Thanks - that, of course, makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for the clarification, McCourt. I'd like to ask a hypothetical if you don't mind-- In any case, if it is deemed the defense lawyer did something illegal or unethical, would that constitute...

Tiffany - certainly I'm no law expert, but although the double jeopardy law in some cases seems ridiculous, we really wouldn't want to do without it. It really is an important protection that, at...

Watched a show last night, I think on ID, but maybe not - Anyway, it was Dr. G going into more detail about Caylee. Nothing gory or anything, but things she wasn't allowed to testify to in court. ...

Totally 100% agree!

As much as I'm trying to stay out of this thread now days, I do have to say that I'm not surprised that Larry Flynt is willing to take on Casey. He thrives on controversy and filth.

Just two...

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

Totally agree.

OMG - I've not had In Session on since the trial - just flipped over there a minute ago and they are STILL talking about it - jeeezzzzz

I have no doubt he'll never collect, but hopefully some other crazy person will think twice before wasting valuable time from people who do such a great service. They may have been able to locate...

I have no problem with this and actually think it is highly appropriate. She wasted their time/money under fraudulent circumstances.

ITA, neilmpenny. That's what I've been trying to say the whole time. A lot of people jump on the emotional bandwagon, but don't stop to think how they would feel if they were the defendant, or what...

Yeah, this dead horse has been beaten until it's pulp. I'm very sorry she got away with it; I wish the State had put on a better case. But they didn't. The trial is over. Nothing is going to...

I would think that someone with maybe even a slight impairment, if they keep up with all the different social media, TV, radio, etc., keep hearing inuendos that the Jury rushed to judgement because...

I found this if it helps explain. To my understanding Civil and Criminal courts are two different entities; ergo, no double jeopardy.
...

I'll jump in here majcm - My personal belief is that Caylee died by some accident; that accident, I think, was initiated by Casey. Of course Casey's behavior after that was reprehensible and just...

Thanks! I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought that:o

I respectfully disagree. I did not say Paulination couldn't have an opinion. I said I was offended (personally) by Pauli or anyone else saying that these 12 people were idiots. That is his opinion...

I never said he couldn't have his opinion; everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm just offended that 12 people who came up with an unpopular verdict are now considered idiots. They are not...

Hopefully they will? If you're ever up for a trial, do you want the Jurors to be afraid to come up with a not guilty verdict in your case, just because they are scared to be ostrasized?! Really?!
...

Sorry Paulination, but I'm gonna disagree with a couple of things: First you/we don't know exactly what the Jury had in front of them, because even tho I watched most of the trial on TV, what was...

Totally agree with SierraRose, et al. It's over. It's done. Nothing is going to change it. The sun actually did come up today and will tomorrow. I'm pretty sure she got away with it, too, but that...

The double jeopardy rule arises from the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the relevant clause of which reads: "[no person shall] be subject for the same offense to be twice put in...

I don't want to give anything away (as far as the movie goes), but maybe there was more evidence....maybe not? Both highly circumstantial.

I really think anyone keeping up with this case would...

Probably the only book I'd ever read about this whole thing would be if Judge Perry were to write one. I'm about 99.9% sure he won't ever, and may not be able to anyway, but that would be one...
