Iregardless the state couldn't prove exactly when she died and therefore how can she be found guilty of anything? My daughter's keep telling me she should at least be found guilty of child neglect because her baby died. Well the state has not proved the baby died while she was watching her.
If it's a child under your care or supervision, absolutely. I guess I should have clarified that since we're talking about children. Adults are different. If you passed an adult dead on the side of the road, no... but say you hit that person and drove off w/o calling 911- that's an accident but that would also be negligent homicide. I'm sure it varies by state, some places might call it negligent manslaughter, but here in FL I'm pretty sure they call it negligent homicide.

The state fucked up because they didn't offer a report on the computer activity on June 16th when they presented their case. They didn't even pull the report on the computer activity until the defense began their case. I don't know how closely you followed things but I think it was during the first week of the defense's case in a early morning hearing the state provided a copy of the computer records from the Anthony home computer for June 16th which purportedly contained IM logs that establish Casey was in the home with Caylee after George had left for work. They planned to present it in their rebuttal, but because the defense didn't attempt to enter into evidence any testimony in their case that might question or establish the timeline of events on June 16th the report could not be entered by the state.

Opening statements aren't case evidence. Jose Baez never went at George Anthony on the stand about the events of June 16th in the defense's case.

My hunch is for the jurors it probably didn't come down to what they thought of Casey, or what they thought of Jose Baez or John Ashton.. in the end the state needed the jurors to believe points of George and Cindy's testimony and the entire family at various moments purgered themselves on the stand. If you discount all of the Anthony family tesimony- without having entered into evidence the cell tower and home computer information and establishing that as evidence from the beginning the state can't make a case, and throwing away all the testimony from any of those individuals having all been caught in various lies is up to the juror's prerogative. It is what it is. You don't get do-overs.
