Gotta Watch: Judging Casey Anthony case

It's the capital murder case that's held our attention this summer. But has the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony intentionally murdered her daughter? The jury is beginning their deliberations today, and now it's your chance to weigh in. You've gotta watch the most pivotal moments from the defense and prosecution and judge for yourself whether Casey Anthony is guilty or innocent.

Prosecuting Casey Anthony – The state of Florida contends Casey Anthony cared more about partying and having a fun life than being a mother. It's her motive for murder, according to prosecutors. They paint her as a liar trying to live the good life at the expense of her daughter.

Defending Casey Anthony – The defense brought molestation allegations against Casey Anthony's father and brother during the trial. It pointed to George Anthony as the real culprit behind the toddler's death and cover-up. Most importantly, Casey Anthony's defense team relied upon the fact that Caylee Anthony's cause of death is undetermined. It believes that's the real reason there's not enough evidence to convict the Florida mother of murder.

    Of course she's guilty, though I've never seen or heard a less capable attorney than Jose Baez. It's hard to believe he passed the Bar.

    Not Guilty. Prosecution has not sufficiently proven anything i.e. no manner of death (just speculation), as far as the tattoo it can be taken different ways "beautiful life" for her daughter who was the best thing that ever happened to her or like some people think "it's party time" i'm rid of my burden. If you continue listening to all the media (In Session, Nancy Grace who's a joke in it itself) with all their excitement and hypocritical comments (and Nancy Grace is the biggest hypocrite of them all), then there's something wrong.

      Here's the real dilemma: trying to figure out if you're an OJ juror, a regular audience of "The View," or both.

      I agree there was no smoking gun, however, her behavior has a lot to do with how one might judge this case. If you recall the Scott Peterson trial you will remember that he was convicted of murder with no more evidence then was presented in the Casey Anthony trial. He is now on death row. It's anyone's guess.

    Guilty this was no accident I doubt she gets the death penalty as we seem to be afraid to end the like of a woman and mother such as she was. But I would vote the death penalty she cannot be rehabbed she has no emotion for anyone but herself!

    Really??? I'm going to go party while my 2 year old is missing? No remorse shown in the courtroom. Crying on cue??? She's guilty as sin and she knows it. She has lied and changed her story to cover her tracks. I am a mother of 5 and if one of them was missing for even a few hours, let alone days, the last thing on my mind would be getting drunk and going to clubs. Poor baby was in her way. Caylee never had a chance. My prayers are still with her not her incredible excuse of a mother.

    I think everybody agrees she did it, but under law did the prosecution prove their case?

      When the case began I believed it was an accident. Not any more. So for me, absolutely–when the prosecution summed up they related precisely the same scenario I'd reached on my own, down to the last detail.

    Guilty on all counts. She never explained her lies and evasive behaviour. If anyone watches crime shows, without a doubt the person who lies is guilty. Why on earth would you make an accidental death look like a murder? The defense is just making up lies and lies and lies.

    What a terrible tradegy for the entire Anthony family. Casey is a self absorb human being and should just come out with the truth. She is guilty and will have to answer to her God one day. My prayers to the jury and everyone involved in the court case. May God guide them to find justice for Caylee.

    Anyone who thinks this was not premeditated has to have an iq somewhere between 95 and 105. The facts are overwhelming. There is no reasonable doubt in this case. The defense's only hope is that they have one juror not bright enough to separate their emotions from a dispassionate and logical review of facts and the ability to apply common sense. A defense attorney 's goal during jury selection is to find and select a juror who is not bright enough to process facts. Hopefully, they did not succeed getting an ignoramus like some of the commentators on this site who after all the evidence still maintain casey's innocence. What a terrible miscarriage of justice it will be and it will put on display again the weakness of our criminal justice system. All jurors should have to take and score in the bright normal range on iq test (110-119).

    I really hope the jury is smarter than the folks posting that she's not guilty or the state didn't prove its case.
