The trial is over, but there's yet another twist in the Casey Anthony case.

The Orange County, Fla., Sheriff's Department announced it is investigating allegations of witness tampering in the high-profile trial that ended in stunning acquittals.

Authorities wouldn't name the witness, but said it wasn't Anthony's mother, Cindy

Detective John Allen said some people have already been interviewed in the investigation.

"In regards to where we will go, it really depends on what information we get and what people come forward to provide additional information," Allen said.

Anthony, who was found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, is scheduled for release from jail on Sunday.




so what could this if anything have to do with casey? if a witness was tempered with that gave false testimony for casey (and its provable) can they go after her again? or if even then is she still safe?
 
They just can't let it go that they had no evidence, and that she was innocent, can they? Fuckers need to start getting sued for harassment.
 
I wonder if they go after he mom for perjury for lying about the internet searches.

It almost seems like they wanted to keep Casey off death row, but may have been shocked that she got away completely.

She wasn't found to be innocent; she was found to be "not guilty."

Courts don't find people innocent. They find them not guilty [beyond a reasonable doubt]. Big difference.

I'm not saying that she did it or did not do it. Just pointing out the common misconception.

I'm well aware of the distinction. I made no error, but I guess I should have clarified that I meant she was innocent of the crime to begin with.

Dude... There's no way for you to make that judgement. She may have been found not guilty but based on what I saw she is far from innocent. None of us were there, including you, so to proclaim her innocent is not possible.
 
damn he just said she didn't do it? No wonder she isn't rotting in jail. FUCK I hope my life's never in the hand of 12 jurors.

Unless there is some supreme court ruling on it, I believe that once a jury renders a verdict the state can't retry the cause due to double jeopardy.

Once there was a suspect that was found not guilty. Later it was discovered that the judge had been bribed to declare him not guilty.

Obviously the prosecution wanted to retry the suspect. The suspect argued against a second trial citing double jeopardy. The courts disagreed saying he was never in jeopardy the first time, so the new trial went ahead.

Would such an argument apply in this case? No idea.

But just saying it IS possible for someone to be tried again even after being found not guilty.
 
how can you people be worried about things like this when every day, right in fron of your faces, the constitution is being violated?
 
It would have to be one hell of a tampering for them to put her on trail again.
And even then I don't know if they would do it.

What we are most likely to find out is that someone lied in order to keep her out of the chair. We already know her mom lied under oath. Might have been someone else who had something damning and kept it to themselves.
 
Interesting...
(j) If the offense under this section occurs in connection with a trial of a criminal case, the maximum term of imprisonment which may be imposed for the offense shall be the higher of that otherwise provided by law or the maximum term that could have been imposed for any offense charged in such case.
(k) Whoever conspires to commit any offense under this section shall be subject to the same penalties as those prescribed for the offense the commission of which was the object of the conspiracy.

So if Casey had anything to do with the tampering she could be found guilty and given the same sentence as her trail would have given her. (unlikely to execute her of course)
But IF she did do it then she could be looking at life in prison... we can only hope.
