing these things to people for 20 years with lies and having had several children and then this happen.Think of how serial killers start off…they are very detatched from the real world..much like Casey

Why should she have any rights, did her little girl have any rights? Caylee Anthony’s rights were stripped away when the only person in the world that should have been protecting her let harm come to her and now is lying and hiding the truth and Caseys parents should be ashamed of how they are handling this too. Judgement day comes to all one way or another, she can’t hide this forever…….

Your total lack of sympathy for the victims in your cases is disgusting. I do not want any innocent person be convicted, however, your defense of some of the most indefensible people is appalling. You also had the inexplicable nerve to suggest that O.J. Simpson was convicted because of race?? He got away with murder because of race, not the other way around. Use defense with common sense! Please, for the sake of all of us, stop playing the race card every time a defendant is black. It is past OLD!

Jamie
Atlanta, Ga.

Why did it take so long for Casey to report her daughter mising? We’ve all seen cases where parents report their children missing after just a few hours. And this is a three-year old we’re talking about. She didn’t run away.

I’ve come to highly believe in the world of science. I also believe they make mistakes like any other type of human action, but when there is so much piled against her, and she waited over a month to report her missing?! Come on, I bet even if her own mother didn’t call in against her, she would have never reported her. If she’s such a good person as she claims, why not fess up to what happened and stop wasting multiple peoples’ time and find Caylee if she’s still alive(although I’m quite heartbroken over this case and losing hope by the day).

Amen, Jamie!! Casey has been condeemed before she’s even been tried. Sorry Vic. you can’t strip someone of their rights just because they’re not telling you what you want to hear.

There is no way Casey Anthony will ever get a fair trial. It is a travesty that she may even walk because this case has been handled in such a poor manner by all those involved, especially the media . . . . . Ahem . . . Nancy Grace!!!! The saddest possoble outcome is that she walks and no justice is ever found for little Caylee. Juts because you are free to speak doesnt mean you always should. Cant people keep their opinions to themselves even for the greater good? It seems though entertainment and money is now more important than justice.

It would be a little easier to have concern about her rights if she showed one ounce of concern over her child as complete strangers have. I mourn the loss of a child I don’t even know and that is more compassion than her own family has shown.

Jami-

Within this legal system, that you tell us is the best in the world, have you ever felt there was a fair trial? Oh, of course, my mistake, the only fair trial is one in which the defendant is found not-guilty.

This case has become a very high profile one. That is probably because of a societal predisposition to become enraged with an unfit mother. The media and public opinion may have decided that this is just such a case.

As with any high profile case, there are “leaks” of information that, maybe, shouldn’t be public knowledge. That, sometimes improperly obtained, information is what generates a public opinion, whether it be guilty or innocent.

But, our imperfect legal system takes these problems into consideration, by believing that a properly selected jury of our peers can be found that will ignore any information that is presented outside of the courtroom. This is the foundation of the American legal system.

Do you still believe in this system, Jami? Do you think it no longer works? There is another option. Trial by judge. Do away with the “jury of our peers”. One judge, or a panel of judges, deciding all the cases. Keeping “public opinion” out of the courtroom and eliminating the possibility of “average Joe” bringing preconceived notions, and even complete ignorance, with him into deliberations. Only the evidence considered and applied properly to the rule of law.

Now that is a fair trial, even by your defense oriented mindset. But, that would prevent a defense attorney from confusing the “unclean masses” in order to free an obviously guilty person, wouldn’t it? Don’t whine Jami!! This legal system, with all its flaws, has provided you with a pretty good living. First as a defense attorney twisting the truth for a jury, now as a “journalist”, and I use that term loosely, who continues twisting the truth.

Who has protected Caylees rights? Know one. She is the victim here not Casey. Casey has rights to a fair trail if need be but she needs to tell someone where Caylee is so everyone can rest in peace!!!

I think casey’s parents are involved somehow.. i think caylee was taken somewhere to be protected from the grandparents.. and is still alive.. family refusing to lie detector tests.. that makes me think something is funny.. and caseys dad ( retired policeman ) is laying back in the dark also.. hmm lets see now .. who looks guilty??? How do we know that grandma and grandpa didnt do something to caylee to get back at casey??

It seems that many of Caseys crimes are caught on tape so I am having a hard time understanding how she is being judged unfairly or having her rights violated. She is the one that failed to report her child missing,lied to the police, forged checks, stole gas and a car and refuses to cooperate with the police trying desperately to find her child. Any opinions or judgements being made are a direct result of Caseys own behavior. I have great grand children (one turned 3 in July) and I cannot imagine any member of my family NOT joining in a search if one of ours was missing and certainly not wait 31 days before telling someone. Caseys stories stink and it is doubtful there is even a speck of truth in any of them! The plain truth is we may NEVER know what happened to this beautiful baby girl.

Casey has not cooperated with the investigation from the beginning. All she has done is send detectives on wild goose chases and has done nothing but lie the whole way through. At this point, her rights are quite questionable whether she should have any or not.

I believe even if the recordings were not leaked, I would still find her to look guilty by her not contacting authorities right away after her daughter went missing. She was out partying & not looking for her daughter like she said she was. She has done this all to herself, for people to be fighting for this girls rights are crazy. She is obviously a pathlogical liar and is a danger to society, she is selfish & deserves whatever she gets.. I feel so bad for Caylee and all of the family that will miss out on getting to be around her.

Casey Anthony has brought this on herself. CONSEQUENCES!

Public opinion/jury of your peers! sounds the same to me. The right to protest is a right of the public who believe that an injustice has been committed. Media reports. Public listens and forms an opinion. Can you think of past instances when the public protested due to injustices to their peers, fellow citizens.

i do beleive casey is responsible for what ever has happened to little
Caylee. i do beleive Caylee is no longer alive. i do beleive casey should be in jail right now, i don’t know what they are waiting for. i donot beleive she will ever tell what she did or where the baby is. my hope is that Caylee will be found. i truly hope casey is given the death penalty. i agree she is loving the spotlite.
i do not beleive her parents can control her in any way, they never could and never will, she has been out of control for a long time, this is not something that just started, her parients cannot make casey do anything. they should put her out of there home.
she will never help, will continue to lie, steel and cheat everyone she can. BABY KILLERS DON’T DESERVE RIGHTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
poor casey i think not………………………..

Casey is GUILTY of MURDER and hasn’t even been charged yet. This poor excuse for a mother deserves nothing but a life time in prison! What about Caylee’s rights? Where are Caylee’s rights? It’s time for Casey to speak up and admit what happened to her daughter….if she was any kind of mother she would let her daughters body and soul rest in peace and not keep all these caring people out there looking for her. CASEY I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL!!
There will come a time when all these people are going to stop dedicating their time and money to look for Caylee because you can’t speak the truth.

george and cindy should be locked up with obstruction ,,, they talk in riddles,,, and they dont make any sense in what they are saying,,, now all of a sudden cindy thinks caylee may be in puerto rico,, where in the world did she come up with this scenario???????and cindy puts the blame on caseys ex fiancee,, hey he came forward ,,was forthright with the police and took a lie detector test and dna tests,, so how can cindy take away from who is to really blame,, is casey ,, and herself and her husband george,, who in my opinion may be the father of caylee,,,,,, or lee anthony,, im sorry but i have been tellin this to my boyfriend everyime nancy grace has this story on air,,, i even yell at the tv,, saying please investigate the possibilities of george and lee being this little girls father,,, theres something very strange about this whole family,, very strange,,,,,,,,,, my uncle the former captain of the nypd said,,, if you have strong feelings about something,, then it may be true,,, you cant discount anything in an investigation,,, please please someone ,, look into this,,,, and maybe this is why casey behaves the way she does,, im not making excuses for her actions ,, but sometimes people do things to mask whats really underneath,,,, the narcisstic attitude she has,,,,,, all about her,,,, this poor little girl,,, she has rights too,,, and yes again george and cindy should be locked up for obstruction and talkin in riddles,,,,, just my opinion,, thanks

and what really gets me mad,, her in those pictures,, partying,, drinking etc,,, and shopping on her friends checks,,, thats a lot of nerve i say,, and if you seen those pictures of her shopping,, she bought nothing for caylee,, no little dresses,,, toys,,, hair clips nothing,, all for casey and her men friends,, beer chips etc,, these actions will convict her for sure,,,, a conviction and charge her with murder in absentia,, meaning you do not have to have a body to convict,, just like the van der sloots out of aruba,, see hear speak nothing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,she will go to jail im sure of it,,,,,,,,,,,,,, for a long long time,,,,, im just an optimist,, and that maybe casey is hiding this little girl from lee and george and cindy for what i believe who may be this little girls father,,

Casey is GUILTY! We all know. As far as Nancy Grace shes doing her job and a good one at that. Casey will get a fair trial and what she deserves. Look at Scott Peterson. Same attention to the case, and he got what he deserved.

It’s sad, so very sad, that little Caylees rights are not protected. Cayseys rights have been though to me.. I just want Caylee to be found, dead or alive. Caysey will never tell the truth about anything so the law has to do the guessing of what to do. Cayseys middle name is LIAR…If evidense comes in that their definetely was a deceased body in the trunk of that car, then I feel justice should be done.

How do Defense Attorneys look at themselves in the mirror? She has lied over and over and over again… She will get a fair trial…she will have a sleezy lying defense attorney… fighting for her rights, and she will have them…her baby the VICTIM here will not have a voice…you are something else lady…really something…you are on the wrong side of the bar…I understand the rights of the innocent… The records released are public record…or did you not know that?

I just dont see how Casey can sleep at night. Anyone who would do that to their child or any child is just a absolutly horrible individual. If (when) found guilty I hope she gets the punishment she deserves.

What is wrong with you Floyd? If this were me or the average citizen acting like this casey is acting we would be so far behind bars that we could not see day light. Casey is pretty and she is getting all the attention that she loves. She knows that if she tells where Caylee is the attention will go away. She did not like it when her mother paid Caylee more attention that she did Casey and now she is rid of Caylee. Those people not wanting to provide DNA or take lie detecter test are just asking for everyone to say that they are guilty, guilty, guilty.

This woman lied about where her daughter is took over a mounth for even the grandparents to report her missing she wasnt very fair to that little daughter of hers not fair is not knowing where that little girl is not fair is that little girl is most likely dead somewhere

First off, any mother who waited 31 days to contact the police when her young daughter is missing is guilty of neglect. That’s all she is charged with thus far. Sure common sense tells us that she killed the little girl but.. some moron wrote this article to say that she is being tried in the court of public opinion and it could hurt all of us in the long run.. Yes, somewhat of what he said is true. But with all of this evidence pointing directly at the mother, not to mention all of the lies,

I find it hard to believe that the court of public opinion is wrong on this.

Charge this girl with Capital murder. She did it, she knows it and her silence is going to convict her.

Jamie Floyd - you should be ashamed of yourself. How can you defend this piece of crap and her rights? What about the rights of her poor daughter? Didn’t she have the right to be taken care of by her mother? If Casey didn’t want her child there were plenty of others, including the grandparents, who would have gladly taken her. If God Forbid something happened to one of your grandchildren by one of your own, would you still be touting the rights of them? I think not.

Murder victims, even small children, need justice.

I believe Casey’s actions speak for themselves. I think she is the exact image of her mother Cindy…I think they are both sociopaths. I think Cindy found out what Casey did and they are trying to hide it. They never give a straight answer and they can never look straight into your eye…can’t trust em’. I think Cindy failed as a mother and wanted to make up for that through Caylee and Casey took that away. So now they are all at a loss.

I can only add my voice to the already many who have spoken here and agree that Casey Anthony is probably guilty of the murder of her daughter and if so, should come clean and tell the authorities where she left Caylee. The death penalty should apply here if this was premeditated in any way.

Again, to resubmit, as my last comment was not added. Ms. Flyod assumes that the judicial system down here in Florida is run like it is “Up North”. We have Sheriff Beary who has been indicted on charges of forming a private company with tax payer money. We have cops who spank women, a cop dragged a man out of a car so violently that he fainted, cops who beat a New York photographer at a peace rally in Orlando, that’s right a Peace Rally–the cops excuse was “They said they didn’t want cameras” Something I don’t believe and is that a reason to beat people? The media is partly to blame for this fiasco as the Anthony’s are. What civil rights, if this were a black woman, this wouldn’t be headline news. It happens all the time down here. I personally believe the Feds should be down here cleaning house. The South does not operate like the rest of the country and until the Feds step in, it will continue. This is the same state that on October 1 became mandatory to give your SSN to get your driver’s license,and your driver license from another state is not valid in Florida’s eyes. Civil rights you say? I believe Casey Anthony did it, that is besides the point, until the south follows the rules you will always have this. It is a ignorant view to assume the South has caught up, you need to live it to know it.

I will not lose any sleep over the possibility that my rights may change, regardless of the outcome of this trial. If my child disappears mysteriously, I fail to report that for over a month while I party and then, when confronted, refuse to assist the investigation, my rights as an upstanding citizen will probably not enter my mind.

Who’s the cute young woman?

In the United States, people are innocent until proved guilty. That’s the law.

Just because old white-=trash, cow-face Nancy Grace says someone is a crook or a killer doesn’t make it so. SHE is a DISGRACE to CNN.
I don’t tune in anymore because I am not a fan of white trash like her.

Why is it that there is so much crime in Orlando? Notice that there are a few more indictments. It is a crime capital. Even the cops and prosecutors are unethical.

I know. I lived there in fear of my life. You could go to jail for breathing. It’s a banana republic!!

indictment on casey anythony,, she has just turned herself in, she faces 11 counts,, the grand jury indicted her on murder charges,,,,,,casey anthony is in custody,,,,,,,,, her father testified against her,, wonder why????? cindy was nowhere to be seen only at baez ’s offce with casey,,,,, lee her brother was not around,, wonder why??? i said this before,, and it will come out in trial,, i feel that casey was possibly adopted and lee or george is,, caylee’s father,,, i personally do not feel sorry for george and cindy,, i feel this family is dysfunctional,,,,especially cindy,,, first she says her daughter belongs in jail and there was a dead body in the car,, then all of a sudden she said it was pizza,, then casey said dead squirrels,,, something is not right with this family,,,,, caylee is the victim here,, not casey,, nor george or cindy or lee,,, its this little girl,,,, and shame on some people who feel that casey had more rights then this little girl.. just my opinion,, and maybe just maybe now there will be a triall that george and lee anythony could be court orderd to take a dna test,,,, i have a gut feeling on this,,, i may be wrong,,,

Don’t you need a dead body in order to find someone guilty of murder? Caylee is, at this point in time, a missing child. Nothing more, nothing less.

After having watched the progress of this case for many weeks, I have to say that the news conference today with Jose Baez proved two things to me. 1. Casey did NOT start to show tears until the moment her parents were mentioned, and 2. if those were real tears, it looked like she was only concerned as to whether her eyeliner was running.
Cold woman, very cold.

oh my goodness,, and did you hear,,, cindy let casey out on the highway under a underpass and casey got into another vehicle,, i wonder if cindy anthony could be arrested for a possible get away for casey,,,,,,,, suspicious dont you think,, another car ,, why,,?????? thank goodness undercover police were following them,, she couldnt get away,, i think george and cindy planned her get away ,, so she wouldnt be arrested,,,,, makes you wonder dont it

I had a dog that ran away when a gate was accidently left open in my back yard. I searched the neighborhood for 2 weeks, leaving posters and contacting every vet, dog groomer, and pet finder agency I could think of. I was frantic. Your child is missing and you do nothing? Casey isn’t crazy, Caylee was in her way and this b____h had to do something about it. If I was her mother I would be locked up for beating the c—p out of my daughter. Casey’s rights, give me a break. What about Caylee’s rights??? Her lawyer say’s she’s suffering, guess that’s why she was out partying, to take the edge off.

As difficult as it is based on what is being put out there in the media as “evidence”, to think of Casey as innocent until proven guilty, it is necessary. She does deserve a fair trial. If it wasn’t for the guarantee of a fair trial we would be going back to the days of witch hunts. Think if you were an innocent person, and because the public has only heard what the media wants them too they assume you did it. I personally do think she did it, however, she deserves a fair trial. Therefore, I will keep an open mind when the trial starts until ALL evidence has been heard and then make my decision. I can’t help but think that I’m glad that there’s all but guranteed chance none of you will be on the jury, because she would found guilty before the trial even started.

I will acknowledge the fact that there is an insurmountable amount of evidence (albeit circumstancial) against Ms. Anthony. However, what if there is even a slight chance that the child is still alive? Everyone is so focused on how to get ratings, how to villianize the whole Anthony family, people are even spending time in front of the Anthony residence making it nearly unlivable for the rest of the neighborhood, and this is all before we have even heard opening statements from anyone! It is as if all other doors are closed and the focus is on one possiblity. Ms. Anthony may have lied, she may have denied things, she may have even killed her daughter, but there are still other avenues that should still be explored at the same time that a case is being built against her. Look at how much time was spent on the JonBenet Ramsey murder, they spent all that time focusing on the parents and looking for evidence that pointed to them, tossing aside anything that may take the focus elsewhere, they destroyed a ton of evidence doing testing, only to exonerate both parents years and years later and to end up with no other leads left. Jumping to conclusions is dangerous when dealing with people’s lives. I think that the court of public opinion is looking at this case emotionally instead of logically and fairly. At this point I don’t think it is possible for her to get a fair trial because people are so quick to jump to emotional conclusions. Maybe she did do it, but she deserves the chance to tell her side in court. As we all do.

Caylee is the one who deserves justice; anyone who harmed her was unjustified &so far everything this family says/does points to all of them in some way,shape or form. The facts/DNA is what it is, but we should all try & wait for the trial as well as testimony instead of watching this family’s low level 3 ring circus,side & freak dog & pony shows.

Emotions are all running high right now. Thank goodness we still have courts to protect our rights. This is a very upsetting case with a child missing and the mother thought to be involved. We all live in the United States and have spent many years of our agreement to keep our rights of innocent until proven guilty. She will have her day in court and I’m confident justice will prevail. Unfortunately this will not help Caylee. I would also like to remind people not to JUDGE as none of us knows what we would be doing in this situation. Hope is something we all cling to when all seems lost, as with this family. (this in reference to the grandparents-let them keep their hope if that is what helps them).

I am concerned that McCain’s spokes people are saying Obama is wrong and is a socialist cuz he voted for the “Bailout’. That makes no sense to me, as McCain voted for the “Bailout” also.
Why does McCain continue to say our taxes will be higher under Obama when most of us are not rich like McCain & CEO’s so why use that statement? I am getting embarrased for McCain to make these kind of statements and find this alarming enough that I will have to possibly vote for Obama. Neither candiates should make statements that we all read enough to know better and this slanted “stuff” to me becomes lies which then leads me to wonder what kind of president would they make later. Sarah Palin’s witch priest is not so great so why would McCain talk about Rev. Wright? The old saying goes “takes one to know one”

Julia-

A very intelligent and relevant to the topic comment!

But, let me answer some of your questions.

Barack Obama is running under a platform that includes raising taxes. That is a fact. How else are we going to turn back the tide of increased debt?
John McCain has a point about Obama’s taxes though. Do you really believe that the major corporations of this country are gonna just smile and accept higher taxes? Will they sit back and allow Barack Obama to “spread the wealth”? Major corporations will “spread the taxes” down to the middle class through higher prices. Or, worse yet, take their companies overseas, along with the jobs, and the taxpayers, they provide.

Both sides have valid points. Who is right? You have to decide and vote, based on that decision

This is the most important election most of us have ever, or will ever, vote in. It will determine the direction this country is gonna take and affect generations to come.

We, as a nation, have always struggled with our two party system, with some of us always voting for one party or the other. Hopefully, that decision was made based on the platforms those parties had, not on some blind alliance to a donkey or an elephant That is not always smart, but it has served this country for a long time. This year however, many people are voting based on an attribute. Skin color. That is not smart, nor will it ever be.
