Simon and Jan Barrett were joined by Orlando based journalist Dave Knechel, well known California lawyer Mannie Barling, crime writer Denney Griffin, and Florida Bail bondsman William Cobra Staubs.
Last week saw the door close on one chapter of the Casey Anthony story. Many people were shocked by the ‘not guilty’ verdicts, and although Judge Perry did what he could with the 4 counts of lying to the police, by this time next week, Casey Anthony will be free.
Was justice served in this case? That was a question that I poised to the panel. The answers varied depending on the point of view used. From a cold clinical aspect, yes justice was served, the letter of the law was followed. From an emotional standpoint, no, justice was denied.
In a press conference following the not guilty verdict Jose Baez made the observation “There are no winners”. That is true, but there are losers. The biggest loser being Caylee Anthony. She has received no justice. In fact it is possible or even probable that she never will.
America may have an imperfect system however it has an uncanny knack of reaching the ‘finish line’ eventually. One only needs to look back at the OJ saga to see that. Or the more recent Haliegh Cummings case. Do not give up on the system, it does work.
We spent some time on the program discussing the role of the tabloid TV news in the case, particularly the role of HLN and Nancy Grace. Her role is a complex one. Did she help or hinder? One thing is certain, she brought the Caylee Anthony to the national press. Without her this entire story would have been buried on page 5 of the local newspaper and forgotten in a week.
There is another side of the coin. Did she insert herself too deeply into the case, and as a result colored it, all in the name of ratings?
Mannie Barling works primarily in the ‘Hollywood zone’. He had some interesting observations to make. I will not try to paraphrase them, I suggest that you listen to the recording of the program. You can listen to it here:
Listen to internet radio with Simon Barrett on Blog Talk Radio
Casey Anthony may well be free next Sunday, but what does that really mean? Where can she go, what can she do, without being in the media spotlight?
There are also civil suits brewing. It may be possible for her to delay the Zanny problem on the 19th, but how long for? There are also rumors of other suits.
The State of Florida is making noises about trying to recover their costs for the investigation, thats a non starter! Recovery of Jury costs is equally a non starter.
As Mannie Barling pointed out ‘It opens the door to double jeopardy’.
Of course much of the problem can be made to go away with her declaring bankruptcy. About the only real issue is the IRS who really want their money. But in the grand scheme of things $70,000 is a pimple on a gnats bum.

My thought today was…I want to see this girl go down.OK now we will get to watch her dreams fade away. I don’t want a lil black eye on her. I want her to have no life in a world that hates her!! Damn Simon made me remember her back pimples bet that’s why porn don’t even want her LOL…RIP Caylee your Mom is fixing to pay for what she did right in public!!
There are rumors that Casey may come to Warren Ohio or Houston Texas. I have to say both places would be a very bad mistake. I live in the Ohio area and trust me there are alot of good old boys and rednecks that would have a problem with her being here. I believe Texas isnt much different. And Ohio isnt exactly her cup of tea, no big Fusion like places for hr to strut her ugly butt. jmo
LOL Just got the image of Casey trying to hide in the Amish community here in Ohio. Now that would be funny to see a pic of her hanging laundry out on the clothes line, wearing the traditional garb.jmo
Tim miller has filed a civil suit today agianst Casey Anthony to recoup 112,000 in expenses looking for a missing child.
I believe he will win and so will Zanida G. THE TOTAL INCLUDING THE iRS IS ALMOST THE AMOUNT SHE GOT FOR THE PICTURE ETC. SHE SOLD TO abc for 200,000. jmo

Subject:
Boycott of Casey Anthony
Letter:
To Whom It May Concern
As a consumer activist I am strongly supporting the Boycott of Casey Anthony and those who may benefit as a result of her acquitted crimes. As a representative of the Media I am asking that you not support her, directly or indirectly. This would include any paid interviews or other services for Casey, her family, her lawyers or her jurors. We understand that your business may require the publication of media that might mention the case as it is currently a huge news item. We just ask that you not pay for any of the information, this would include monetary or other, such as trips to Disney.
I would also want to inform you that I will also be sending similar letters to your sponsors that advertise using your media. While it would be impractical to boycott every media outlet that is covering this case, I intend to boycott all sponsors that advertise at media outlets that pay for information from Casey, her family, her lawyers or her jurors.
It is with deep regret that I send you this letter. As you have seen the public has spoken in regards to this case. We sincerely hope you take swift action and show your public commitment by not supporting Casey Anthony.
Sincerely,
Supporter of the Boycott of Casey Anthony

Thank you Justice for all the links to boycott Casey Anthony, family ,attorneys and jurors. No momney should be profited by any of these people on Caylees name. I have signed Caylees Law. It is a good law. I hope it gets passed swiftly. I urge everyone to sign this petition. I wish it could be made retroactive.jmo
I hate what this jury did.I think they are wrong.Casey and the men(lawyers??) hanging all over her,hoping for more later.All of their flipping the bird at everyone,and smirking.I would have liked to see someone slap that smirk off all their faces.I don’t think the jurors should be called names by anyone unless something is proven against them. There’s a lot of us on here that are retired,doesn’t mean we are lazy or are losers. We take care of our beautiful great- grandson every week.That is not a job for a lazy person.I’m just trying to say we don’t know these people even tho we are sure they got it wrong. lol
Someone one needs to end her life
She doesn’t deserve be even be on this earth why a group of people thought that they could choose what her punishment was to be is stupid that was the judges job shame on that jury…..
I am glad to see someone decided to try and stop jurors from profiting on the jury duties.
Hope it passes in all of the States not just Florida. jmo
The constitution gives rights to FREE speech not the right to sell your Free speech for a profit when you sit on a jury. Anyone now going in to serve on a jury can have thoughts of selling their story and if the story is worth more if the verdict goes a certain way means they are tainted because they could sway it to be more profitable for them later. jmo
I believe Casey had plans on pinning this on Zanny, the only thing that saved Zany was she did not get that appartment in Sawgrass. Casey had her phone number name ,names of her 2 daughters, make of her car, and the fact Zanny was working at one time as a child care worker. I can see why Zanny is sueing, she got out of Caseys lies by shear luck. jmo
