The jury system in this country is the best! They did not have any evidence to convict in this case; if a lesser charge had been there it might have been a different outcome. The State FAILED TO GIVE THE JURY ANY REAL EVIDENCE. i listened to most of it and the Defense did their job whether I thought she was guilty or not. the Prosecutor did not. He needs to retire as he plans to do.

@Molested: YOU seem to be way more concerned about financial issues than the intended purpose of this bill. How can anyone put a price on an innocent child? There was no justice for this child. And, yes, comments about this are “emotion based”. How can they not be?.. to thoes who actually LOVE their children.

Wow, the ignorance on this is by far horriable. DAGB, I totally agree with you on every aspect. This law NEEDS to be passed so another young child doesn’t have to die in vain, as Caylee has done. This law NEES to be passed so a cold blooded killer, as that of Casey Anthony doesn’t get away so easy. Had this bill of been passed the United States wouldn’t have to watch shamefully as a mother, who killed her sweet baby girl, walks a free women on Wednesday. This law is not to be passed just so “Crimes won’t be done”. What law is passed so a crime won’t be done? Law’s are passed so the criminal is punished accordingly for their actions, not to stop them. No one can stop a pathetic low life like Casey Anthony from killing her child. Although a law like this will serve justice for future children that something like this happens to. Justice is something Caylee Anthony will never have, although with this law she’ll be the reason many children in the future will get the justice that all of them deserve.

i dont get why some folks are having such a difficult time understanding that this proposed law WONT SAVE LIVES and its not meant to save lives….its a tool meant to keep other no good, psychopathic, parents/guardians from getting away with murdering their children and spending only 2.5+ years in jail….who would have believed this could happen???…. a “shock and awe” moment, to say the least…AND, its a lesson for the prosecution-
dont overcharge (with a murder one, death penalty) on a totally circumstancial case!..(hindsight is 20/20)

I’m sorry but I don’t understand how anybody can wait even 12 hours to report their child missing. If I can’t find my child within an hour at the MOST, you’d better believe I’m calling the police, every person I know, every neighbor, shoot, everybody I can even THINK of to help me find her. Forget waiting 12 hours or 48 hours! I mean, seriously, how can you wait 2 whole DAYS to report your child missing?

48 hours is a life time too long to wait for. Starting a search for a missing child within the first 12 hours is critical to finding the child alive as proven in many missing children cases, so reporting in a “timely manner” should tied to this important fact as documented by the FBI.

DAGB

Your comment on this law making Casey Anthony stay behind bars is by far the most ignorant statement of the day. There is no basis for it. You have all these labels like ignorant for me and egg donor for her. A little longer in prison in your words would be inconsequental and unmeasurable. A total waste of tax dollars. Totally without substance or sound reasoning. Emotionally based I would guess.
Even if the law you like passed then you would still have to prove when the body went missing which they failed to do in this 3 years they spent trying to prosecute her. So again more wasted money another new law and nothing.
My latter rant was about actually spending money on legislation to create jobs with measurable results rather than throw good money after a bad cause or a cause with no benefit and no improvement for law enforcement.

Ok molested I’ll bite on it. Your comment has to be the most ignorant thing I’ve seen all day. You are correct you cant pass laws to make good parents, nor is a person who commits a crime of this nature going to report it. But to have something like this on the books would be a plus to possibly keep people such as this ” egg donor” behind bars, obviously not forever but a little longer. Had this been in place she would have been guilty and had the penalty phase of another felony. As far as your last rant, ??? not sure where or why you find it relevant to the article above.

More insanity. How many laws are on the books? Tens of thousands.
If someone is going to commit murder or some other haneous crime they are not giving one thought about rushing to the authorities to report a missing person. That is plain stupid. The laws of the land was upheld whether we like the outcome or not, and this concept of additional penalties changes nothing other then more time and money spent on another needless law that will prevent nothing.
We cannot legislate good honorable parents or family. We should however be looking at ways to bring more jobs to the state though and how to get people back to work as well as how to fund education for Americans.
