no probably not. Every single reason I can think of for dancing in the street when African Americans are found innocent always goes back to the fact that African Americans have been treated unfairly by the justice system.
But isnt it some sort of crime to dispose of said child's body in a swamp and hide its location from the authorities for 6 months?
This seems likely. Tampering with evidence or something? Obstruction of justice? Seems like those are charges that should have been able to stick.
Someone said they probably could not seperate it from the original crime. If you shoot some one and move the body . .it is one crime not two that is what I am told Rocket River
Someone else just said to me "How can you be convicted of tampering with evidence of a crime when a jury just said you didn't commit a crime?"
Except that the story that Casey and her defense team came up with was that her father was the one that disposed of the body, and that a meter reader found the body and then placed the body in the swamp. If the jury bought into the story that the defense team came up with, then Casey was only guilty of lying to the police. She was lying because she was sexually molested by her father and brother and she was accustomed to lying and making things up. That's according to Casey of course, if you believe her, which I don't.
If you kill someone . .. . and I help you hide the body I can be charged with Tampering . .but not murder . .. Rocket River
if she wasn't involved in her child's death, then the child would be assumed to be alive and simply missing. it is completely negligent to not take actions to find her and report your child missing.
Except she admitted she knew the child was dead and claims she and her father cooperated to cover it up.
I'm confused. Are you saying the w**** Casey Anthony was witnessed by someone named "the b****" committing this crime? The injustice.
It's not the inner city that's amazing. It's history and that of African Americans in our justice system that's amazing. If you have different ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
OJ and Casey both committed murder. When OJ was found not guilty, streets filled with celebration When Casey was found not guilty, streets were not celebrating if you are trying to say that it's okay, b/c blacks have been mistreated, well lol at you. I'm assuming you are black, if might ask?? Just wondering
This is not a political issue. Your scruples are lacking if you really think that this is appropriate.
Blacks have been mistreated. Whether or not that's the reason for any celebration is unknown by me, but it is a fact that they've been mistreated. You can look at bail being set for African Americans than for white Americans who commit the same crimes. Blacks and Whites who are both found guilty and have the same number of prior convictions see Blacks getting longer sentences. That is especially true when the victim is white. White perpetrators receive lighter sentences than African Americans for the exact same crime when the victim is white. http://books.google.com/books?id=UI...s longer sentences for the same crime&f=false This is true today in the U.S. not in the racist past. You can also look at crack cocaine having mandated longer sentences than powder cocaine. Both drugs are cocaine, but one is more likely to be in the possession of minorities in the lower socioeconomic scale. Add these stats to a history where African Americans sometimes didn't make it to trial because they were lynched, and rightly or wrongly it's easy to understand why African Americans might have resentment against the justice system. If you have other studies that show why there is no reason to have resentment, I'd be willing to look at them. No, I'm not black, but injustice no matter who it's against regardless of race is a problem for everyone.
