that somebody left by the roadside who has received absolutely no justice at all today. we will never know. somebody put that child in a bag and left her in the woods. and we re getting hugs and cheers and everyone s delighted all around and big joy, smiling faces. and this child is gone from the face of this earth after only two years, you know, of life. and everybody, you know, it s a happy, happy moment here. casey anthony s smiling and laughing and hugging, and it s bizarre to me. reporter: i ve got five of my own, martha, as you know. the last three of them girls. i looked at caylee marie s picture can and those videos, and i feel as you do that the child has not received justice. but that jury rightfully said, well, wait a second, why were they searching there in the same exact spot where they found the body a month later? the jury is looking at odor evidence? did they ever admit that odor
table having conversations with herself, her mouth moving a little, eyebrows going up and down as if she s contemplating, you know, whether this bit of evidence or that bit of evidence went for her or against her. but now the die is cast. now the verdict has been rendered, and the fact that it was nine hours but it s not really nine hours. first they ve got to get into the deliberation room, then they pick a foreman, then they did, you know, i think the bare minimum in terms of reviewing the evidence, and, man, the first second they could they announced that they are ready. and they are definitely ready. they ve been in prison themselves in many ways, this jury. martha: yeah. geraldo, i thank you. and we re waiting, as soon as the audio opens up from this courtroom, i promise we will take you in there live. casey anthony, as you can see on the right-hand side of your screen, has been biting her nails and looking down. one can only imagine what this is like for her and what this exper
when she went through the final closing argument. it s a question of whether it stuck with the jury or not. martha: i was thinking about the whole issue of the trunk, because so much time was spent on whether there was a smell in the trunk, whether there was any decomposition fluid in that trunk. and in many ways if you take the trunk out of the picture, you know, and you have the chloroform search, and you have the body that was found, you could, you know, draw a line through several of those events that would also, might for many people vote to a guilty verdict in casey anthony s case. but the trunk may end up being sort of where a lot of these people are making their decisions about what happened here. i completely agree with you on that as well. to me the trunk was the most devastating, or some of the most devastating evidence against casey, to have various police officers, two canine dogs, the expert, the best expert on dee dee composition, they all said it smelled like a decomp
he could with what he had finished his argument at the end of the day they might have been swayed one way, but the prosecution came back the next morning with a rebuttal that was very strong, with elements that were very, very compelling. martha: indeed, jaime our so right. phil keating is standing by live, he s been covering the trial throughout. phil, we have a verdict. we do have a verdict, and judge belvin perry has put out the word, everyone is now running up into the courthouse up on the 23rd floor behind me here in orange county, orange county, florida, the most highly anticipated and watched murder trial since o.j. simpson finally has come to a near end after deliberating for roughly six hours yesterday and about five hours today, so eleven hours in total. a seven count indictment against casey anthony. at 2:15 this afternoon, so in about 45 minutes from now that is when the jurors will talk into the courtroom and sit in those seats where they have sat for the past six weeks.
so it looked different than it actually is. you want her to be guilty, you want to convict her, because the first week of evidence about tattoos and partying, and her lies. martha: this is why we heard about sexual abuse by the father, this is there was an effort that was made to make this woman into some kind of a victim, to put some sort of vulnerability around her and some sort of blame on someone else. what you and arthur just said is really the truth of what goes on in a trial, justice, forget about it, trials are not about justice they are about winning. the prosecution wants to win the defense wants to win so no similar that the thee, no emotion, that is ridiculous, linda drane burdick s closing argument was all about emotion and anger and getting the jury angry. she wants to winment casey anthony s lawyer he wants to win, jose baez sex-abuse, drowning, this. that and the other you want to win and the two of you just highlight the lengths that we go to as prosecutors and def
