Casey Anthony Jury Ends Day One Of Deliberations With No Verdict
Jurors in the Casey Anthony case finished their first day of deliberations with no verdict being rendered after they spent 6 hours reviewing the case during the 4th of July holiday.
At 6 p.m. ET Florida Circuit Court Judge Belvin Perry dismissed the jury, instructing them to get some dinner and rest at their hotel until their 8:30am return when they will begin day two of deliberations.
Before jurors were able to begin their deliberations they had to listed to 26 pages of instructions from Judge Perry and most likely spent much of their day one deliberations choosing a foreperson and reading through 35 days worth of testimony that included expert testimony with varying degrees of scientific fact.
Jurors must determine if Casey, 25, is responsible for the first-degree murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008. Casey first told authorities that a fictional nanny kidnapped her daughter, later changing her story during the trial to state that her daughter died in the family pool and that the accident was covered up.
The prosecution however claims Casey wanted to live a carefree lifestyle and killed her daughter to reach that goal, they point to Casey partying almost immediately after the disappearance of her daughter was made public and a search had begun.

What's the hold-up? DUH? Child isn't reported missing for nearly a month. Mommie dearest is out partying without a care in the world. Lies about nanny. George committed suicide…. DOH!
Jul 5, 2011
Even the grandparents didn't know the child's whereabouts and reported it, then I guess they knew the truth before the authorities did so they decide to protect their child. Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. She could have left the child with her parents!!

Sounds to me like George knew and Ciindy wouldn't let him say anything…I mean before it even happened. He knew she was lying.

I think the real mystery to all of this is why the "jury" is taking any time at all to come up with a verdict! I think they just want to get away from home at the taxpayers expense!
Jul 5, 2011
The whole freaking world knows the women are lying here! The jury is just sucking up the taxpayers hard earned dollars for free room and board and not being stuck at home being a "responsible parent" and/or getting a few days off of work!
Jul 5, 2011
I would think they would want to get home.
Jul 5, 2011
Well, that depends…. is one of the juror's a mom with 4 sick kids at home and a lazy husband? Does she have to do all the cleaning, cooking, washing, vacuuming, etc? Does she make more on jury duty than doing the menial tasks around the house while the hubby gets to do whatever, whenever he wants?

In the case of a male juror, is his wife an insufferable beotch? Too many kids fighting, arguing /w the missus, lousy job that he, too, may make more doing jury duty? Honey-do list a bit too long and it's way of procrastinating?
Jul 5, 2011
I mean there's a lame reason to found here somewhere as to why they're actually having to "deliberate" on a verdict! Give me a break!!
Jul 5, 2011
Think they were worried about one of the jurors, not wanting to "judge"
Jul 5, 2011
Kick the wimp out and bring in an alternate! Problem solved! This is not a difficult version to arise at. Although it may be a difficult decision to face ~ but the beotch is guilty as sin! You're young child goes missing for more than 30 minutes, you call in all armed forces and sound the amber alert and plaster the media with that child's photo. Not only when the grandparents can locate the child!!
Jul 5, 2011
And, with George committing suicide… come on!!! Else he'd of stuck around to make sure that the child's "killer" was brought to justice!

@The Inquisitr, I shall now be blocking you from infecting my news feed with "half truths" and "half stories"! I'm extremely disappointed in your "reporters/editors", whatever you want to call them. I had not heard anything at all about George's "attempted" suicide until you posted it as his "suicide"! Imagine my shock when I believed and repeated what you reported only to see on the television at the close of the trial that "George and his wife" actually got up out of their seats and walked out of the courtroom after hearing the verdict that their daughter got away with murdering their granddaughter! I know realize that you're in the same league as the "Star" and actually below the "National Enquirer"! Shame on you!!
