Fascinating: Casey Anthony Voir Dire and the Death Penalty.

[Mike 03]

Are any of you as transfixed by this as I am? I am certain, after observing today, that even the Prosecution doesn't want to enpanel a jury that will sentence Casey Anthony to death. They appear to be embarrassed to bring Death against this defendant.

This is so interesting. The Prosecution seems to be admitting they were pressured into pursuing the death penalty by political forces, even though they think it is ridiculous to put this person to death for this crime.

No wonder Prosecutor Ashton always looks like he is verging on having a heart attack.

The death penalty needs to be phased out. I know passions run high on this issue, but it is overprosecuted, and the Casey Anthony case, IMHO, is a classic example of an egregious example of overprosecution.

Just my two cents.
